Es Cavallet
Research-ledThe editor has been to Ibiza; this place is from the guide’s research. Checked .
Citorah says
Salinas is where the influencers go to be photographed; Es Cavallet is where the people who live in Ibiza go to actually swim. It’s the island’s historic gay beach, still the most relaxed mixed crowd you’ll find, and on quiet days the only soundtrack is the wind in the dunes.
From Best beaches in Ibiza 2026 — 8 worth the drive, under “Es Cavallet”.
Wrong for
Under-fives wanting a calm cove, and for anyone allergic to the sight of a naked German.
The catch
In August, day-boat groups tender in from 13:00 — same dynamic that ruins Cala Bassa — so be off the sand or in El Chiringuito by then.
Good to know
- Getting there
- The Salinas bus drops you in Ses Salines and you walk the pine track 10 minutes east to Es Cavallet itself

Citorah PickRestaurant
El Chiringuito Es Cavallet
Citorah says That leaves El Chiringuito Es Cavallet at the north end as the remaining sit-down option on the sand — grilled fish, salads, a wine list, mains €25–€38, bookings essential in July and August.
The catch The sunbed concession out front is €70 for two beds and a parasol, which is the most aggressive markup on the south coast
Citorah PickRestaurant
Sa Trinxa
Citorah says Sa Trinxa is the institution: grilled sea bass around €28, salads €18, a beer €6. The DJ sets that made it famous have been wound down under the natural-park regulations, so it’s a beach restaurant now rather than the sunset-DJ scene the old guides remember — still book ahead in July or you’re standing at the bar.

Las Salinas
Citorah says The beach itself is fine pale sand, about 1.5km long, water shelves gently for 20m before deepening — kids can stand, but it’s not a paddling-pool bay. Shade is real here, which is the whole point: the pine forest at the back means you can actually sit out a 35°C afternoon without renting a bed.
Wrong for Anyone wanting quiet — by 14:00 in July it’s a parade.
