Cala Comte

Clearest water on the west coast

Cala Comte

Two sandy coves and a rocky point facing the islands of Conillera and Bosc, with water that goes from white to deep blue in a few metres. Sunset here is the reason the beach bars fill every evening.

The short answer

Cala Comte (Cala Conta in Spanish) is on the west coast of Ibiza, 10 km south west of Sant Antoni and about 30 minutes by car from Ibiza Town. It is known for the clearest water on the island and the view of the islets of Conillera, Bosc and Espartar. People come for the day and stay for the sunset at Sunset Ashram. By boat it is 20 minutes from Sant Antoni harbour.

The main beach faces west and the small islands of Conillera, Bosc and Espartar sit right in front, which is what makes the sunset. A path along the rocks leads north to a second, smaller sandy cove and to Cala Escondida, a nudist beach behind the point. Cala Bassa, the other big west coast cove, is five minutes away by car and shares the same boat routes.

Half of the boat trips in the Ibiza catalogue list Cala Comte or Cala Bassa on the route, and most leave from Sant Antoni. Anchoring in the bay for lunch is the classic west coast day.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cala Comte the same as Cala Conta?

Yes. Cala Comte is the Catalan name, Cala Conta the Spanish one. Signs use both.

How do I get to Cala Comte without a car?

Bus L4 from Sant Antoni in summer, a taxi, or a boat from Sant Antoni harbour, which takes about 20 minutes and avoids the car park.

Is there parking at Cala Comte?

One paid car park above the beach. In July and August it is full by late morning and the road gets closed to new cars.

Can I anchor a rental boat at Cala Comte?

Yes, boats anchor in the sandy bay outside the swimming buoys. It is one of the calmest anchorages on the west coast in the afternoon.

Which beach is next to Cala Comte?

Cala Bassa, five minutes south east by car, with a beach club and a bigger car park. Cala Escondida is a short walk north along the rocks.

Where do I watch the sunset at Cala Comte?

From the beach itself or from the terrace of Sunset Ashram on the rocks. Both face the islets, so the sun sets between them.
