The Place
More about Cala Conta.
Cala Conta
A few minutes from the villa, Cala Conta is one of the most luminous coves on the western coast of Ibiza — three small bays of turquoise water, low sandstone cliffs, and the silhouettes of Bosc and Conillera holding the horizon. The light here is famous: a slow, golden glow that lingers long after the sun has touched the sea.
Sunset Ashram
Perched on the rocks above the cove, Sunset Ashram has become an Ibiza ritual — barefoot tables, incense and a DJ who follows the falling sun. Arrive an hour before sunset for a glass of wine on the terrace, then drift down to the sand as the sky turns.
Cala Escondida
Tucked just behind Cala Conta and reached by a short pine-lined path, Cala Escondida — the "hidden cove" — is a small wooden chiringuito built into the rocks. Hammocks, fresh fish, and a slower, more bohemian pace; the kind of place you find once and return to all week.
Cala Bassa
Around the headland, Cala Bassa opens onto a wide arc of pale sand sheltered by pines and juniper. The water is glassy and shallow — perfect for a long morning swim — and the legendary CBbC beach club anchors the bay for a leisurely lunch under the trees.
Visit in the low season
The island empties, the fires are lit, and the house finally slows down.
Two fireplaces, an infrared sauna, hammam and ice plunge under the pines, and a chef in the kitchen — the house at its calmest from November to March.
