Cala Roja: a secret corner next to the cliffs of Ibiza
Cala Roja is a small hidden cove in the north of Ibiza, near the Cap Martinet area, which still retains a wild and little-travelled character. Its difficult access by land keeps it away from mass tourism, making it a perfect place for those seeking tranquillity and connection with nature.
Flanked by impressive reddish cliffs that give it its name, this cove offers a unique landscape, where the contrast between the red of the rock and the deep blue of the sea creates a special atmosphere. You won't find beach bars or deckchairs, but you will find a raw and authentic beauty, ideal for those who value the most natural Ibiza.
Thanks to its isolation, Cala Roja is also an excellent place to anchor your boat. The waters are clear and calm, perfect for swimming, snorkelling or simply enjoying the silence and the views. From the sea, the cove is revealed in all its splendour, especially at sunset, when the cliffs are tinged with golden and ochre tones.
Location: Cala Roja is located in the north of Ibiza, near Cap Martinet and Talamanca, in an area with little traffic and surrounded by unspoilt nature. It is a cove hidden among the reddish cliffs that give it its name, accessible mainly by boat or on foot along rocky paths.
Services: There are no tourist services. There are no sunbeds, beach bars or lifeguards, which reinforces its wild and quiet character. It is advisable to bring water, some food and suitable footwear for walking on uneven terrain.
Activities: Ideal for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing in total silence. Its waters are clean and transparent, with rocky bottoms that invite underwater exploration. It is also a very popular spot for photography and landscape observation.
Size: It is a small cove, with a narrow strip of sand and stones, surrounded by high cliffs. Its small size and difficult access mean that it is not very crowded, even in high season.
