Es Codolar

A long stretch of glossy grey pebbles makes up the shoreline of Es Codolar, situated directly under the fly path to Ibiza’s airport, meaning you can watch planes full of tourists coming into land from the tranquility of this surprisingly almost deserted beach. It’s close proximity to the salt plains makes the water here particularly salty, and thus buoyant, a great place to float the day away.

Who goes there?
It’s a very small group of Ibiza locals who frequent Es Codolar – predominantly older expat clubbing types, grown-up party people and a few wellness gurus thrown in for good measure. You’ll also find plenty of people with pets here, as it’s one of the only beaches you can take a dog off the leash.

When to go
Early birds will love spotting the pack of wild Podencos (the Ibicenco breed of dog) roaming the beach in the mornings on their hunt for rabbits.

White Ibiza loves
Swimming out to the trampoline-style pontoon in the middle of the sea, soaking up the sun’s rays and then diving off into the cool blue water… but let’s keep that our little secret!
