Cala Nova


Cala Nova is situated at six kilometres from Santa Eulària des Riu, between Esculls (“reefs”) des Canar (the navigator is recommended to avoid passing between this coast and the reef with his boat) and Cala Llenya, as well as next to the nearby village of La Joya.
This beautiful isolated and virgin sea inlet is divided into two bays which are both not too big. At the rear, at about three hectometres, there is one of the best camping places of Eivissa, as well as a thick pine wood that surrounds the coast.

This coastal track has fine-grained golden sand, and the slope is quite gentle (at 50 metres from the coast there is a depth of only two metres).

This sandy area has clear water and it is open to the wind from the east which is quite strong, and which normally blows from the sea and makes the swell grow a lot. These conditions explain that you have to be very careful if you want to swim or anchor a boat on the sandy ground. The nearest port facilities are located at Club Nàutic des Canar.

The accessibility by car is easy following the signs. The private car can be left on a free parking area in the surroundings. You can also reach this beach with the public transport. The nearest bus stop is located at 1,3 kilometres.

These characteristics explain that the beach of Cala Nova is not very crowded by tourist visitors.

Cala Nova


One of the only beaches in Ibiza that can actually lay claim to providing conditions good enough to surf, the dramatic backdrop of Cala Nova is unspoilt and rustic with a long arc of dark golden sand surrounded by rocky red cliffs and pine-clad hills. While the water is quite shallow, it does have a tendency to have quite strong rips so take care when swimming.

Location: On the island’s east coast, just past Es Canar.

Who goes there: Cala Nova is a popular beach with families, due to its expansive nature - you can enjoy plenty of space to spread out on the sand. And yes, when weather permits, Ibiza’s surfing community come out of the woodwork too!

When to go: If you’re into surfing, check the weather reports for strong northerly winds… then get going! For everyone else, Cala Nova is best in the mornings when the sun warms up the sand and sea as it rises over the east.

White-Escapes loves: The fact there is actually a beach where bodysurfing is possible. Sure, the big waves for boarders are rare, but if you love catching a wave while you’re swimming, this is the place to be.
