The crystal clear waters of Ibiza hide a true underwater paradise.
Thanks to the extraordinary quality of the water and the extensive meadows of Posidonia oceanica, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the island offers exceptional conditions for snorkelling and discovering the life that lives below the surface.
Sant Joan: Cala Xarraca, a natural aquarium
If there is an essential cove for snorkelling in Ibiza, it is Cala Xarraca. Located in the north of the island, it stands out for its transparent waters and its combination of rock, sand and small marine inlets that serve as a refuge for numerous species.
It is common to find schools of salps, obladas, breams and even small octopuses hidden between the cracks.
In addition, on the left tip you will find a cave that can only be accessed by kayak and whose bottom is a real wonder.
Tip: get closer to the ends of the cove to find the most interesting bottoms.
Santa Eulària: Pou des Lleó, seafaring tradition and crystal clear waters
With its small traditional jetty and its quiet atmosphere, Pou des Lleó is one of those places that preserves the essence of the Ibiza of all times.
Its clean waters and the combination of sandy and rocky bottoms make it an excellent place to start snorkeling or spend hours exploring the coast.
A few meters from the shore it is easy to find schools of fish, urchins and a varied and rich variety of marine vegetation, responsible for the extraordinary transparency of the water.
In addition, its natural environment invites you to discover small coves and corners accessible only from the sea.
If you are looking for a relaxed experience, away from the busiest beaches, Pou des Lleó is one of those places where time seems to stand still and where the Mediterranean shows its most authentic face.
Sant Josep: Cala Llentrisca, a hidden underwater treasure
Hidden between cliffs and away from the busiest areas, Cala Llentrisca is one of those places that preserves the wildest essence of Ibiza.
Access requires a short walk, but the reward is worth it: crystal clear waters, a tranquil environment and a seabed perfect for snorkelling.
Its seabed combines rock and posidonia meadows, creating the ideal habitat for numerous Mediterranean species. With a little patience you will be able to observe schools of fish of different species, small octopuses hidden in the cracks of the rocks and even starfish.
Precisely because of its more isolated nature, it is an ideal cove for those looking to enjoy snorkeling away from the busiest beaches and connect with nature in its purest form.
