Skip to content Cala Vadella
Cala Vadella is a small resort in Ibiza, beautifully situated against the hills that surround this beautiful bay on the west coast of the island. Not far from San Jose, just a short 15-minute drive from San Antonio and about 25 minutes from Ibiza Town, Cala Vadella offers a true visual feast. As you slowly follow the winding road down by car or bus, the bay is gradually revealed, and the mix of clear turquoise and blue waters, the beautiful white sand beach and the lush, green hills are truly breathtaking.
Beautiful for families
Cala Vadella is an ideal resort for families, as the water in the bay is calm, and the beautiful beach slopes gently. The small pools between the rocks on one side of the bay are ideal for snorkeling and a variety of water sports can be enjoyed including kayaking, scuba diving and pedal boating. The bay is known for its beautiful sunsets and there are always a number of motor and sailing boats anchored there, especially because of the beautiful view, which you also get from the hills surrounding Cala Vadella, where you can take beautiful walks through the pine trees.
Life along the beach
With such stunning views available, it’s not surprising that most restaurants and bars surround the beach. You can enjoy delicious, relaxing lunches and dinners in Cala Vadella while overlooking the bay. The town is fairly quiet during the day, but at night the bars can get festive. Seafood and shellfish are popular, and you can choose from a number of good restaurants along the beach, such as Maria Louisa, where you can enjoy local specialties under an umbrella. There is also a beach club today called Maya with nice views of the bay.
Visiting Cala Vadella
If you are not staying nearby, Cala Vadella is easily reached by car, or by bus from San Jose, San Antonio or Ibiza Town. However, parking is not always easy during the peak season.
