BeachCala Nova
A sandy beach about 250 m long near Es Canar, open to the east. Easterly winds bring waves; in season there are lifeguards, restaurants and sunloungers.
What makes Cala Mastella special
Tucked among the pine trees on Ibiza’s east coast is Cala Mastella, a small cove in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu. The nearest village is Sant Carles de Peralta, and the cove is very close to Cala Llenya.
The little beach is about 50 metres long and 18 metres wide, with golden sand and gravel. There are a few buildings around it; otherwise there’s little development. At the sides, the shore turns to rock. The water is usually calm.
Because it’s so small, this isn’t a place for a long beach walk. You come here to swim, to snorkel along the rocks and perhaps to eat fish.
Getting there and parking
You can get there by car or on foot; the route is signposted. The last stretch of road is narrow, so drive slowly. There’s parking near the cove.
Facilities
Cala Mastella has few facilities. According to Turespaña, Spain’s national tourism organisation, there are toilets. Our old page also listed sunloungers and parasols for hire and a simple beach bar. We haven’t rechecked that, and what’s on offer may vary from season to season. Turespaña doesn’t mention lifeguards, so don’t assume the beach is supervised.
On the cove is El Bigotes, a fish restaurant serving traditional Ibizan fish dishes. It has its own entry on the map. Opening days and how to book can change, so check before you go.
Tips for your visit
- Bring water shoes: there are pebbles and rocks in the water.
- Bring a snorkel for the rocks at the sides of the cove.
- The beach is small. Arrive in good time if you want a spot on the sand.
- If you want to eat at El Bigotes, sort it out well in advance.
- If you snorkel further out, use a brightly coloured swim buoy so that boats can see you more easily.
- Take your rubbish away with you; litter stands out even more in a small cove.
Nearby
Close to Cala Mastella is Cala Llenya, a sandy beach about 220 metres long that was awarded a Blue Flag for 2026. You’ll find more room there if the little beach is full.
The village of Sant Carles de Peralta is a few kilometres inland. Near the village is the Las Dalias hippie market. Both are on the map.
