BeachPorroig
A small fishing cove on the south-west coast of Ibiza, with traditional boathouses and a shingle beach. No beach bar, so bring your own food and drink.
What makes Platja des Jondal special
Platja des Jondal, also called Cala Jondal, is on the south coast of Ibiza, in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. The beach lies between two headlands and faces south. Pine trees and juniper bushes grow all around it.
The beach is mainly made up of round pebbles, known on Ibiza as códols. A few metres out, the seabed turns sandy. There’s a sandy stretch at the northern end, and in some places extra sand has been added to make lying down more comfortable.
Jondal is all about eating and drinking by the sea. According to the town council, there are four beach restaurants, including beach clubs with their own events programmes. Well-known names include Blue Marlin and Tropicana. Restaurant Jondal is in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide selection. These venues each have their own entry on the map.
Yachts and sailing boats are often anchored in the bay. Some restaurants will even deliver orders to your boat.
The European Environment Agency (EEA) rated the bathing water at Cala Jondal ‘excellent’ in every bathing season from 2015 to 2025.
Getting there and parking
From Ibiza Town, take the airport road. Near the airport, turn left at the signs for Cala Jondal. Alternatively, follow the signs from kilometre 7 of the road to Sant Josep. The final stretch is unpaved.
The beach is about 12.5 km from Ibiza Town and 9.5 km from the village of Sant Josep. You can get there by car or by bike. There’s parking that belongs to the restaurants. We haven’t checked whether you can also park there if you’re not eating at one of them.

Tips for your visit
- Bring water shoes: the pebbles carry on into the water.
- It can get busy in high season. Arrive early if you’re looking for a spot on the pebbles without a booking.
- If you want a sunlounger or a table at a beach club or restaurant, book ahead.
- If you’re coming by boat, drop anchor on sand or use a buoy. Uncontrolled anchoring on posidonia is prohibited in the Balearic Islands.
- Make a side trip to Es Bol Nou and Sa Caleta, a little further east along the coast. At Sa Caleta you’ll find the remains of a Phoenician settlement from the 8th century BC.
- Take your rubbish away with you.
