Platges de Comte, also called Cala Conta, is a group of three coves on Ibiza’s west coast, near Sant Josep de sa Talaia. The beach stretches for about 800 metres and looks out towards small islands, including Illa des Bosc. Clear, shallow water makes it a good spot for a swim close to shore. Two sandy sections sit alongside a rockier cove; one area is used by naturists. Stay for sunset, or take a break at one of the beachside restaurants.
Three coves on Ibiza’s west coast
Platges de Comte, or Cala Conta, occupies a low headland on Ibiza’s west coast. The three connected beach sections add up to about 800 metres. Two are sandy; the third is rockier and is used by naturists.
The shoreline faces west, with small islands rising from the water offshore. Illa des Bosc is among them. A viewpoint above the beach looks along the coast between Cala Bassa and Platges de Comte, with the Illots de Ponent Natural Reserve also visible.
Swimming and sunset
The water is clear and shallow near shore, with calm conditions described at the beach. The coves’ varying shades of blue and the offshore islands make the setting part of the visit, whether you come to swim or stay on the sand.
Platges de Comte is especially popular in the late afternoon, when people gather to watch the sun sink into the Mediterranean. Sunset Ashram is a bar and restaurant beside the beach with views over the water. Other beachside restaurants are also available.
