Cala Vedella is an area of pure, rugged beauty. The cove is enclosed by cliffs,
making for a sheltered day at the beach. There is plenty to do here for all the
family. Watersports are abundant in the form of pedalloes, the banana boat and more
than one diving school. Facing almost directly west, you can enjoy an astonishing
sunset with your evening drinks.
Accommodation is mostly in the shape of apartments, and no enormous hotels blight
the natural beauty of the bay. About twenty minutes from either Ibiza Town or San
Antonio, Cala Vedella is reached through some twisty, winding back roads, most of
which have seen better days. Mostly due to this, the cars and buses that do visit
tend to proceed through the town with a regal grace. It is impossible to speed here,
so there's little danger crossing the road, no matter how young your charges.
The beach itself is just under 300 metres long, and is composed of beautifully fine
sand. There are sunbeds and umbrellas for hire and, there being little in the way
of natural cover, the only other option is to bring your own.The bay is shaped somewhat
like a lobster's claw, making for peaceful, sheltered swimming and water-play. Due
to its shape, it also makes a good natural harbour for boats, and a fair few do
visit here. Note also the tiny fishermen's huts to the left of the beach - a sight
you won't find at any of the huge, tourist beaches around Ibiza.
Further back from the sands, the beach is lined with some terrific restaurants,
selling typically fresh fish and other local dishes. They are open all day, for
food and drink, so feel free to treat the restaurants like bars if all you fancy
is liquid refreshment.
