Ibiza · West coast

Cala Comte

Three small coves linked by a pine-shaded path — the cleanest snorkel water on the west coast, looking out over the islets of Bosc and Conillera.

ala Comte is the cove that, on a calm day, has the cleanest water in the west of Ibiza. Three small turquoise coves sit at the base of low cliffs; offshore the islets of Bosc and Conillera form the western horizon. The boat anchors halfway between the cliffs and the islets, in transparent water over a sand bottom. Snorkellers are in the water within ninety seconds of arrival.

Late afternoon is the moment. The Sunset Ashram on the headland fills with the sundown crowd by 18:30; from a yacht anchored five hundred metres offshore, you have the same view without the noise. The chef serves dinner on the aft deck as the sun drops behind Conillera.

Questions we hear

Cala Comte — answered.

Is Cala Comte good for snorkelling?+

Yes — particularly around the islet of Es Bosc. We bring snorkelling kit in adult and children's sizes; the bosun supervises if guests are unfamiliar with deep-water snorkelling. Best visibility is mid-morning before the wind picks up.

When is the best time for the Cala Comte sundown?+

From a yacht anchored offshore, the sun drops behind the islet of Conillera between 20:30 and 21:00 in summer. The chef typically serves dinner starting 19:30 so you're at the table for the colour change.
