Guide to Cala Llonga

'Sun-soaked days on soft sands, dramatic views and quiet nights – Cala Llonga on Ibiza's east coast is a dream for serious beach relaxation.'

Cradled by pine-dusted hillsides, Cala Llonga does quiet holidays like Ibiza does sunny ones – very well indeed. So if you're hunting for a holiday hideout where beach lazing is everyone's top priority, it's right on the money.
OK, the sheer beauty of the location makes it a mecca for sunbathers and water babies of all ages. But perhaps because it's so stop-dead-in-your tracks awesome, there's little else to do by chill on the sands taking it all in, bit by bit.
Cupped into a long, blue-skied bay and overlooked by gleaming white hotels, the sands are talcum-soft and the waters as calm and clear as a gentle mountain spring. Brightly coloured pedalos skim the soft waves, whilst kids play happily in the shallows and wooden beach playground. Grown-ups let the hours idle by, laid flat out on sunbeds. And all around, forested hills whipped into soft peaks provide a stunning natural frame to the scene.
Away from the sands, the resort's compact centre beckons with a mini-funfair and plentiful restaurants and cafes, many serving delicious views alongside local specialities, tapas treats and British favourites.
Why not lunch on guisat de marisc, a succulent seafood stew, accompanying it with chilled wine? By night the atmosphere remains easy-going, with most people enjoying hotel entertainment or the handful of friendly bars and discos.
For a bigger range of shops and exuberant nightlife, take a trip to nearby Ibiza Town, one of the Med's industrial-strength clubbing centres. Or set sail for Santa Eulalia to people watch beside its exclusive marina and dine in some of Ibiza's finest restaurants. Let's face it – what more could you want from this sunny, seductive island?
