PLATGES DE COMTE
Platges de Comte, also incorrectly known as Cala Comte or Cala Conta, enjoys wonderful views at sunset. It consists of several coves of white sand, bathed by turquoise waters from which the islands of Es Bosc, Sa Conillera, Ses Bledes and S’Espartar can be seen. For this reason, it is usually quite popular, although its visit is essential, since it is considered one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, according to various rankings of Internet users and travel magazines.
You can get there by car, bus or ferry during the summer. Ferries depart regularly from the San Antonio port and from various hotels throughout the San Antonio Bay. The bus can be caught at the San Antonio station or from various stops on the bay road. Sadly, you can no longer park directly on the beach, access is closed by a barrier, but there is a large space for parking on the left before the barrier. Parking alongside the road is forbidden, although many cars do but we should tell you that police control in that area is pretty strict and issues fines very regularly.
Platges de Comte has two coves, at the beginning of the parking lot there is another small cove, with a wide area of sand and several boathouses, known as Es Racó d'en Xic. On the other side, coast to coast towards Sant Antoni, and between the restaurants S’Illa des Bosc and Ses Roques, is a low area of rocks where people go to enjoy the water. Next to Ses Roques you will also find the pier cove, another idyllic enclave, and then Ses Roques Males, a seaside corner of boathouses and with a cliff drilled in the shape of a cave, where you can bathe in the shade on sandy bottoms.

Sunset Ashram is not only located in one of the most spectacular beaches of Ibiza, but it also is built with materials that simulate the sand of the sea, which blends perfectly with the surrounding environment, dotted with islets, turquoise water and nature everywhere. The music is in charge by a DJ and every day and every night the music is on, there is a non-stop party mood.
The restaurant's menu is very varied and is very curious but they have a recommendation to eat for day or night, in order to adapt to what the body asks each hour. You can choose between quick dishes for a light meal, fresh salads that are super appetizing after a long day at the beach or heavier dishes of meat and fish made with dedication and the best ingredients. Its professionals play in the kitchen with the fundamentals of Mediterranean and Indian gastronomy, adding another challenge: sushi.
