Caló des Moro

Introduction

Welcome to a magical corner of the Ibizan coast, where the sun bids farewell each afternoon with a breathtaking spectacle of colours. We're talking about Caló des Moro, a small hidden gem in the vibrant municipality of San Antonio de Portmany, on the fascinating island of Ibiza. This cove, though modest in size, is huge in charm and reputation, attracting visitors from all over the world seeking the perfect combination of calm waters, soft sand and, of course, the perfect postcard of a Mediterranean sunset. From the moment we first set foot on its fine golden sand and gazed upon the transparency of its turquoise waters, we knew we were in a special place. Caló des Moro is not just a beach; it's an experience that dispels worries with the sea breeze. For us, it's an essential destination if you're visiting the island, whether as a couple, with friends or with family, thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and its incomparable scenic beauty.

How to get to Caló des Moro

Getting to Caló des Moro beach is relatively straightforward, given its proximity to the centre of San Antonio. We, as good explorers, have tried several options and share them with you. The cove is a short distance from San Antonio's famous promenade.

By car

If you opt for a rental car, head west from San Antonio. You'll find parking areas in the streets surrounding the beach. It's important to consider that during the high season (July and August), these spaces can be in high demand, so we recommend arriving early. Patience is key, but the reward is worth it.

On foot from San Antonio

For those staying in San Antonio, one of the most pleasant ways to get to Caló des Moro is by taking a walk. From the port or the town centre, follow the promenade north. The walk takes approximately 15-20 minutes. It's a very pleasant stroll, with sea views and the chance to discover other small spots.

By public transport

Some bus lines connect San Antonio with other areas of the island and have stops relatively close to Caló des Moro. We advise you to check the updated timetables and routes of the local bus lines. It's an economical and sustainable option to get to the beach without worrying about parking.

The sand and the water

The experience at Caló des Moro is intrinsically linked to the quality of its sand and the purity of its waters. When we talk about this cove, we are describing a miniature paradise where nature has taken great care to create an idyllic setting. We, who have visited many Balearic beaches, can affirm that the combination of these elements here is truly exceptional.

The sand: a velvet blanket

The sand of Caló des Moro is certainly one of its greatest attractions. It is fine and soft sand, with a light golden tone that shines under the Mediterranean sun. Walking barefoot on it, you'll feel a pleasant sensation. It's perfect for lying down, for children to play building sandcastles, or simply to relax and let time pass slowly.

The water: liquid crystal

But if the sand is a delight, the water of Caló des Moro is a true wonder. Its waters are famous for being exceptionally crystal-clear and of an intense turquoise colour that invites you for a swim the moment you see them. The clarity is such that, even without diving goggles, you can easily see the seabed. Furthermore, the cove is quite sheltered, which means the waves are usually very gentle or non-existent, turning it into a natural swimming pool. This characteristic makes it ideal for:

• Swimmers of all ages.
• Families with young children, who can safely enjoy its shallow waters.
• Snorkelling enthusiasts, who will find a small underwater ecosystem to explore.

Services and facilities

Although Caló des Moro is a small cove, its popularity and proximity to San Antonio have led to it having a series of services and facilities that make visitors' stay much more comfortable and pleasant. We highly value finding amenities at the beach, and here, despite its more natural atmosphere, we don't feel neglected.

Chiringuitos and dining

One of the strong points of Caló des Moro are its famous chiringuitos. They are the ideal place to enjoy a refreshing drink, an ice cream or a light snack while gazing at the sea or the sunset. The background music is usually relaxed and contributes to that bohemian and chic atmosphere that is so appealing.

Sun umbrellas and sun loungers

For those who prefer not to carry their own beach gear, Caló des Moro offers the possibility of renting sun umbrellas and sun loungers. It's a convenience we greatly appreciate, especially on days of intense sun. We recommend arriving in good time to secure your spot, especially during the high season.

Lifeguard and safety

Beach safety is paramount, and at Caló des Moro it's taken seriously. During the high season, the beach has a lifeguard service, which provides additional peace of mind, especially for families with children. It's important to follow their instructions and the flags that signal the sea conditions.

Showers

After a refreshing swim in the sea, it's always nice to rinse off the salt. Caló des Moro has public showers, a basic but highly valued service by visitors. Being able to rinse off the sand and salt before returning to the hotel or continuing with other activities is a great co
