Cala San Vicente:coastal haven in the north

Ibiza is an island of plenty. From its beautiful beaches and colourful history to its pine-fringed landscapes and bustling towns, it’s the perfect slice of Balearic island life. That’s why people gravitate here from all over the world in search of property to buy or rent. In fact, there are few destinations as sought after as the white isle anywhere else in Spain (or the globe for that matter), and that means that competition for the best properties is rife.

Fortunately, at GHL Ibiza we’re resident island experts, on hand to offer reliable advice on everything from plot size and apartments close to the beach to detached villas and townhouses at the heart of all the action. We have the right property for sale, we will find your dream villa!

One area that we frequently field questions on is the stunning village of Cala San Vicente. Tucked up on Ibiza’s northern coast, this crescent shaped beach is a holiday must-visit but it’s a fabulous home location too. Not dissimilar to a resort town in many respects, Cala San Vicente is a crescent shaped beach of fine golden sand that’s backed by a string of hotels, bars and restaurants and surrounded by lime-tinted pine trees. The waters here are clear, calm and shimmering azure, and in peak season – when the beach is at its busiest – multi-coloured parasols line the shore.

Cala San Vicente has all the appeal of a holiday destination while remaining well connected to the pulse of white isle life. Located just a 10-minute drive from the charming village of Sant Juan de Labritja, a dose of traditional daily activities are always close at hand. Many head to San Juan (its name in Spanish) to while away a few hours drinking coffee or grabbing a leisurely lunch, while others make a beeline for the weekly market. Taking place every Sunday, it’s a great place to spend a sunny afternoon, sampling freshly made paella, admiring Ibizan produced crafts and stocking up on the week’s supply of fresh fruit and vegetables. We have villas overlooking the sea for sale in this area! Also very often we have off market properties overlooking the Cala of San Vicente on our books for a discreet sale.

A clutch of local hotspots are also nearby. Drive south for 15 minutes and eventually you reach Santa Eularia (or Santa Eulalia / Santa Eulalia del Rio in Spanish), another resort town that boasts a delightful beach of its own as well as even more bars, restaurants and shops. Much larger in scale than Cala San Vicente, this is one of the east coast’s busiest areas, so there are plenty of supermarkets, schools and transport links if you don’t have a car. Elsewhere, and the central village of Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera is around 20 minutes away by car; San José is 50 minutes away by car and Sant Mateu is also a 20-minute drive away.

Back in Cala San Vicente, and there’s a vast array of properties to choose from, whether you’re buying or renting. Fincas – traditional Mediterranean villas – are in high demand, as are detached properties with plenty of bedrooms. Semi-detached apartments with sea views are beloved, and building plots are often requested so that clients can start their own property projects from scratch if what they’re looking for isn’t available for sale. At GHL, we’re able to advise on all of these requests, using our knowledge built up over decades to ensure our clients’ needs are always met and exceeded.
It is no surprise that the Balearic way of life has become so popular, particularly given the world events of the past few years. People want a slower, more relaxed way of life, and in Spain (especially Ibiza) it’s simply easier to achieve that goal.

No wonder then, that Cala San Vicente has soared into people’s consciousness. A way to inject that inimitable Ibiza spirit into their lives, Cala San Vicente is a stunning coastal location with unbeatable sea views that’s both remote and well connected at the same time. Buying or renting property here can seem overwhelming, but with the right estate agent on hand, that process becomes seamless. Let us at GHL Ibiza help you find the apartment, villa or plot that already exists in your mind and turn it into a reality. If Cala San Vicente is the dream, let’s make it happen!
