Ibiza's Best Sunrise Spots
Ibiza is famed for its sunsets, but the island’s sunrises are equally breathtaking!
If you’re an early-bird that loves to watch the day begin on our magical island, here are six of the best spots to catch the sunrise in Ibiza.
1. Punta des Moscarter
Located in the northern part of the island near Portinatx, Punta des Moscarter is home to the tallest lighthouse in the Balearic Islands. The rugged coastline and the dramatic cliffs make it a perfect spot for sunrise. As the sun rises, its rays illuminate the lighthouse and the surrounding area, creating a stunning view. If you’re lucky enough to visit the north of the island on a very clear day, then you might be lucky enough to see the coastline of Mallorca in the distance!
2. Playa d’en Bossa
Playa d’en Bossa, one of Ibiza’s most famous beaches, is not only known for its lively nightlife but also for its beautiful sunrises. The long stretch of sandy beach offers plenty of space to find a quiet spot and enjoy the early morning light in the height of summer.
3. Cala Nova
Cala Nova is a beautiful beach located on the eastern coast of the island. Known for its clear waters and natural beauty with surrounding pine trees, it’s an ideal spot for an early morning visit. The beach’s orientation makes it perfect for watching the sunrise and we can guarantee that the beach will be nice and quiet in the first few hours of the day - allowing you to enjoy sunrise in peace.
4. Santa Eulalia
The promenade in Santa Eulalia offers a picturesque spot for sunrise viewing. This charming coastal town provides a perfect blend of natural beauty and convenience, with cafes and restaurants along the seafront. The rising sun casts a beautiful light across the town’s sandy beaches, it’s marina and the busy town as it comes to life for the day.
5. Es Canar
Es Canar, a small resort town on the eastern coast, is known for its relaxed family atmosphere. The main beach is perfect for a bit of sunrise watching - we recommend a walk along the coastline towards Aiyanna to capture the full experience. The early morning light creates a peaceful and serene environment, ideal for a quiet moment of reflection. The nearby Punta Arabí Hippy Market adds a touch of local culture, making it a unique spot to start your day.
6. Talamanca Beach
Talamanca Beach, located near Ibiza Town, is another excellent spot for watching the sunrise. The long, curved beach offers a panoramic view of the horizon, and the calm, shallow waters are ideal for a morning dip! There are lots of cafes and restaurants along the promenade, or bakeries in the strees just behind, some opening early enough to grab a coffee to start your day.
Witnessing the sunrise in Ibiza is a wonderful way to experience the island’s natural beauty. We’ve given you some of the best spots - now all you need to do is decide which one to head to!
