Back over on the main beach at Las Salinas, there’s still more to see and do. In the Las Salinas car park there is fantastic shopping to be done at Hecho a Mano (“I recommend everyone stock up on their handmade leather sandals and wallets,” confides Electra) and right at the south end of the beach right next to the salt mills, La Nave is the grand art space at the northern tip of the beach. Owned by Brazilian art collector Lio Malca, La Nave showcases Malca’s collections by a renowned featured artist every season (including Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf in recent years) plus hosts cool art workshops for kids – our team can book your little ones a place. There’s also a small sailing school and if you’re looking for an eco-friendly day out on a boat, La Belle Ibiza boasts a fleet of ‘green’ catamarans that leave from the end of the beach (again, we can take care of all the details), and finally, Fred's Finca – located in the Las Salinas hills just before the Es Cavallet turnoff – offers daily yoga classes and a healthy restaurant.
Sunset is as magic in the south as it is in the west – watching it reflected in the salt flats is a sight you’ll never forget. “The best sunset viewing point in the area is without a doubt Experimental Beach Ibiza,” says Ed. “You drive along a rocky, winding pathway through the salt flats, past a mountain of Ibiza salt and are rewarded with one of the most magical views (not to mention restaurants) on the island.” Popular with the jet-set, you’ll need to book ahead (or let us do it for you) in high summer, and the views of Es Vedra in the distance are definitely worth it. As you drive out of Las Salinas, Peruvian fine dining restaurant Coricancha is one of the last destinations you pass on the right, boasting a second floor terrace with uninterrupted sunset views over the salt and beyond – with incredible cocktails and some of the island’s finest food, it’s well worth making a visit to. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the flamingos that roost in the shallow salty waters when you’re there – just like magic, they do exist!
