Benirras Beach

Benirrás Beach: Ibiza’s Hidden Gem

Just a four-minute walk from Villa Roca and the Pagoda Garden, along a private path, lies one of Ibiza’s most iconic beaches: Benirrás. Steeped in local history and known for hosting some of the world’s most luxurious superyachts, this bay is a favorite among discerning travelers and yacht-goers, who often frequent the charming beachfront restaurants.

Benirrás is the only bay on the island designated as a nature reserve, which means there are no hotels—only unspoiled natural beauty. In fact, Villa Roca, Pagoda Garden, and Villa Nova are among fewer than a dozen exclusive villas nestled within this serene enclave.

Located in the tranquil north of the island—an area rich in ley lines and spiritual energy—Benirrás is famous for its spectacular sunsets. As the sun dips behind the horizon, it frames the rock formation known as The King of Benirrás, which rises majestically from the crystalline waters.

A Unique Cultural Vibe

Though the full-moon beach festival of the past no longer exists in its original form, each Sunday evening, a vibrant gathering takes place: musicians, drummers, and guitarists perform live, unplugged sets as the sunset builds into a soulful crescendo. Fire dancers, sand sculptors, and artisan stalls add to the magic of this weekly ritual.
