Where to See the Sunrise in Ibiza?

If you’re looking for a magical spot to catch the sunrise in Ibiza, Cala Llonga is your answer.

This picturesque bay, tucked away on the island’s eastern coast, offers an unforgettable experience as the sun slowly rises over the horizon. Here's why Cala Llonga should be at the top of your sunrise viewing list.

What makes Cala Llonga the best place to see the sunrise in Ibiza?

Cala Llonga is not just another beautiful beach; it's tucked away, almost empty at sunrise (just dog walkers around), and if you are up for it, you can also do a longer hike immediately after the sun rises.

Best Spots to Watch the Sunrise

On the beach: Arrive early and find a cozy spot on the soft sand, a peaceful way to start the day. Now make yourself comfortable and enjoy the views, warm wind blowing in your hair, and the sound of the waves.

On the cliffs: For a more elevated view, head to the nearby cliffs. A short hike will reward you with panoramic views of the bay, making the sunrise even more spectacular.

After the sunrise you can stop at one of the local caffe shops to grab a delicios coffee and pastry. I love the honey croissant from Can Pa de Cala Llonga, and she always has something fresh for you.

Tips for Your Sunrise in Cala Llonga

Don't wait until the last minute: aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before sunrise. This gives you time to settle in and soak in the tranquil atmosphere, plus the colours start way earlier.

Check the sunrise time: Be sure to check the local sunrise times, as they can vary throughout the year. This way, you won’t miss the magical moment.

Bring a camera and a beach towel & some water: The colours of the sunrise are breathtaking, so don’t forget your camera. After the sunrise go up the steps (left from the beach) for a better view of the beach, and after going up all those stairs you will know why I mentioned the water.

Cala Llonga is a hidden gem for sunrise lovers in Ibiza. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, experiencing the dawn here is a must. So set your alarm, grab your favorite blanket, and get ready for a beautiful morning at one of the island’s most stunning spots. Enjoy the peace, the beauty, and the views!
