1. Cala Comte (Platges de Comte)
Turquoise west-coast coves
Accessibility: Easy
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Sunset
Duration: 60 min | 2 hours
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Couples / Sunset / Beach
Platges de Comte is a string of small sandy coves and low rock shelves on Ibiza's west coast. The water shifts from pale turquoise over the sandbars to deep blue further out, with the islets of s'Illa des Bosc and Conillera offshore. Facing straight west, it is one of the island's best-known places to watch the sun go down.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: Sunset brings a crowd onto the rocks above the beach, so we arrive early and set up on the low sandstone ledges between the coves, with the islets behind you. Before sunset, the shallow sandbar gives that see-through water look in close shots. Wear water shoes on the rocks, and expect the parking to fill quickly in July and August.

2. Es Vedrà
Legendary rock island
Accessibility: Moderate
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Sunset
Duration: 60 min | 2 hours
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Couples / Sunset
Es Vedrà is a limestone islet that shoots up out of the sea off the southwest coast, wrapped in local legends about sirens and strange magnetic pulls. It is part of the Cala d'Hort natural park, and landing on it is forbidden. Seen at sunset with its little sister Es Vedranell beside it, it is the island's most recognizable silhouette.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: Some clifftop viewpoints have been closed in recent years, so we check access before every shoot. Since spring 2026 marked trails lead from the road to Torre des Savinar and nearby lookouts, and we stay on them, well back from the edge. Cala d'Hort beach gives an easier, sea-level angle. It is often windy on top, so tie long hair back and bring a layer.

3. Cala Salada & Cala Saladeta
Twin coves near Sant Antoni
Accessibility: Moderate
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Morning
Duration: 60 min | 2 hours
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Beach / Couples
Two neighboring coves north of Sant Antoni, tucked under pine-covered cliffs. Cala Salada has a sandy beach, old fishermen's boat shelters and a small restaurant, while Cala Saladeta is a short scramble over the rocks and smaller still. The water is so clear that you can see the seabed from the cliffs above.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: In high season the access road is closed to most cars during the day, so we come by taxi, take the shuttle bus from Sant Antoni or arrive before the closure starts. Saladeta's access is sometimes capped when it is full. The rocks between the two coves give a high angle down onto the turquoise water, and morning light keeps the cliffs soft.

4. Cala d'Hort
Beach facing Es Vedrà
Accessibility: Easy
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Sunset
Duration: 60 min | 2 hours
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Couples / Sunset / Beach
This small southwest beach of coarse sand and pebbles looks straight across the water at Es Vedrà, which makes it the easiest place to get the rock into your photos from sea level. A few family-run restaurants sit just above the shore, and the hills around it belong to the Cala d'Hort natural park.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: Come in the late afternoon and use the proper car parks: drivers have been fined heavily for leaving cars along the access road. We shoot from the rocks at the edge of the beach so Es Vedrà sits over your shoulder, then move to the water as the sky turns orange. The pebbles are hard on bare feet, so pack sandals for between shots.

5. Dalt Vila (Old Town Ibiza)
Walled UNESCO old town
Accessibility: Moderate
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Morning / Sunset
Duration: 60 min | 2 hours | 3 hours
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Couples / History
Ibiza's upper town sits inside Renaissance walls built in the 16th century, with cobbled lanes winding up to the cathedral. Since 1999 it has been part of a UNESCO World Heritage site that also covers the island's seagrass meadows. From the bastions you look over the port, the ferries to Formentera and the open sea.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: We enter through the Portal de ses Taules, the main gate with its ramp and stone statues, then climb slowly through the lanes, stopping at the bastions. The Baluard de Santa Llúcia has a wide terrace with a clear view of the cathedral above. The streets are steep and polished, so flat shoes with grip help, and we time the top for late light.

6. Iglesia de Santo Domingo
Baroque church of 'Es Convent'
Accessibility: Moderate
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Morning / Evening
Duration: 30 min | 60 min
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Architecture / Couples
Locals call it Es Convent: the church of the old Dominican monastery, begun in 1592 and only finished more than a century later. The convent buildings now hold Ibiza's town hall on Plaça d'Espanya, and the church, the second largest on the island, keeps a Baroque altarpiece carved in Genoa. Its domes stand out on the Dalt Vila skyline.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: The square in front of the town hall is open and much quieter than the lanes below, with the old convent walls and the church domes behind you. We use the stone arches and low walls for seated shots. The church opens for limited hours, mostly around services, so we shoot the outside and only step in when it is open, with shoulders covered.

7. Catedral de Santa Maria
Hilltop cathedral of Dalt Vila
Accessibility: Moderate
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Late afternoon
Duration: 30 min | 60 min
Entry: Free / Paid areas
Ideal for: Couples / Views / History
Built after the Catalan conquest of 1235 on the site of a mosque, the cathedral crowns the highest point of Dalt Vila. The Gothic bell tower survived an 18th-century Baroque makeover of the interior. From the square in front, you look out over rooftops and the harbor, and on clear days all the way to Formentera.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: The terraces around the cathedral overlook the port and the old town, and they are softest in the morning and late afternoon. We like the stone parapet for leaning poses with the sea behind you. Inside, cover shoulders and keep quiet, and we don't shoot during Mass. The climb from the main gate is steady, so take it slow and save energy for the photos.

8. Las Salinas (Salt Flats)
Salt pans in a natural park
Accessibility: Easy
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Sunset
Duration: 60 min | 2 hours
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Couples / Landscapes
In the south of the island, the Ses Salines natural park mixes working salt pans, dunes, juniper woods and beaches. In summer the pans turn pink from tiny crustaceans, which also feed the flamingos that live here all year. Salt is still harvested, and the flat, still water makes a giant mirror at the end of the day.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: Sunset reflections on the pans are the reason we come; we shoot from the roadside tracks near Sant Francesc and stay off the pans themselves, which are protected working land. Flamingos need a long lens and some patience, so we treat them as a bonus. There is almost no shade out here, so bring water and come in the last hours of the day.

9. Atlantis (Sa Pedrera)
Old quarry with sea pools
Accessibility: Challenging
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Morning
Duration: 60 min | 2 hours | 3 hours
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Adventure / Couples
Sa Pedrera is an old sandstone quarry on the coast near Cala d'Hort. Centuries of stone cutting left square pools, steps and terraces right at sea level, and visitors over the decades carved faces and symbols into the rock, which earned it the nickname Atlantis. The clear green pools look unreal in photos.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: This is a real hike: the path from near Torre des Savinar drops steeply over loose rock, and rescuers are called out here regularly. Since 2026 the route is signposted, and we only go with clients who are fit and wear proper shoes, with outfits packed in a backpack. Skip it in rough seas, and leave time and water for the hot climb back up.

10. Cala Xarraca
Quiet bay on the north coast
Accessibility: Moderate
Popularity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best time: Late afternoon
Duration: 60 min | 2 hours
Entry: Free
Ideal for: Couples / Calm water
Cala Xarraca is a wide bay near Portinatx in the north, framed by green hills and pine-covered cliffs. The small pebbly beach is calmer than the southern coves, and the water is clear enough that snorkelers come to swim over the seagrass meadows. In one corner of the bay there is a patch of natural mud that people smear on their skin.
📍 Wowtographer Tip: We like the rocky edges of the bay for low angles with the hills behind you, and the evening light skimming across the water. The steep road down has a small free car park that fills up in summer, so arrive before the crowd. Water shoes help on the pebbles. The mud corner on the left side of the bay makes fun candid shots if you don't mind getting messy.
