The beach has three typical Spanish restaurants and a snack bar famous for its sandwiches.

BENIRRAS, Ibiza


Where? On the northwest coast of Ibiza.

Why? This is a perfect slice of creamy sand, shielded from the sea by a natural harbour and from the land by steep, forested hills. In the 1960s, Benirras was said to be a venue for debauched, drug-fuelled orgies; today it attracts a sophisticated young crowd, mainly Spaniards, Italians and Scandinavians.

Where to stay: the surrounding area is protected from development, so there are no hotels. The handful of villas within walking distance including Villa Palmas (00 44 20 7419 0999) www.ibizayoga.com where prices start at £3,000 per week for the whole property which sleeps up to ten.

Where to eat: there are three friendly and inexpensive restaurants bang on the beach, open for lunch and dinner.

Don’t miss: the sunsets. As the sun sidles into the sea, framed by tall rocks, bongo-playing hippies provide musical accompaniment. The best of the action tends to happen on Sundays.

Getting there: EasyJet (0870 600 0000, www.easyjet.com) flies to Ibiza; from £75. From Ibiza town, follow signs to Sant Joan, then to Benirras.
