Ibiza Family Photos – The best places on the island for amazing photography.

Ibiza is great for families!

Family holidays may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Ibiza, associated as it is for so long with parties and clubbing. The amazing parties will still happen, but family tourism is fast becoming Ibiza’s biggest market. Our family visitors are often seasoned hands who were once here as teenaged clubbers. People who came so many times that now they have their own children, they just have to introduce them to its magic. Or there are the first timers, a little nervous maybe, wondering what Ibiza is really all about. Either way, no matter who you are, once you’ve been here you’ll know that Ibiza is for everyone and everyone ends up loving Ibiza!

Ibiza is perfect for family photography! 

My most heard comment from first-time visitors & families is that they didn’t realise how beautiful Ibiza would be. I love hearing this! I also get asked a lot about where to go, which beaches are the best and what parts of the island are worth a visit. So this is my guide to the best places for family days out and for taking amazing photos. 

My Favourite Places in Ibiza for Perfect Family Photos…

If you know Ibiza then chances are you already know (and love) Cala Conta. Needing no introduction this beautiful cove & sunset mecca is the sandy jewel in Ibiza’s crown. The beautiful beach and impossibly turquoise waters are amongst the best in the world.
Early morning ferry boats glide into the tiny harbour throughout the day from San Antonio which is by far the best way to arrive. Residents and and repeat visitors will all tell you that Cala Conta can not be missed, and I can definitely confirm it’s one of the most gorgeous places for family photos.

It’s easy to get to and has plenty to stay for. Port des Torrent beach is a great day out for families staying in San An Bay. I love this pretty cove for photography, especially with families. The sea is a gorgeous turquoise, the beach a perfect backdrop and the pine clad rocks to the side of the provide a great shady spot for portraits and group shots.
Did I mention the sunset? Swerve those crowds found in other places and take a short stroll along the coastline for uninterrupted views.

The only place on the list that’s not a beach, pretty Santa Agnes can be found just a short drive out of San Antonio and makes for the perfect day trip. The village itself is teeny tiny sporting only a church and a couple of bars. One of these bars however, (Bar Cosmi) just happens to serve up one of best Spanish tortillas ever, so make sure you’re here for lunch!
This is the home of some of Ibiza’s most accesible and beautiful countryside, the perfect combination for great family photos. A small road winds around the local area and provides endless photo opportunities. There are lovely examples of traditional white washed houses, small farms, hundreds of almond trees and amazing views around every curve.

Benirras Beach is right up there with Cala Conta for amazing sunsets. It’s a little further away located in the San Miguel area and is a lovely drive if you have hired a car. If you don’t fancy this don’t worry, it also makes a great boat trip from San Antonio.
This beach has become famous for the Sunday hippy drumming sessions but also includes a cute little artisan market and some excellent restaurants. Personally I love this area for family photos and small ceremonies and the sunset never disappoints!

No Ibiza list is complete without Cala D’hort. It’s one of those places that you have to visit and never forget. Thanks to the spectacular scenery and Es Vedra looming large in the foreground, this is an amazing place for photography all year round.
The beach has a great mix of soft sand and rocky outcrops, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Whilst off to both sides are fisherman’s huts, pretty piers and endless corners for cute photos. Personally my summer would not be complete without doing at least one shoot here!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you enjoyed reading about where to go for your own perfect Ibiza Family Photos. Keep scrolling to see how you can organise your own relaxed shoot and what’s included Or you can read more on the Blog! 

My Ibiza Photoshoot Favourite in the North.

Ibiza may be a tiny island, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in beaches. After living here for over 20 years I’m very happy to know almost every cliff and beautiful cove the island has to offer.  There’s something perfect for everyone, couples, families or intimate elopements and small wedding ceremonies. Ibiza is perfect for any photoshoot and can guarantee a perfect backdrop for any special moment.

Ibiza Photoshoot favourite: Cala Benirras.

Where:
On the northern coast of Ibiza. Cala Benirras is in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja, and is 4.6 miles (7.4 km) east of the village itself and 4.6 miles (7.4 km) north north east of the village of Sant Miquel de Balansat.

Why:

Cala Benirras is a large sweeping cove of soft sandy beach and crystal clear waters. A firm favourite with Ibiza’s famous hippies, the beach has been well known for its high energy drumming fest every Sunday. This is a must see for anyone interested in the more spiritual/bohemian side of things. Or for those just looking for some great photos! There’s also a really nice market selling artisan clothes, bags, jewellery and all things beach. It’s really cool and makes a refreshing change from the usual tat found in the shops and more commercial markets.

Families. I love family photography here. The beach is beautiful and safe, there’s nothing to fall off or into (top priority!) and there’s lots of lovely little corners to explore. 

Couples. The in-love amongst us will go nuts for the sheer amount of romantic spots Cala Benirras has to offer. The classic walk along the beach looks incredible at sunset and the cozy fisherman’s huts are perfect for those softer shots. 

Ceremonies. I hadn’t shot a small ceremony here until last summer, now I’m so glad that I did! We met at the beach and managed to find our way up onto a fisherman’s hut roof right as the sun went down. The atmosphere was so perfect and the colours so lovely. I can’t wait to come back for another wedding here.

Did you know…. On Sunday August 18, 1991 a gathering of anti-war activists, hippies and other sympathisers, took place on the beach at Benirrás. This event is now known as The Day of the Drums. The gathering was in protest at the first Gulf War in Iraq. The protest later evolved into an annual event up until 2002.
