Cala Escondida Makes a Splash at Platja d’en Bossa

UK tourists heading to Ibiza have something new to look forward to on the vibrant shores of Platja d’en Bossa. Chiringuito Cala Escondida is setting up shop in this bustling part of the island after being unable to renew its previous spot at es Racó d’en Xic in Platges de Comte. The move comes as the Sant Josep council awarded the kiosk space to Cala Escondida after previous bidding rounds found no takers. This development is sure to be popular among sun-seekers frequenting the end of Platja d’en Bossa near the historic tower des Carregador de Sal. The concession comes at an annual cost of €38,750, a key investment in maintaining the seaside charm that Ibiza's visitors come back for year after year. As anticipation builds, Cala Escondida has been sharing updates on social media, preparing for its much-anticipated reopening later this week.
