Ibiza's Beloved Es Bol Nou Beach Set for Potential Comeback Next Year

A favourite spot among Ibiza lovers, Es Bol Nou (or Sa Caleta) remains off-limits since the cliffs surrounding it posed safety risks due to potential rockfalls. Initially shuttered back in April 2025, hopes of reopening this summer have been dashed as the local authorities confirm that a reopening is only anticipated next year. Despite the lengthy closure, last year saw some daring visitors breaching the prohibition during peak tourist season, leading to evacuations. The nearby Sa Caleta restaurant, seeing a stark 42% drop in visitors last year, navigates a challenging yet loyal clientele. Thoughts are now forward-looking, with the expectation that comprehensive safety measures will see Es Bol Nou welcoming its beachgoers once more next year.
