On Ibiza?s east coast lies Cala Llonga, tucked between the steep banks of pine-covered hillsides and only 15km northeast of Ibiza Town. Cala Llonga is definitely the spot for a quiet holiday - nightlife is limited to some bars and restaurants run by friendly British residents, while days can be spent relaxing on the golden sands of the cove.
Cala Llonga has a beautiful sheltered bay, boasting a splendid, gently shelving sweep of golden sand, making it perfect for relaxing. Spend your days lounging on the sunbeds and adopting the true Mediterranean lifestyle. There is also a variety of watersports on offer.
Those interested in shopping will be pleased to know that Ibiza has a long tradition of potters and a shorter one of jewellers who came to the island in its artists' colony days. If you want something a little more ethnic, then try the famous hippy market in nearby Es Cana. For the more serious shopper there is Ibiza Town, which is well worth a visit, and boasts a large variety of shops.
Try the local liqueur 'hierbas' as you relax in one of the bars or restaurants, some of which are run by friendly British residents. There are a few discos on offer locally but for a livelier night out visit the nearby, ultra-glamorous Ibiza Town.
There's a selection of bars, cafes and restaurants in Cala Llonga. Fish, inevitably, features on most menus and the locals use it to make some tasty stews. Cinnamon and cloves are used in a number of dishes, not least the highly sweetened desserts. The drinks native to the island are made from herbs and aniseed.
