Ses Salines

South Ibiza


Just south of Ibiza's airport, the shimmering pools of the salines (salt pans) were the island's main source of wealth until the tourism boom. Approaching Platja de Ses Salines and Es Cavallet, you drive right across the salt flats' main body – an unforgettable experience. Salt is still harvested here for export; you'll see it piled up by the road.
