It is also a very artsy spot. Ibiza is a hippy haven and Benirras hoasts a famous drum circle on Sundays at sunset. And it is the sunset that is the biggest draw of Benirras. 

There are also several small shacks that serve food and drinks if you start to get peckish. 

ses salines beach

Ses Salines – a great mix of relaxation and party vibes

This wonderful beach is located in the Les Salines natural park. Las Salines is a collection of salt flats and marshes, so it is safe to say de the surrounding area is gorgeous.
