The resort is reached along the designated roads EI-321 east from Sant Joan de Labritja, and on the EI-200 north from Santa Eulària des Riu.

[1] The resort is 3.0 kilometres (1.9 mi) along a valley, east of the small community of Sant Vicent de sa Cala.

[2] The bay is enclosed by steep cliffs to the south and the Sa Talaia which at its peak is 303 meters[2] above sea level.

The small cave system was an important place and lay at the heart of Punic religious life more than two thousand years ago.

[3] These dig uncovered hundreds of votive offerings which had been placed in the dark recesses of the caves to honour the gods of the ancient world.

[4] The bay of Cala de San Vicent has the unenviable claim to fame of being the scene of one of the first war crimes [4] committed on the island of Ibiza.

Villain had been a political assassin and had murdered the leader of the French Socialist Party, Jean Jaurès in a Paris café in 1914.

On 13 September[5] a small detachment of soldiers arrived on the beach of Cala de San Vicent by rowing boat.

The locals then placed his body in a makeshift coffin, draped it in a French tricolour they found in his house, and buried him in the cemetery at nearby Sant Vicent de sa Cala.
