Cala Llentia

Rocky cove on Ibiza's west coast with Time and Space, basalt columns raised by Andrew Rogers in 2014

Cala Llentia is a rocky cove on the west coast of Ibiza, in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. It is best known for Time and Space, a land-art installation of basalt columns that the Australian artist Andrew Rogers set up on the cliff above the water in 2014, and the site is often called Ibiza's Stonehenge. There is no sandy beach here; people come for the columns, the stone spirals laid out on the rock and the open view over the sea.

What makes it special

Dark basalt columns stand upright on the bare headland, with the sea spread out behind them and nothing nearby to give them scale. This is Time and Space, set here by Andrew Rogers in 2014. Stone spirals are laid out on the rock around it.

No panel explains any of it. The arrangement is yours to read.

The cliff gives a wide view over open water, and because the cove faces west, the evening sun goes down over the sea. In that low light the stone turns warm and the columns throw long shadows across the rock.

Good to know

  • There is no shade on the headland apart from the columns themselves: bring sunscreen, a hat and water.
  • No toilets and no drinking water at the cove or nearby. Fill up before you come.
  • The track in is dusty and bumpy, and the car park at the end of it is unpaved.
  • There is no sandy beach: the shore is rock, and nothing on site explains the artwork.

Getting there

You arrive by car on a dusty, bumpy track that ends at an unpaved car park about 200 m away in a straight line. From there it is an easy walk across open, rocky ground to the columns.

The nearest bus stops, Club Delfín and Cala Tarrida, sit roughly 800 to 900 m away in a straight line, so coming by bus adds a longer walk at both ends of the day.

Best time to visit

Best: late afternoon through to sunset.

Avoid: the middle of a summer day.

The cove faces west, so the sun sets over the sea beyond the columns, while at midday the bare headland offers no shade apart from the columns themselves.

The columns stand on an open cliff top above the sea, and the edge is unfenced. Keep children close and stay well back from the drop, especially in wind.
