This area has always been very familiar, but, little by little, it has become more touristy because of the hotels around it. And it has become more popular due to the glamorous night clubs that have been established here over the years.

Type: Sandy Beach
It is a sandy cove with calm and clear waters. In some areas, the bottom has the millenary algae Posidonia. The cove is long measuring 250 meters long and 10 meters wide, but divided by a long concrete pier on one side and a concrete platform on the other side of a beach club terrace.

Did you know?
For archaeology lovers, this may be of interest. In S’Argamassa there is a Roman aqueduct from the first century, made to transport fresh water to a fish farm on the coast. It is approximately 300 meters long and is perpendicular to the beach. According to researchers, the large tuna was kept alive in the fish farm and then exported using a fishing technique that is only conserved in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. Unfortunately, the municipality permitted the Hotel Melià Me Ibiza (Melià S’Argamassa) to build next to the aqueduct. So, whenever the guests look down from their balconies, they can see the aqueduct next to the hotel.
