Favourite Beaches

Tara's favourite beaches in Ibiza are Cala d’Hort, Salinas, and Es Cavallet, each offering its own unique charm and atmosphere!

Cala d’Hort is all about dramatic views, with Es Vedrà rising out of the sea as the perfect backdrop to a relaxed beach day. Salinas brings a lively, iconic Ibiza energy with golden sand, beach bars, and a stylish crowd. Es Cavallet feels more laid-back and natural, with soft dunes and long stretches of beautiful clear water.

Must visit Shops

When it comes to shopping in Ibiza, her go-to spots are a mix of her own world and carefully selected island favourites!

Naturally, Taar Willoughby City and Taar Willoughby Beach are at the top of the list, offering her signature style in two distinct locations. She also loves Porta Official for effortlessly cool, curated pieces, and Gotane Vintage, a new opening this spring with unique finds. Beta Astral is a much-anticipated yearly pop-up on the island, while Paco is a vintage store known for its handpicked selection of one-of-a-kind pieces.
