RESTAURANTE ANTONIO Zahara de Los Atúnes is a fishing village and a popular summer tourist resort known for its stunning beach facing the Atlantic Ocean. The town is named after the fish because of the traditional seasonal practice of La Almadraba, an ancient Phoenician method of trapping Atlantic bluefin tuna with intricate nets. This technique, introduced by the Moors, takes place every May and June, during which numerous fiestas are celebrated. In a land that deeply honour

CALÓ DE S'ALGA KIOSKO SIESTA The Caló de s’Alga Beach Bar in Siesta is a charming discovery. Located beneath the Grand Hotel Palladium, it’s a hidden gem for anyone staying nearby or vacationing in Santa Eulària. If you are seeking a great place to unwind, this is the perfect spot! Imagine this: a wooden shack with white plastic chairs and tables, while the lively atmosphere of Siesta buzzes behind you. In front, the breathtaking view of the Bay of Santa Eulària and the spark

KIOSKO CALA LLENYA In 2025, we were asked about the status of the chiringuito in Cala Llenya. Previous social media reports had claimed that CBBC had taken it over, but fortunately, this was not the case. Both the Ayuntamiento de Santa Eulària des Riu and CBBC confirmed that the chiringuito remains independent. As a result, the charm of this beautiful family beach on the island’s east side is preserved for this season. The chiringuito is open again, featuring a new roof! You

CHIRINGUITO CAN COLOMARET We took another trip from Sant Antoni to the beautiful beach at Cala Nova, located in the northern part of the island. There are several expensive, trendy restaurants situated along the long sandy beach. The stunning Hotel Bless, located at one end of the beach, features a one-Michelin-starred restaurant. We decided to go to the opposite end of the beach, to Chiringuito Can Colomaret. Please be aware that they only accept CASH, no credit or debit car

CHIRINGUITO SES BOQUES This rustic and authentic chiringuito is located at the end of a long, steep road descending from the little village of Es Cubells since 1974. It is nestled among pine trees and offers a complete view of a small pebble beach. To get to the restaurant, take a left turn just before you reach the Es Cubells church. After around a mile, you will see the sign for the restaurant on the left-hand side of the cliff road as you go down the hill. After a steep de

LA CHISMOSA CHIRINGUITO CALA OLIVERA We returned to Cala Olivera to visit the new beach bar, La Chismosa Chiringuito Cala Olivera, which has replaced the previous Hydrogen beach bar that, unfortunately, we did not particularly like. On first impression, La Chismosa Chiringuito Cala Olivera appears much better. It is situated on a stunning little bay that features white sands and overhanging cliffs, providing much-needed shade during the summer months. The crystal-clear water

RESTAURANT ES PORT DE VALLDEMOSSA Our friend Siddu Amin recently returned to Mallorca, and we had lunch at an off-the-beaten-path fish restaurant in Port de Valldemossa that has been operating since 1969. It has gained popularity among those willing to make the effort to visit. With its old-fashioned charm and warm, inviting atmosphere, it becomes particularly busy with tourists during lunchtime. Driving to the hard-to-reach beach and port at Port de Valldemossa requires nerv

RESTAURANTE ES PUETÓ This is a traditional beach bar, or chiringuito, with an Ibicencan heritage that dates back to 1969. Unfortunately, 2026 may be the last year we can enjoy it, as it is scheduled for demolition at the end of the year due to the Costas rule. This regulation aims to restore the coastline by removing beach bars and restaurants. The chiringuito is located directly on the beach in Cala de Bou, and this friendly family-run bar is loved by locals and tourists ali

IBIZA’S FAMOUS CHIRINGUITOS HAVE STARTED TO OPEN AROUND THE ISLAND. Sunbeds and plastic chairs suddenly appear. Wooden tables are dragged across sand that sat empty all winter, and music quietly drifts across the empty sand out to sea. CLICK HERE TO SEE A FEW OF THE CHIRINGUITOS DOTTED AROUND THE ISLAND And just like that, after months of silence and closed shutters, the chiringuito is open again. Where does the word actually come from, and it’s not Spain; Chiringuitos d

RESTAURANTE VENTORRILLO DEL CHATO This restaurant is a beautiful historic Goya-esque 18th-century roadhouse, situated near the beach dunes, an oasis in the heart of a desert strip. Jose Manuel Cordoba makes magic with fish here. We come here for the Tortillitas de Camarones (shrimp fritters). The ones here are larger but also incredibly crispy, with more batter edges and significantly more shrimp than any others we had. They are great with a cold fino sherry. Other excellen
