CHIRINGUITO SA FERRADURA (EL PIRATA) To locate this charming little kiosk and beach, turn left at the sign for the Hacienda Na Xamena Hotel and Spa when heading down Port de Sant Miquel Road, before reaching the port. At around halfway, you must take the right-hand fork turn and drive for approximately 2 km along a quite testing, bumpy Camino (un-tarmacked road) to arrive at the bay. The kiosk with the pirate flag is located on the beach and offers affordable basic chiringuit

RESTAURANT ES XARCU Michelin Plate IIO UPDATED JULY 2026 Es Xarcu has finally returned to the sea. Two years prior, they had to relocate to the village of Es Cubells. Although the menu was excellent and the food was outstanding, the atmosphere just wasn't quite the same. The good news is they have returned to their familiar, beloved location! For more than three decades, Mariano Torres and his wife have been managing this chiringuito, a favourite among numerous b

CHIRINGUITO CALA ESCONDIDA IBIZA UPDATE AUGUST 2026 - CHIRINGUITO ESCONDIDA sadly lost the tenure of this spot after being massively outbid and has now moved to the far end of Platja d’en Bossa. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy, and locals say this was the only part of the beach that they could use without noise and commercial properties. The new tenant, CasaNua, opened in late July 2026 to mixed reviews. This was the previous incarnation. The walk to Platges de Comte, in

CHIRINGUITO PACO If you’re seeking fresh seafood and a variety of fish, this authentic Spanish beach bar on the beach in Estepona, established in 1997, is an excellent choice and a place to start. Once settled in, we had some espeto de sardinas (sardines skewered and cooked over hot coals). Tortillitas de camarones (the famous lightly battered, thin, crisp shrimp fritters). Conchas Finas (local Málaga smooth clams). Coquinas al ajillo y vino blanco (small flat clams from Huel

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

THE FISH SHACK @ TALAMANCA Chiringuito Sa Punta is a small fish shack on the rocks, situated at the very edge of Talamanca beach. It is hard to find, as there are no signposts or roof guiding you to it. This is one spot you don’t often read about, making it all the more special. Head for the restaurant Sa Punta in Talamanca, and when you reach it, keep going past the rocks. Soon, you will see the tangle of umbrella canopies, wooden tables and plastic chairs. A simple, typical

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

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
