TIME AND SPACE Overlooking the Balearic Sea on the southwest coast, Time and Space Ibiza is an unusual stone monument created in 2014 by Australian artist Andrew Rogers. Commissioned by Canadian billionaire Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil, the sculpture consists of 13 enormous basalt columns arranged in an elliptical formation approximately 24 metres in diameter. The stone was quarried in Turkey and transported to Ibiza, with the entire installation weighing around

RESTAURANTE CAN PUJOL Restaurante Can Pujol was founded in 1980 by local fisherman Lluc Torres, who had learned his trade fishing in the Bay of Sant Antoni. Situated just a few metres from the sea at Cala de Bou, it began as a modest family-run restaurant and gradually became one of Ibiza’s best-known traditional seafood restaurants. Lluc’s wife, Fina Zambrano, originally from Cádiz, ran the kitchen, while Lluc specialised in selecting and preparing freshly caught fish. Their

EL SILENCIO IBIZA We ventured to the beautiful little bay of Cala Moli for lunch at the hidden gem, El Silencio Ibiza. A great spot for food, drinks and a swim. El Silencio opened at Cala Molí on 16 June 2021, created by French entrepreneur Arnaud Frisch, founder of the famous Silencio nightclub in Paris, which opened in 2011 and was designed by film director David Lynch. The Ibiza venue occupies the site of the former Cala Molí Beach Club, whose original architecture dated

GRILL SANT ANTONI Grill Sant Antoni Ibiza is a traditional restaurant in the old town of Sant Antoni de Portmany, situated opposite the town church. The premises have a long history and were once a popular venue for local weddings and family celebrations. In 2014, local restaurateur Toni Cardona reopened the restaurant, with chef Ramona Escribano taking charge of the kitchen. The restaurant retained its rustic character, including its large fireplace, while specialising in tr

ES VIROT RESTAURANTE Es Virot Ibiza, a restaurant in San Antonio Bay, might sound familiar, as it was located in Port des Torrent for many years, just to the left of the beach. In 2018, the restaurant closed when the CBbC group took over the building and transformed it into Deeva Beach Club. The premises subsequently became Alma Beach Ibiza and are now known as Tigre Morado. However, this was not the end of Es Virot. The original operators found a new location near Cala de

LA TERRETA TAPAS Y MÁS La Terreta is a true hidden gem in San Antonio, Ibiza, and we arrived with very few expectations. This spot is a relatively recent addition to Sant Antoni’s traditional tapas scene. The small neighbourhood bar was already established by 2023 and is run by Lorena and her husband Marco, who does the cooking. Rather than following the increasingly fashionable style of many Ibiza restaurants, they have kept things simple, concentrating on traditional Spanis

RESTAURANTE ES CUCÓ This restaurant is located on the outskirts of Cala de Bou, heading inland. It is an excellent place to stop for a drink or some reasonably priced food. Es Cucó Ibiza began as a family business in the 1960s, founded by Vicent Marí and Pepa de Can Garxò des Pou. Originally a traditional local shop with a small bar attached, it became a popular meeting place for locals and workers from the area’s developing hotels. In 1977, the shop and bar were separated, a

RESTAURANT SA CALETA UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2026: The beach opposite the restaurant, Es Bol Nou, is now closed for safety reasons. This also applies to the viewing tunnel to the left of the beach. The restaurant remains open. In October 2026, we returned to an old favourite Restaurant Sa Caleta. The restaurant is situated between the airport and Cala Jondal. Just before you turn off for Cala Jondal, you will see a sign for the restaurant on the left. Drive down the dusty camino, wh

EL BIGOTES The Fish Shack at Cala Mastella is also known as El Bigotes Ibiza, which translates to “The Moustache”, a nod to the proprietor’s distinctive whiskers. El Bigotes will be remembered for sitting at his table every lunchtime while enjoying a flagon of his favourite red wine with his fish and rice. Sadly, he passed away in 2025 at nearly 100. His funeral was massive on the island, with everyone paying their respects. Rest in peace, El Bigotes, and thank you for your i

ASADOR CAN PILOT We returned to Restaurante Asador Can Pilot Ibiza, which has been part of Sant Rafel since 1949, when Joan Ramon Boned built the original Taberna Can Pilot himself. One of the village’s first bars, it became a popular meeting place for locals and, in 1961, even acquired what is remembered as Sant Rafel’s first television. The original bar closed in 1970, and Boned’s son, Joan Ramon Serra, reopened it with his wife, Carmen Ribas, in 1989. What began again as a
