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

EL BIGOTES The Fish Shack at Cala Mastella is also known as El Bigotes, 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 years old. His funeral was massive on the island, with everyone paying their respects. Rest in peace, El Bigotes, and thank you for you

RESTAURANTE S’ILLOT DES RENCLÍ S’Illot des Renclí is a stunning, small beach, one of those that captures the essence of tranquil Ibiza. The entire area is stunning, surrounded by pine trees and fishermen’s huts, with a famous islet offshore that lends the bay its name. The crystal-clear water is perfect for swimming and snorkelling, with a seabed teeming with sea life. There are four jetties where you can put your towel down if you don’t want to sunbathe on the beach. It i

VIVÉ BEACH CHIRINGUITO Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Winter. From 10 am until 6 pm. A favourite with locals, Chiringuito Vivé Beach is situated on the sand of the Platgeta de sa Punta (Platja es Vivé), an urban beach located between Ses Figueretes and Platja d'en Bossa. An area where you can take advantage of many aquatic activities, since it is well laid out and marked. It is a large sandy area that is a paradise for families. Additionally, the waters are shallow, mak

Discovering Authentic Ibicencan Cuisine CAFETERÍA CA’N JORDI - LAS PUERTAS DE CIELO If you plan to visit, you’ll need a car or a bicycle.

RESTAURANT POMELO PLAYA (ex Sa Bresca) UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2025 The chiringuito on Cala Gracio only opened in 2025. The beds are reasonable, and the service is good. Previously called Sa Bresca, now owned by The Mambo Group, so, unfortunately, the prices are incredibly overpriced. They have renamed the bar Pomelo Playa. They charge €6 for a small beer (0.3 litres) and €8 for a large beer (0.5 litres). The cheapest bottle of wine is €45; the Tomato Salad is €26; the Beach Burge

KIOSKU CALA MASTELLA This beach bar on the island’s northeast is a local insider tip among Ibiza’s chiringuito lovers. It is sometimes unfavourably compared to the legendary fish restaurant El Bigotes, which sits to the left in the same bay. This is entirely unjustified, although it works on a different concept. Pepe Bonet and Angel Pins have created a true oasis of calm here and created honest, perfectly prepared food. They have six dishes (fresh fish, of course, hamburgers,

EL CHIRINGUITO CALA GRACIONETA UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2025 This is another place taken over by Grupo Mambo in recent years, so it’s no longer the place it used to be. Expect much higher prices if you go. It is still a stunning spot and venue if it suits your pocket. A rough guide to the price list. €5 Croquetas each €49 Pulpo (octopus, small leg) €46 Solomillo (no sides) €25 Padron peppers €14 Patatas fritas €10 Water Wine (all expensive) PREVIOUS VISITS From Sant Antoni de Por

SA TRENKA RESTAURANT We decided to take a trip up north of the Island from Sant Antoni (San Antonio) to a beach and restaurant we had not been to before. We found a stunning beach, Calla Martina, and a charming, unpretentious chiringuito with a great vibe that specialised in rice dishes and seafood. The perfect ‘alternative’ Ibiza to some trendy, expensive places south of the Island. We booked a table for 2 pm and then walked along the beach. On returning to Sa Trenka, we ord
