ILLA DES CANAR Replacing the former Mar Bella on this site, this restaurant opened in July 2024. They serve delicious, typical Ibicencan food in an unbeatable location on the beach, with stunning sea views and prices not generally seen on the island for such quality. There is no fancy beach club atmosphere here, as the new owner is a local Ibicencan. Some of the dishes available include, Ensalada de Costas (typical of Formentera, bread crust and dried fish) Humus y parrilla d

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

CHIRINGUITO FUSTA - CALA D’EN SERRA UPDATED July 2026 Look for the Cala d’en Serra sign on your right, just before you reach Portinatx. Continue along the road until the tarmac ends, then park your vehicle. From there, you will be able to see the beach below, which is a small horseshoe-shaped bay with nearby satellite coves. The sandy beach features clean, clear water and was once recognised as one of Europe’s best beaches by The Guardian newspaper. Cliffs encircle the bay

ES ALOCS RESTAURANTE Located at the back of the beautiful family beach of Es Figueral in the northeast of the island, this is an authentic local restaurant owned and operated by true Ibicencos from nearby Sant Carles de Peralta. A glimpse of what the island was like before the influx of high-end tourists wiped out many of the traditional bars and restaurants. They offer simple, local cuisine at reasonable prices. Expect nothing extravagant. The restaurant is open for breakfas

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

RESTAURANT CAMI DE BALÀFIA If you fancy something big and meaty in the evening (sorry, vegetarians, but this is probably not for you!), drive up restaurant Road, officially known as Carretera San Joan de Labritja (it’s the second-to-last restaurant on the left, on the stretch of road going to the village of San Joan de Labritja from Eivissa (Ibiza Town). If you count down the kilometres of roadside posts, it is 15.4km. You will find Camí de Balàfia set back from the main road

COMIDAS BAR SAN JUAN UPDATE AUGUST 2026 – Comidas Bar San Juan remains closed. Despite suggestions that the premises might eventually reopen under new ownership, we can find no confirmation of a new owner or reopening date. The Marí family shut Bar San Juan down in December 2024, ending a business that had operated since 1874. In February 2025, Carlos Marí stated that the family had decided it was time to cease operations, and the report clearly mentioned it would not reopen

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
