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

RESTAURANT BALNEARI We paid a long-overdue visit to restaurant Balneari in Cala Carbó. The restaurant has been part of this small Ibiza cove since 1974, when it began life as a simple beach kiosk. Founded by Pepe Benet, the restaurant became one of the best-known traditional fish establishments in the southern part of the island. After Pepe retired, the business was transferred in 2005 to Antonio “Toni” Torres, one of his trusted employees. Toni now manages the restaurant. Mo

RESTAURANTE NIU BLAU We returned to Restaurante Niu Blau, which is one of Ibiza’s long-established traditional beach restaurants. Located directly on Es Niu Blau beach, between Santa Eulària and Es Canar, it has served customers for more than 40 years. Unlike many of Ibiza’s newer beach clubs, Niu Blau has retained the feel of a traditional Mediterranean seaside restaurant, specialising in rice dishes, fresh fish and seafood. Es Niu Blau is a small sandy bay surrounded by pin

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 Sa Trenka Cala Martina Ibiza on a stunning beach: a charming, unpretentious chiringuito with a great vibe, specialising in rice dishes and seafood. The perfect ‘alternative’ Ibiza to some of the trendy, expensive places in the south of the island. We booked a table for 2 pm and then walked along the beach. Current m

RESTAURANTE ES VENTALL Michelin Plate IIO Es Ventall Ibiza is one of our favourite restaurants in Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio): The restaurant has been open for over 35 years. Since 2005, when the younger José Miguel Bonet took over, the traditional dishes have been given a much more inventive twist. However, they still include many of the island’s favourites. These include rice dishes, such as paella, fideuá, arroz a banda, bullit de peix, and fish and seafood. Th

RESTAURANT SALVADÓ This traditional Ibicencan fish restaurant sits above the small cove of Pou des Lleó, near Sant Carles de Peralta in northern Ibiza, with wonderful views across the sea and Canal d’en Martí.

CHIRINGUITO MANACA To get to Chiringuito Manaca from Mojácar, drive past the Hotel Indalo on the road from Mojácar to Carboneras. Continue straight inland and take a left at the third roundabout onto Playa Macenas. You will see the Castillo de Macenas just before the Macenas golf course extends inland.

RESTAURANTE CASA SALVADOR We recently returned to Casa Salvador, the place in València province for rice, and found it just as wonderful as before. The restaurant is situated in the La Albufera rice-growing region of València, near the Cullera estuary, which is a freshwater lagoon that flows into the sea. It can be a bit challenging to locate. Make your way over the bridge in Cullera via the back road (CV-605). Take a right onto Via Pista, then a left at Poligon Num 28 Estany

RESTAURANTE ES BOLDADO Michelin Guide During our trip to Ibiza in mid-March, we visited one of our favourite restaurants, Es Boldado. To reach it from Sant Josep to Cala d’Hort, take the last right turn toward Cala Truja. After about 3 kilometres, you will see the sign for Es Boldado on your left. Turn onto this road and drive down the dusty Camino (dirt track) for approximately 1.5 kilometres. You will be rewarded with the best view of Ibiza. If you’re seeking a restauran
