CHIRINGUITO UTOPIA Updated August 2021

Unfortunately, since our last visit, the San Juan city council has decided to declare the Beach where Chiringuito Utopia was a virgin Beach, so for the moment, it will not be able to return. It is still a great spot to swim and sunbathe, but there are no facilities now. The new pictures show the beach as it was in August 2021.

The bay is still a good place to swim and snorkel.

CHIRINGUITO UTOPIA (August 2019)

To find Chiringuito Utopia, take the sign-posted footpath from Port Sant Miquel beach that starts just past the Port Balansat restaurant on the left-hand side of the beach looking out to sea.

After walking for about 250 meters across the cliffs, you will see the bay below.

And the Chiringuito at the back of it.

This is one of the most peaceful beaches on the island, and it's easy to miss unless you know where the path begins. It is only about 30m long and 25m wide, but the water is crystal clear, ideal for snorkelling, and safe for children.

The chef at work on the plancha (a flat iron grill used all over Spain).

Grilled dorada (gilthead bream), gamba roja ibicenca (Ibicencan red prawns), grilled calamare (squid) and grilled vegetables a la plancha are all available, and there is even a sardine feast every Friday and Saturday lunchtime and evening. Be sure to let them know beforehand if you plan to go, as it's very popular.

The sardine BBQ (sardinada) is €11.

The chiringuito is romantically decorated in white and blue, with comfortable chairs and Balinese beds.

The only downside is that there are no showers, and it has an eco toilet, but it's manageable. It is only minutes from the beach in San Miguel, where you can use all the facilities you may need!

It is a very secluded place, and the climb to get there is quite bumpy, so make sure you wear adequate shoes.

You may prefer to access the chiringuito by boat, should you have one!

It's also just a perfect spot to drop by for a cold drink, swim, or sunbathe.

This is called a Chiringuito, which loosely translates as a beach shack.

They originated with fishermen's wives who realised they could sell freshly cooked fish with beer and wine to the first tourists in the early 1940s. They used upturned old fishing boats on the beach to serve from; this is where the old-style chiringuitos got their distinctive boat shape. Sadly, that doesn't really apply any more.
