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 off the shore, which 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 is a family-friendly spot that is not usually as crowded as other, more famous coves.

Additionally, right above is Restaurant S'Illot des Renclí, which features a large terrace where you can enjoy local Ibicencan fare while overlooking the sea, completing the experience.

On a few visits here we have had,

Pan, aceitunas y alioli.

Tomates, espárragos y calabacín a la parrilla

Gambas con chile y ajo

Pimientos dulces con queso azul

Calamares a la plancha.

Lenguado (sole)

Dorada (gilthead sea bream)

You can also order larger fish to share, like scorpionfish and grouper

Served with potato chips and vegetables.

For dessert, you could have,

Greixonera, a traditional dessert from Ibiza, is made from using up stale ensaimadas (Balearic pastry).

Tarta de queso con fresas.

Rounded off with a café caleta (made with coffee, brandy, rum, and sugar, originating from Ibizan fishermen to help them endure the cold at sea.

There is a decent, reasonably priced wine list. The service is friendly and efficient.

After lunch, you can have a great swim and snorkel between the rocks. Wear swim shoes if possible, as the entire cove is challenging to access barefoot.
