Ibiza

5) Things to do on Ibiza apart from partying

Ibiza – it’s an island that constantly gets talked about for one thing – its parties and nightlife. But in this post, I want to draw your attention to the benefits of island relaxation without focusing solely on clubs. So, get ready – we’re heading to the largest Balearic Island in the Mediterranean! It’s a corner of paradise where you can find peace and harmony.

Agree, there’s nothing that brings more harmony and tranquility than yoga by the sea. Ibiza offers numerous wonderful spots for practicing yoga, where you can enjoy the sounds of waves and the smell of salty air, elevating your soul and body to new heights. From personal experience, I recommend: https://www.yogawithboo.co.uk/cave-and-cava – an absolutely magical experience of connecting with nature and your inner self. Start the day with a short costal walk to a magical secret cave hidden in the hills of Ibiza.  It’s located in Es Vedra: The mysterious island of Es Vedra is considered one of the most photogenic spots in Ibiza. Head out for a sunset to enjoy the breathtaking view of this majestic mountain bathed in sunlight.

Next, indulge in authentic Ibiza cuisine at local restaurants and cafes. Visit the fish markets to taste fresh seafood and venture to rural markets where you can buy tasty fruits and vegetables. Forget about quick bites on the beach – Ibiza has a lot to offer gastronomically. From local traditional delicacies to exotic dishes from around the world, here you’ll find something for yourself. Share the taste of new adventures intentionally with your friends on social media!

Remember these spots, YOU WILL BE AMAZED!
To eat at:

1. Restaurante Trattoria del Mar –

• Puerto Deportivo Marina, Carrer Botafoch, 219, 07800 Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Espagne
• trattoriadelmaribiza.com
• +34 971 19 39 34

A restaurant with a beautiful terrace overlooking the harbor. Quality service discreetly provided, and above all, a fabulous seafood risotto like the one I have rarely eaten. At my table, another guest ordered a sea bream that the server prepared perfectly, and it was very fresh and perfectly cooked. A good dining experience in Ibiza.

1. Cappuccino Marina Eivissa –

• Passeig Joan Carles I, 20, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Espagne
• cappuccino.com
• +34 971 31 26 28

A magnificent place, superbly located in the marina. Perfect for having a coffee, an aperitif, or a dessert. The place is classy, and the staff is very professional. The view is excellent, as is what they offer on their menu. I recommend the 2023-2024 edition of the coco lime 👌 …

1. Da Claudio Ibiza –

• Puerto deportivo, Ibiza Paseo JuanCarlos I, Carrer Botafoch, local 212, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Espagne
• +34 971 77 21 53

We had an extraordinary lunch at Da Claudio. The Rigatoni Carbonara was prepared tableside and was the best Carbonara we’ve ever had. Just like the oxtail pasta. TOP! The breaded meat was also delicious. Claudio and his wife are lovely people and provide excellent service. Aperol Spritz with Champagne base… Superb wine selection. You should definitely come next time you are on Ibiza.

1. Passion Marina-

• Edificio Mediterraneo, Passeig Joan Carles I, 23, Local 6, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Espagne
• passioncafe.com
• +34 971 31 45 66

Superb restaurant, impeccable food, and very friendly servers. I give it a 10/10 and will definitely come back!

1. El Bigotes – Bullit-

• Camino Cala Boix a Cala Mastella, 138T, 07850 Cala Mastella, Illes Balears, Espagne
• +34 650 79 76 33

A unique place not to be missed during a visit to the island! This fishermen’s restaurant is timeless and so typical for indulging in fresh fish right by the water! You have to reserve well in advance to hope to taste their famous “bullit des peix” for the 2 PM lunch. Unfortunately, we didn’t have that chance, but we still enjoyed a selection of grilled fish + salad during the 11:30 AM service. A simple and unique menu, but it was good, and just for the magic of the place, it’s worth it.

1. 17 Food & Drink Cala Tarida-

• Carrer sa Platja, 16, 07829 Ibiza, Illes Balears, Espagne
• 17pizzadrink.com
• +34 650 51 99 86

Welcoming and very pleasant staff. Each family member rated the pizzas 9.5/10, and we are very critical 😋 I highly recommend the Italian restaurant 17!

1. Restaurante Ca’s Milà –

• Carrer sa Morena, 07829, Illes Balears, Espagne
• restaurantecasmila.com
• +34 971 80 61 93

Refined cuisine in a dream setting! Generous portions, and we love it! Impeccable beef and lamb. A pleasant surprise regarding the carob cake, like chocolate but more delicate. Pleasant and attentive staff. Book a table by the seafront to admire the sunset, it’s magical!

1. Restaurant Ses Eufàbies-

• Playa, C/ de Cala Tarida, 07830, Balearic Islands, Espagne
• eufabies.com
• +34 971 80 63 28

“It’s a very pleasant place with prices that are reasonable considering the location. It’s always a pleasure to gather and enjoy a squid or something else there. We go regularly and always enjoy ourselves. It’s been a pleasure to come here for lunch or dinner for over 20 years”, says local.

1. Beachouse Ibiza-

• Carrer 34 de la Platja d’en Bossa, 07817 Sant Jordi de ses Salines, Illes Balears, Espagne
• beachouseibiza.com
• +34 971 39 68 58

A pleasant but also costly place. You can expect to pay between 90 and 120 euros to rent 2 sun loungers – including towels, mattresses, and cushions – the price depends on the location. With those at 120, you are served a welcome cocktail, and one of the beach attendants moves the parasol so you are always in the shade. We had lunch at the restaurant, a nice place with good service. We had 2 salads, two glasses of white wine, a bottle of sparkling water, bread with aioli, and two coffees. The service charge (10%) is automatically added to the bill. We would have left a tip anyway, but the method seems abusive to me. At the beach as well as in the restaurant, there is an attentive team of servers. The showers and toilets are constantly cleaned. A DJ ensures the musical atmosphere. In summary, a very pleasant place with attentive service but with prohibitive prices.

1. La Chickeria Ibiza-

• Carrer Venda de Can Llàtzer, 19, 07814 Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, Illes Balears, Espagne
• lachickeria.es
• +34 971 19 73 64

An absolute delight, great restaurant! Everything is delicious and flavorful. The atmosphere is very pleasant, and the team is adorable. This address is definitely worth a visit in this charming village. Special mention for the fries 😍, chicken and sides are top-notch, and the staff is very, very kind! Highly recommended 🙂

1. Restaurant Cala Gracioneta

• Carrer a Grasio, 5, 07820 Sant Antoni de Portmany, Illes Balears, Espagne
• calagracioneta.com
• +34 971 34 83 38

Everything is perfect, found through the idyllic Instagram photos, we were not disappointed upon arrival 🙂

Remember to book in high season. The restaurant is nestled in a cove, blending in with the surroundings to preserve the natural beauty. You’ll find yourself in a bucolic, paradisiacal setting, with your feet in the water. The menu is varied and generous, with carefully prepared dishes. A place to visit when you’re passing through Ibiza.

1. Chambao By the Beach –

• Camí ses Feixes, 52, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Espagne
• nobuhotelibizabay.com
• +34 971 87 77 25

Stunning restaurant, a certainty and excellence present worldwide. Located inside the Nobu Hotel Ibiza, it offers ample secure parking and is easily accessible by taxi. The service is very attentive and precise, fully satisfying the customer. The fish is incredibly fresh and melts in your mouth. We enjoyed very fresh shrimp, salmon, and tuna crudités, followed by some delightful lobster tacos with lime. Finally, we had various types of bread with completely normal combinations, always very fresh and light. Reasonable prices for what you eat, the service, and the wonderful location.

1. VIVO bistrot-

• Carrer de la Vénda des Poble, 10, 07814 Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, Illes Balears, Espagne
• vivobistrotibiza.com
• +34 606 53 89 24

Sitting relaxed on the terrace of Bistrot VIVO, enjoying a delicious drink in this tranquil, somewhat chic town nestled in the midst of Ibiza. A very pleasant moment to relax and soak up the sun 🌞.

Hidden in the depths of the island and hidden behind the mountains, there are natural treasures waiting to be discovered. Nature reserves, mysterious caves, and picturesque mountains – every corner of Ibiza hides its unique secrets, ready to be opened for you. Test your skills in various water activities such as surfing, wakeboarding, kayaking, or diving. To relax:

1. Cala Bassa beach Club –

• Camí de la Bassa, 07829, Illes Balears, Espagne
• cbbcgroup.com
• +34 971 34 26 61

A beautiful cuisine for a beach restaurant. A very warm and friendly welcome. A lovely atmosphere in a very pleasant location. I adore the environment.

1. Cala Sant Vicenç – Amazing views and cozy beach to spend your summer vacay at!

1. Cala Vadella – The most beautiful of cala grande beaches, perfect for lovely walks around and especially ideal for swimming.

1. Cala Comte – It’s one of the best beaches in Ibiza with crystal-clear water and white sand. Plan a day at the beach, enjoying the amenities and charming views.

1. Cala Saladeta – A superb little beach that is well worth the effort! To access it: park at Cala Salada beach and then climb and walk a few minutes atop the cliff before descending towards Saladeta cove. Stunning views guaranteed!

1. Benirràs – Beautiful place. There is a nudist beach and a non-nudist beach, several restaurants, a small shop, and it’s possible to do water activities (jet ski, paddleboarding, boats, etc.).

1. Mirador des Vedrà – Beautiful place to watch the sunset. We went on a Saturday evening in September, and it was crowded, so we had to park further away. It’s about a 15-minute walk to reach the viewpoint. You can buy cocktails on-site.

1. Amante Beach Club – End your day in Ibiza with a visit to Amante Beach Club, where you’ll find luxurious sea views, exquisite cuisine, and an atmosphere. A magnificent location with its cliffs reflecting the warmth of the setting sun surrounding the restaurant. We had dinner there, and it was a beautiful discovery. The prices are reasonable for a place like this, except for the cocktails, which are a bit expensive considering you can barely taste the alcohol and end up with a fruit juice…One must be aware that the servers will encourage you to consume quickly to free up tables for other services, which is not necessarily very pleasant. A more smiling and delicate staff would make it an exceptional place. Experience it for yourself; it’s worth a visit.

1. La Paloma – Beautiful restaurant with authentic Israeli style, quality cuisine featuring homemade focaccia bread. Everything was delicious with very fresh ingredients. The homemade lemonade was superb, and the sabich excellent, it’s a 10/10.

1. Es Torrent – Ideal beach for surfers.

As an idea – combine your love of travel with the taste of wine on Ibiza wine tours. Visit local wineries where you can taste the best wine varieties and learn about the wine-making process.
