The home of house music and late-night revelry, Ibiza has quietly evolved into one of Europe’s most exciting fine dining destinations.
While iconic beach clubs like Blue Marlin remain essential to any trip to the White Isle, a wave of new culinary hotspots has been transforming the island’s gastronomic scene.
For refined dining, book ahead at Ibiza Gran Hotel’s La Gaia, where celebrated chef Óscar Molina serves up exceptional local ingredients drawn from land and sea. Prefer your seafood with toes in the sand and a sunset view? The island is rich in barefoot-luxury gems that let the scenery and produce shine. There are also cliffside hideaways made for romantic evenings and, naturally, those glamorous spots where dinner turns into a full-blown fiesta.
