Ibiza’s evolution from a late-night (early-morning, technically) party island to certified foodie destination means that visitors now flock to the White Isle as much for its culinary offering as its club scene. But with every cove, bay and stretch of sand now boasting some sort of beach restaurant, just how do you pick the right sea-side watering hole for you?

We asked Ibiza-based concierge and lifestyle service, Eden Events, for the lowdown on the island’s best beach restaurants. Whether you’re looking for a Mediterranean lunch with a view, or sushi under the stars, these are the top spots dragging visitors from the dance floor to the dinner table…

Aiyanna Ibiza

Location: Eivissa

Launched by the team behind island-favourite Amante, Aiyanna is pure Boho chic. Gorgeous sea views, paired with the natural style of the restaurant and gloriously colourful Guatemalan parasols shout fabulousness. Either lounge and sip on a cocktail or try its diverse menu, which takes in much of the Mediterranean. There’s more than enough to keep you satisfied until the sun goes down.
