For the party capital of the world finding a fun lively restaurant for groups is easy, however narrowing it down to just one is a task. With so many on offer and full of life it’s not hard to find a bustling restaurant with a tasty menu and a buzzing atmosphere.

When it comes to immersive entertainment then we have to take our hats off to Lio’s.   This open- air venue is decorated to the highest standard, making you stop for a minute while you are in awe of your surroundings and picture perfect views of Dalt Vila. The entertainers will take you on a journey from the moment you arrive, and your group will almost become a part of the performance without even realising – and before you know it you will be up dancing with the other customers.

The food is to die for and expect nothing less than quality entertainment with the highest service from the staff.  This is a night you won’t forget!

It has a buzz about it with visitors and locals sitting outside restaurants enjoying the food, and the architecture is beautifully authentic adding to the ambience.

One restaurant definitely worth a visit is S’ Escalinita.  It is on a set of steps leading up Dalt Vila with brightly coloured bean bags arranged outside making it feel warm and comfortable. With stunning views of the town it is the perfect place to grab some tasty tapas and a caña while chatting with the friendly staff, as you watch the world go by.

Their cocktails are crafted to perfection and their rum selection is fit for the finest connoisseurs.

Beach

Couples

You are never too far from a beach in Ibiza!

The island is home to so many wonderful beaches all snuggled in various corners, each different to the last. If you and your loved one are looking to relax with an iconic Ibiza backdrop then Cala D’hort is the best spot. Not only does this little beach have an extremely popular fish restaurant but it is overlooked by Es Vedra rock which is considered the third most magnetic place in the world.

Groups

Las Salinas beach named after the salt lakes on the south of the island is ideal for groups. Known for attracting party people expect colourful and cool characters. If you’re looking to catch a tan while socialising with friends over a few beers then this is a great choice for you, however remember it isn’t the quietest so although you can relax don’t expect to have complete tranquility.

This beach is bustling with many restaurants and bars to choose from including Jockey club which you will most likely hear before you see with the house music spilling out onto the beach from their bar. If you walk further along the beach you will find quieter parts for anyone wanting to have a little snooze by the sea.

Solo

For the solo zen seeker wanting to refuel on good Ibiza energy, then Benirras beach on the north side of the island is a spot worth visiting. If you go on a Sunday be sure to get there early and set up a nice spot as crowds gather later in the day for hippie drumming at sunset. This is a place full of free spirits and soul seekers so a great place to talk to other nationalities and locals.
