Ibiza Beach Clubs

I

Amante Beach Club is simply idyllic. Nestled in the cliffs above the beach it overlooks the stunning Sol d’en Serra bay. It is a great all-day beach destination. Yoga at sunrise (in English and Spanish) is the perfect start to your day. Followed up by a healthy, well deserved, buffet breakfast with the best views on the island. Then pick your luxurious sun bed with waiter/ress service and picture-perfect sea views to accumulate your tan, jump into another world though the pages of your book or just relax listening to chilled DJ music. If you fancy a break from the sun, the restaurant serves a mouth-watering selection of contemporary Mediterranean dishes, extensive wine and classic champagne cocktail menu. A kids menu is available for the little ones. To ensure the best ingredients, Amante has its own organic garden that is cared for by Ibiza native Guillermo Ferrer, who has 30 years of organic farming experience. After sundown, Amante makes the perfect setting for romantic fine-dining in the evening breeze, overlooking the calm moonlit sea. If you still want to feel the sand in between your toes just a little longer, enjoy some of the best modern and classic movies under the stars with freshly made popcorn, cava and gentle lapping waves. You will remember it as the most incredible open-air cinema experience in your life.

EXPERIMENTAL BEACH CLUB. BOHEMIAN.

Perched perfectly on the seaside at Cap des Falco, Ses Salinas National Park, this beach club rests halfway between the island’s hippy and hedonistic reputations. Expect a bohemian barefoot vibe, ultra-chill setting and a striking beachfront sunset. Experimental was created for chilling out in style, lazy lunches at the seaside or romantic dinners. The restaurant is headed by Chef Alexander Larrea of El Bulli and serves up both traditional tapas and more modern seafood dishes such as prawn carpaccio with mango vinaigrette and black cod marinated in miso with pak choy.

Thus their margarita is pepped up with local Ibizan herbs, and their Pimm's Punch has a tropical twist of pomegranate and pineapple. Punchbowls, which are advised for sharing, come in giant conch shells with pineapples. For those looking to stay healthy under the sun, the detox menu boasts fresh juices and smoothies.
