Mercat Vell is a traditional market in the heart of Ibiza Town. It's a great first stop to taste fresh local produce and regional products. From fruits and vegetables to cheese, sausages or pastries, you'll find everything you need to put together a delicious Mediterranean picnic.
El Bigotes is a seafood restaurant famous for its authentic paella. Located in the small fishing village of Cala Mastella, the restaurant is only reachable by boat, which makes for a unique experience. Be sure to book in advance, as it's a popular spot among locals and tourists alike.
San Juan Market takes place every Sunday and is a great opportunity to taste some of the best local street food, like "ensaimadas" (sweet pastries), "sobrasada" (pork spread), or "croquetas" (fried balls with different fillings). In addition to food, you'll also find clothing, jewelry and crafts.
Passion Cafe is the go-to place for healthy and organic food on the island. With several locations around Ibiza, you'll find plenty of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, as well as delicious açai bowls, smoothies and juices.
Bodega Can Rich is a local winery that produces organic wine, olive oil and herbs. You can visit their vineyards, learn about the wine-making process, and, of course, taste some of their products. They also offer organic snacks and drinks to pair with the wine.
La Paloma Cafe is a hidden gem in the countryside of San Lorenzo. The restaurant's garden is an idyllic setting for a leisurely lunch or dinner, with a vegetable garden and a chicken coop that supply some of the ingredients. The menu features Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.
Ca Na Ribes is a traditional "payés" house that has been converted into a restaurant. The interior is decorated with antique tools and farming equipment, and the menu is based on seasonal and local produce. Some of the highlights are the "bullit de peix" (fish stew) and the "flaó" (a type of cheesecake).
As most of the locations can be reached by car or taxi, renting a car or taking a taxi may be the most convenient way to get around the island. Public transportation is limited, especially on Sundays. Expect to spend around €20-30 for a taxi ride between Ibiza Town and the listed locations. Rental cars start at around €30 per day
If you have more time, consider visiting some of the smaller villages in the interior of the island, like Santa Gertrudis or Sant Carles. They often have good restaurants and local markets. If you have less time, shorten the itinerary to five days, skipping San Juan Market and La Paloma Cafe.
Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is located in the town of Sant Jordi, around 4 miles from Ibiza Town. It's the main gateway to the island, with flights from many European cities. The airport is small but modern, with several shops, restaurants and bars. Expect to spend around €15-20 for a taxi ride from the airport to Ibiza Town.
