Pacifico’s Ibiza Picks..
A Curated Guide by Rebecca - Pacifico Designs.
Welcome to Ibiza—a sun-drenched island that pulses with creativity, energy, and otherworldly beauty. As the home of Pacifico Designs, we’re not just passionate about hats and styling—we’re passionate about the magic of this place.
Whether you're planning your first visit or returning to chase sunsets, here’s our lovingly curated guide to the best beaches, cafes, restaurants, and unforgettable things to do on the island of dreams.
🌊 Beaches to Fall in Love With
Aguas Blancas
A more local, low-key vibe with soft waves and epic cliffside views. Ideal for early morning swims, followed with coffee at Bar Anita and then onto one of our favourite artisan markets in the North - Las Dalias!
Es Portitxol
A hidden gem for the adventurer’s soul. Pure, untouched peace. The road to Es Portitxol isn't easy, unless you have a boat, of course. You'll have to leave your car near the Isla Blanca residential area and set off for a nice walk in the sunshine along the coast. The actual road to Es Portitxol is beautiful in this part of Ibiza , so i recommend this route, just wear hiking shoes down there, along with a picnic and you’ll be great for the day.
Cala d’Hort
This location near the Es Vedrà viewpoint offers a breathtaking perspective of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell. Capture the best shot from atop the cliff or the wooden jetty at the right-hand end of the cove, and grab a Banoffee desert from Restaurant El Carmen on the beach.. if you’re close by let me know, there’s a chance i could be in one of our fave secret coves a few meters away :)
Saladeta Cove
Famed for the most striking water color and cliff backdrop, this cove is one of my secluded places to be. Morning visits are best before the lighting fades. When you get to the wooden sign with arrows, to the left.. choose the red cross path ;) (maybe not with kids) you’ll go on a climbing adventure to the most secluded part of the beach… if you can get down the rocks!!
Xarraca Cove
Though the famous swing is gone, this beach still charms with its family-friendly feel and a fave for snorkeling. Walk the cliff path leftward for a photo-perfect view and more access to secluded parts of the rocks you can sunbathe/ jump from.
Llentia Cove
Hard to reach, but rich in artistry and inspiration. See "Time and Space" by Andrew Rogers and the iconic Can Soleil Doors framing Es Vedrà.
Cala Comte
Picture-perfect turquoise waters and golden sand. Stay for the sunset—this is one of the most magical spots on the island, if you’re ok with lots of people also enjoying a sunset.
☕ Cafés with Soul
Croissant Show (Ibiza Town)
A quirky, iconic café where locals and visitors mingle over buttery croissants and people-watching, menu del dia is always worth getting from here.
Can Guimo (San Joan)
The sweetest, artsy cafe where locals meet to discuss creative business plans, or sit in the beautiful terrace taking the sun whilst enjoying the most sensational home cooked food. Food wise think.. Brazilian with a healthy twist, mixed with everyones favourites. (A personal fave is the sweet potato with Tahini and chick peas, you’ll die and go to food heaven)
Macadamia (Cala de Bou)
A hidden gem and a favorite among locals, Macadamia offers fresh Mediterranean flavors at unbeatable prices. Great for a casual brunch or relaxed lunch after a beach day—it’s delicious, unfussy, and super welcoming.
MUI MIA (Ibiza Town)
A stylish and vibrant café known for its quality coffee, friendly atmosphere, and Instagram-worthy interiors. A perfect pit stop for recharging your senses.
Bar Anita (San Carlos)
A classic Ibizan café with an old-world feel and an ideal stop for a café con leche after a refreshing swim at Aguas Blancas. Sit on the terrace, sip slowly, and soak in the village charm.
Wild Beets (Santa Gertrudis)
In the village of Santa Gertrudis, wild Beets is dedicated to fresh, organic and seasonal produce meaning the menu changes with the seasons. It’s a plant-based menu that brings a light touch to nature’s gifts, serving up delectable breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks.
Vitamin Sea (San Antonio Bay)
Boho brunch experience, with mouth watering juices and fab coffee. Weather it’s a healthy bowl or their signature Sunday Roast, it’s an island spot, worth going to SEA. More often than not, you will find Pacifico, BeEm and Ceva Cu Ditches doing a pop up shopping experience here.
🍽️ Restaurant Favourites
La Paloma (San Lorenzo)
Mediterranean magic with organic ingredients and soft, fairy-lit dinners under citrus trees. This picturesque haven is a mediterranean menu during the day, and during the evening it switches over to an italian. La paloma has the sweetest play ground in the grounds so if you’re coming with kiddies, but would still like some nice down time.. this one’s for you.
Bar Can Berri (Sant Augusti)
In the most rural, authentic and bohemian Ibiza, in the small town of Sant Agustí, Can Berri awaits you, a place that combines the most international cuisine with local products under the motto "tranquil·litat i bons aliments".
In a pleasant garden, under the shade of orange and pomegranate trees, you can enjoy a varied and original cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere. Discover the true essence of Ibiza in the heart of the island, an oasis where time has no meaning.
La Escollera (Ses Salines Nature Reserve)
Located in a magical corner in the south of Ibiza, in the heart of the Ses Salines Nature Reserve, this all year round, all time fave for so many reasons is set in a wild and natural setting, offering views of Formentera, Es Cavallet, and the Mediterranean Sea. This culinary tradition began more than 30 years ago, with the families beloved grandmother and her legendary paellas.
Aubergine by Atzaró (San Miquel)
Think romantic terraces, cosy and relaxing dining rooms, chic and rural environment with draped olive-green accented authentic style. They have the most beautiful relaxed garden terrace, and what’s better than everything being homemade farm-to-table food.
FLO (Ibiza Town)
An elevated yet approachable vegetarian dining experience with a seasonal Mediterranean menu, beautiful interior design, and some of the island’s most flavourful dishes. You can pretty much watch the chefs create your food. Great for dinner dates or long, leisurely lunches.
Juntos House (San Mateo)
Farm-to-table, and community vibes in a rural finca setting. A dreamy escape. The food is organic, local & fresh. Junto’s lovingly celebrate the regenerative Juntos Farm produce giving special emphasis on working hand in hand with the farm to grow the best seasonal produce, full of flavor! Junto’s also host a wide variety of different workshops and events, have a fab boutique and are open not only for a beautiful dinner, but all day, serving gorgeous artisan coffee.
World Family Restaurant (San Joan)
A place where Fashion, food and music meet. This place is the ideal space where you can enjoy a meal with friends, from a take away for the beach or a beautiful space where you can relax and disconnect from daily stress with live music. Here you can also stroll through one of my favourite fashion boutiques, where unique handmade artisan products await.
Can Suldat (Es Canar)
Tucked away and full of character, in a converted finca Can Suldat serves up soulful Mediterranean cuisine with live music every evening set in a rustic ambiance. A true hidden treasure with heart and flavour. (The cheese fondue paired with some veggies and their bread) is all you need - it’s huge!!
Cicale (Santa Gertrudis)
Authentic Italian with a touch of Ibiza romance. Homemade pastas and candlelight. Cicale is an Italian countryside restaurant in Santa Gertrudis, known for its changing menu of fresh, seasonal dishes, including dishes made with local ingredients from their own gardens. This ones perfect for date night!
Yenuina (Cala De Bou)
If you want to eat traditional, fresh homemade pasta, prepared on a daily basis in Cala de bou, Yenuina is going to be the place you are looking for. Ask them about their menu del dia for some fantasticly priced, homemade pasta.
Casa Maca (just outside Ibiza Town)
Casa Maca restaurant is a destination in itself, A rustic boutique hotel with a seriously beautiful restaurant and sweeping views. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the menus fuse global cuisine with local, organic ingredients—all grown on their own farm. You can relax to a soundtrack of live artists and DJs playing chillout music with a touch of international influence.
Can Esmerelda (Cala De Bou)
Very simple but gorge seating. A small but cozy indoor area and a quiet and sunny terrace outside. Big plus here: the view of the sea and the sunset. FANTASTIC to watch the sun set here while you dine, with a glass of your preference. Heaven! It’s a Tapas and Mediterranean cuisine. The menu is small but what they serve is really good. The price-quality ratio is also great, with wonderful staff and service :)
Can Nuts (Cala Llonga)
Can Nuts, in Cala Llonga, Santa Eulalia, is one of those places that in which you return for not only for the delicious food or the beautiful decor under the umbrellas.. the service is completely unmatched. It’s very close to the beach and has a small but stunning terrace.
Restaurante Niu Blau (Santa Eularia)
This cute beach front restaurant has an extensive Mediterranean menu, good prices and fab service, for something a little less formal, straight from the beach, if you’re over Santa Eularia way.
The Booo (San Antonio Bay and Ibiza town)
The best burgers on the island in my opinion, certainly the largest burger menu i’ve ever seen! The back garden of The Booo Ibiza town is so cute for a late afternoon/evening burger, but if you have kids, you’ll probably prefer the Cala De Bou one as they have a play area for the kiddies. Worth mentioning.. I’m veggie and they have so many different options for vegetarians it’s so refreshing to see, especially in Spain!!
🎨 Things to Do When You’re Not Hat Shopping..
Raco House
Located away from the island’s noise and in the heart of the Ibizan countryside, surrounded by pines, palm trees, flowers, and orange trees, you will be immersed in a unique experience of peace, connection with nature, and innovative gastronomy. Raco house being primarily a boutique hotel, there is lots to do and always so much fun to be had! If you’d like more of a lively vibe, get yourself booked into the BBQ on a Sunday - you won’t be disappointed.. and that’s from a veggie!!
Atzaró Agroturismo Hotel
A day pass in the Spa of this magical nature-connected estate with unique style and glamour. The thirteen-hectare estate with some of the most beautifully manicured gardens, restaurants, spa, pools, courtyards, terraces, pavilions and vegetable garden. If you need to chill and have some magic down time, i can’t recommend Atzaró enough.
