The Best Restaurants on the West Coast of Ibiza

Cala Conta. We love this place. It’s just wonderfully Ibiza. A slightly hippy vibe, with a DJ playing in the background, great cocktails and a pretty good Asian Med blend menu as you see the sun melt into the sea. The best sunset spot on the island? Without a doubt in our humble opinion. Slightly slow service in the peak months of  summer. A nice beach to spend the day too with Formentera-esque turquoise waters. Family friendly and very laid back. Definitely come for a cocktail at the very least.                                

Cala Tarida.This is Cala Tarida’s most stylish and striking restaurant and beach club. The restaurant is somewhat elevated from the beach with about 50 steps up that need to be climbed but it means the views are fantastic. Offering a very good Mediterranean menu, and a lovely setting to enjoy a lunch or dinner, and a fantastic sunset. Highly recommended.                

Cala Vadella. Bon Sol is a fun beachside family restaurant which ticks a lot of boxes especially for the kids. Mediterranean Italian food with a focus on pizzas in the very pleasant surroundings of Cala Vadella right in the middle of the beach.                        

Cala Gracioneta. The only restaurant in this pretty little sandy bay. It’s a wonderful spot for a high quality long lunch or an early dinner. The food is great, the location amazing and there is an intimate fun atmosphere. We thoroughly recommend the overall experience. Take note though; this tiny beach has a tiny parking area which fills up fast and can be hard to get in and out of. In peak season go very early or park further away and walk. 

Cala Conta. Located just off the famous, paradise beach, with stunning views over the turquoise waters to the island with which it shares the name. There is a large terrace under dappled shade where you can enjoy some very good seafood. The best food on the beach.                                

Cala Conta. Another great option on this beautiful slice of coast. Serving up good local seafood dishes and enjoying lovely views over one side of Cala Conta and its pristine waters. Immediately from the restaurant there are steps leading down to a lovely little bay to swim, although the glass bottom ferry boats do stop here so it can go from calm to chaos in a second. The restaurant often hosts private events so is sometimes not open.

Cala d’Hort. In terms of quality of the arroces y paellas this is perhaps the best of the three Cala d’Hort restaurants. It also has stunning views over the sea to Es Vedra, but it doesn’t have easy access to the beach and is in fact a 5 to 10 minute drive inland to link with the main beach. It’s a lovely spot but if a beach restaurant is what you are after then this is not for you. Fantastic for an early dinner. 

Cala Bassa is a beautiful west coast bay with perfect swimming water and lovely sand. The beach club is a very good place to head with young kids. It can get busy in mid July and August when the glass bottom boats come in from San Antonio, but otherwise it’s a lovely spot to enjoy a day. There are three different restaurants, all run by CbbC, from the high end (middle) to a very simple snack bar (far end). Our favourite is the first one as you arrive from the beach entrance. 

Cala Carbo. The two restaurants in the pretty little bay of Cala Carbo are carbon copies in terms of the menu. Both offer typical Spanish seafood and family friendly, in fact the owners are cousins. A great place for a relaxed low key meal. Restaurante Cala Carbo just gets the vote as it is closer to the water.
