Cala Gracioneta is a beautiful secluded cove, situated just outside of San Antonio. It's well hidden, so head for Cala Gracio (it's touristy big brother) and on foot, follow the rocky headland around and into the next bay. Here you'll find an interesting mixture of locals, but more importantly peace and quiet, fine golden sands, and clear, warm shallow water; ideal for kids learning to snorkel, or adults winding down from the previous night. As if you need another reason to spend the day here, El Chiringuito is an authentic cafe/bar serving seriously good Cava Sangria and the best Paella on the island. Relax under the shade of the trees - eat, drink and enjoy the views!
2K North of San Antonio. You can walk or catch the no.1 bus to Cala Gracio.

For me, choosing which beach to recommend in Spain is so easy it's a joke. On the north coast of the party island Ibiza is one of the most peaceful, idyllic beaches I have ever been to. Situated in a shallow, sheltered cove with cliffs and fishing huts, Cala D'en Serra is only about 20m wide but is absolutely stunning and I've never shared the beach with more than five other people. Chilled perfection!
Just north of Portinatx. Keep an eye out for a sign on the main road that leads you down a dirt track.

I went to a wedding in Ibiza and was blown away by the quality of the event and especially the soundsystem, the best I've heard outside of a club. If you're planning such an event I can't recommend these guys enough. Honest plug for a brilliant sound system.
Space has long been an institution for Ibiza and celebrated its 20th year in the business this year. There's no doubt it's expensive for both entry and drinks but it's an experience you never forget.
on the sundays you get the wonder between five rooms, Carl cox on Tuesday blows everyone else away and don't even get me started on the opening party and closing parties - they are huge.

I recently went on holiday to Ibiza and found this amazing secret hideway restaurant called Amante, set on a clifftop overlooking the beach. The staff were really friendly, the location was stunning and the food was outstanding.

Aguas Blancas means White Waters and is a beautiful beach on the east side of Ibiza with brown sand and a high rock wall behind the beach.
Aguas Blancas is also the name of the sandy-floored restaurant that offer its service in this beach.
I recommend it for three reasons:
- I love the beach and the view there
- Sensational paellas
- Home made ice cream! :-)
This is not a mainstream places like many in Ibiza, but a nice place to see and eat on the east side of the island.

Cap D'es Falco is a restaurant situated in the protected national park of Ses Salines, close to Es Cavallet Beach, in the South of Ibiza.
Sunsets here are simply beautiful, the white light surrounding the restaurant makes it perfect for a romantic dinner or a wedding party.
I would suggest to try the home-cooked Italian cuisine and delicious desserts, otherwise some grilled meat accompanied with some spanish wine.
I think the Cardamom Club is the only restaurant in Ibiza that deserves to be considered master in true Indian Cusine.
Cardamom Club restaurant is situated in Santa Eularia Des Riu (this is the Catalàn name, the spanish name is Santa Eulalia Del Rio) on the east side of Ibiza, 15 km from Eivissa (Ibiza town).
Definitely a place to go for a trip on the beautiful east side of the island, a calmer place with a little more mature crowd.

Bacchus is restaurant situated in the tiny town Santa Gertrudis in the center of Ibiza.
It's open all the year round and it's located in one of the oldest fincas in Santa Gertrudis.
The wine list is excellent, is not a case this restaurant has been named after the Roman God of Wine!
The food menu is quite exotic, with a mixture of Mediterranean and Asian cuisine.
I recommend to go to Bacchus to have a delightful dining experience and to take a look at Santa Gertrudis: a very small town but well known for its nice restaurants and their good food.

Ushuaia is a new stylish place in Playa D'en Bossa.
During the day it's a restaurant and beach lounge with VIP beds and rustic thatched umbrellas.
In the night it becomes a playground for beach parties with well known DJs as Tania Vulcano, Luciano and David Morales.
I like it because of its interior design and good parties. I suggest to everyone to go and have a boogie!

Cicale is an italian restaurant situated in the center of Ibiza, on the road to San Joan, close to San Lorenzo.
Between all the restaurants I've been in Ibiza, Cicale is one of the ones I liked most because of the delicate plates and good meat and I didn't spend much (well it was in November, but I don't think they change the prices a lot in the summer).

A great agroturismo hideaway. Not too big, with a decent pool and rooms with terraces - although more rooms are being built. Great service with thoughtful staff, although limited "room service"
30 mins from everywhere, yet quiet and a wonderful place to relax. Perhaps a little overpriced however thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
Amidst the chaos of San Antonio, there is a fine restaurant. You may feel initially you are entering the king of kitsch, however the food is excellent with an obligatory cool band playing.
Fantastic cliff side restaurant - fun staff, mohito driven sunsets and unusually good value
