Hello everyone, I recently traveled to Ibiza for what seemed to be a never-ending story. I was scheduled to be on the Island for six days which later became eight days, which later became two weeks. The Island has this incredible energy and unique way of keeping you there, especially when you are surrounded by great people who share the same passion and love for life as I do. On this trip to Ibiza, I was able to go on many adventures and visit places that I had not seen before so I felt inclined to let my followers know about the top five places that I visited and discovered on this magical adventure that left me memories that I will never forget.
1. Cala San Vicente
Located in Portinarx, Ibiza on the North of the Island, Cala San Vicente offers amazing clear waters and with a golden curved beach that is just breathtaking. It sits in between two cliffs and reminds you a bit of the Amalfi Coast. There are plenty of bars and restaurants that serve fresh seafood and paella. Make sure to check out this stunning location and take a picture on top of the cliff but, be careful because the spot where you can take an amazing scenic shot is also road where cars go up and down the beach. So, keep an watchful eye!
2. Chezz Gerdi
Chezz Gerdi is an amazing restaurant located on the Island of Formentera. To arrive you must take either the ferry or charter a private boat. When you arrive at Chezz Gerdi it feels as if you are walking into your own back yard. The service, food, and environment make the experience feel like you are at home. The menu has a variety of dishes that range from paella, pizza & pasta to deliciously made fresh fish. This was my first time at the restaurant, and I must say that I will be going back.
3. PIKES IBIZA
Pikes is an icon of the Island! Located in San Antonio this rock ‘n’ roll sanctuary has been a playground for locals, tourist, and celebrities since it opened it doors. It’s both a hotel and restaurant where one can lounge and just let go. One of the most spectacular things about Pikes is the decor. A giant pink tennis court and artwork all around makes this amazing place feel like you are in another world. I cannot stress this enough, the view to the city, its simply breath taking. This is a must go when you are on the Island.
4. IL GELATO del Marchese
I found myself completely forgetting about my diet and going here daily. IL GELATO del Marchese is an old Italian ice creamer located in Passeig De Vara de Rey across from SEPHORA. This ice cream one of my favorite places to grab a scope and people watch. The pistachio flavor has become an addiction of mine now and I sometime must walk down the adjacent street just to avoid looking at the shop because if not I will surely go in. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
5. Club Hipico Cuadras es Puig
If you love horses and want to saddle up, then head over to Club Hipico Cuadras es Puig. Located in San Gertrudis you will find these fantastic stables with an amazing staff that is extremely friendly and a family environment. They gives horseback riding classes for people of all ages and also take you on an amazing trail. What so unique about this experience is not just that you get to go riding but, you also get to experience what it’s like to own a horse. After your riding session is done you are given the task of bathing, brushing, and feeding the horse. These massive creatures are so gentle and therapeutic that you feel at one with them. You can instantly feel how the horses develop a connection with humans. Make sure to arrive early in the morning because after 11am it gets very hot when riding!
6. Cala Olivera (Santa Eulalia del Río)
One of the coolest little coves I have ever been too Cala Olivera is about 15 minuets from Jesus. You drive up to Roca Llisa until you reach the rocky, bumpy road, make a right and down you go into Cala Oivera. It’s a small beach surrounded by nature with very transparent water. The fish swim right up to you and nibble on your feet which can be scary at times but, it’s a great laugh when you’re in the water with friends. There is a great little chiringuito called H20 that was recently remodeled that has amazing calamarie and patas brava! Tell them Miss Nine sent you
7. El DESEO (Jesus)
If you like nachos as much as I do then you need to head over to DESEO. This amazing Mexican eatery has some of the best carne con chile nachos you will ever have. It has a Tulum like decor that makes you feel right at home! They also serve amazing carne asada tacos which are to die for and an amazing fish ceviche. If you are craving Mexican food this is will for sure be your spot!
8. WILD BEETS
This cool little healthy eatery is in San Gertrudis. Wild Beets is a light-filled restaurant offering organic, locally sourced, healthy food. They are committed to the nutritional content of each plate and make sure that your taste buds make you want more. Fresh, organic plant-based food light the up the menu for a food experience you won’t want to miss. Try the chickpea omelet and let me know if you liked it as much as I did.
9. ZARA IBIZA
Okay, I know what you are thinking…. this is a shameless plug but, it’s not. The ZARA in Ibiza has things that no other ZARA in the world has. It’s as if the line for ZARA Ibiza is specifically designed for the locals on the Island. You will find linen pants and shirts of all colors and these hippie scarves that make you want dress as if you live on the Island all year long. If you don’t believe me than I urge you to go and when you walk out with bags full of clothe that you can only wear in Ibiza don’t say I did not warn you.
