Uncover Ibiza's Hidden Charms: Explore Ibiza Town and Savour Delights at La Cava
Although it can be tempting to stay within your own blissful bubble when you’re on holiday — especially when you’re sleeping somewhere as low-key and relaxed as Ibiza hotel Sa Clau in San Antonio — it’s still well worth getting out and exploring the rest of the island. Because yes, Ibiza has a slew of beautiful beaches and stunning sunsets to admire on the west coast, but the rest of the island has plenty more to offer. From pine-clad hills ideal for hiking to tiny villages with tons of character, Ibiza has something to suit everyone.
Dalt Vila, Ibiza:
One place that shouldn’t be missed is Ibiza town, the island’s ancient capital. Home to Dalt Vila, a Medieval fortress that’s also a Unesco World Heritage Site, its charming cobbles streets are packed with shops, restaurants and bars that provide a bustling experience that’s completely different to laid-back seaside life. Grab an ice cream and wander the ancient pathways, take a stroll along the pretty port full of super yachts, or head up into the castle for incredible views of the city down below.
La Cava Restaurant:
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, make a beeline for Ibiza restaurant La Cava on Vara de Rey, Ibiza town’s busy main square that’s perfect for balmy alfresco dinners combined with a healthy dose of people watching. Dine with a partner and dive into delicious sharing plates like crunchy calamari, creamy Russian salad, and yummy meatballs in tomato sauce, or La Cava specialities including hearty chicken shawarma, tender roast beef sandwich, or fresh vegetables cooked and chargrilled to perfection in a Josper oven. Wash it all down with a bowl-sized gin and tonic, ice-cold cocktail, or a fruity jug of cava Sangria.
La Cava Gourmet Shop:
Feast complete, head next door to the excellent La Cava gourmet shop, where you can stock up on speciality food and drink items, or if you’re feeling generous, take them home as souvenirs. Line your shelves with products from Ibiza and Spain like olive oil, Iberico ham, and bottles of handpicked wines. It’s every foodie’s dream come true.
