Cala Mastella is one of those coves that has preserved the spirit of old Ibiza, and its kiosk is a perfect reflection of that essence. This is a place to eat slowly, with uninterrupted sea views and a kitchen that puts the product first.

The absolute star is fresh fish, simply prepared and often accompanied by traditional recipes passed down through generations. Eating here feels almost ceremonial: shared tables, relaxed conversation and the sound of the sea as the only background music.

It’s one of those places locals return to every summer because nothing has changed — and that’s exactly what makes it special.

The Fish Shack doesn’t try to please everyone, and that’s part of its charm. Located on a rocky stretch near Talamanca, this chiringuito is as straightforward as its food: fish of the day, grilled seafood, simple salads and little else.

There’s no long menu and no complicated dishes. You eat what’s available what the sea has delivered that morning. And you do it sitting almost at water level, with open views and a sense of freedom that’s hard to find elsewhere.

It’s a favourite among residents and among those who know that great food doesn’t always come with tablecloths.

Pou des Lleó is synonymous with calm. This small cove on the east coast of the island is one of those places where Ibiza seems to breathe more slowly. Its chiringuito is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxed, almost meditative experience.

Here, the food follows the rhythm of the surroundings: simple dishes, fresh ingredients and an atmosphere that invites you to linger. You’ll often see local families, lifelong friends and people who come precisely because they don’t want to be where everyone else is.

Pou des Lleó is ideal if what you really want is to disconnect, enjoy the sea and let the day unfold without schedules.

On the beach of Cala Nova you’ll find Can Colomaret, one of those chiringuitos that remains true to Ibiza’s original character. There are no frills here, just good produce, a relaxed atmosphere and a perfect setting to spend the entire day.

Can Colomaret is highly appreciated by locals because it combines honest food, friendly service and a beautiful natural setting. Fresh fish, simple rice dishes, crisp salads and plates designed to be shared after a swim in the sea.

It’s one of those places that doesn’t need advertising: once you know it, you come back.

In the Cala de Bou area, Es Puetó is one of those chiringuitos that form part of Ibiza’s everyday history. A simple, authentic place where the experience isn’t about trends, but about sitting by the sea and enjoying the moment at a slower pace.

Its cuisine is Mediterranean and unpretentious, based on fresh fish, seafood and traditional dishes, perfect for sharing after a day at the beach. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and very local, especially at sunset, when the sun drops over the bay and lunch effortlessly turns into a long afternoon.

Es Puetó is the kind of place where you truly understand how Ibiza is lived from the inside: unhurried, well-fed and always facing the sea.

These five places all share something important: they haven’t lost their essence. They are chiringuitos where:

• Fresh produce is the priority
• The surroundings are part of the experience
• Feeling matters more than appearances
• People return because they feel comfortable

This is where you eat well, talk a lot and stare at the sea without checking the time. This is Ibiza when you really know it.

Are these chiringuitos suitable for families and children?
Yes. All of them have a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, ideal for spending the day at the beach with kids.

Do you need to book a table?
In many cases, reservations are not accepted or are very limited. The best approach is to arrive early and go with the flow.

Are they expensive for Ibiza?
Not particularly. These are simple chiringuitos where you pay for the quality of the product and the location, not for luxury.

Can you combine lunch with a full beach day?
Absolutely. That’s the idea: swim, eat, swim again and stretch the day without moving anywhere else.
