A full circle moment – Juntos Ibiza

A full circle moment – Juntos Ibiza

Words Danni Landa

This exciting new island collective reimagines food, community and connection.

It may not seem obvious to holidaymakers at first, but beneath the gloss and glamour of Ibiza’s entrepreneurial spirit lies a deep commitment to protecting and supporting the island’s delicate ecosystems. The best way for visitors and locals to enjoy, participate in and learn about this is through Juntos Ibiza. Combining three distinct but interconnected projects – Juntos FarmJuntos House and Juntos Deli – this talented collective has quietly become one of the island’s most inspiring stories. Every vegetable harvested at the farm, every meal served at the restaurant and every coffee brewed at the deli forms part of a bigger vision.

While visitors may first fall for the food, the beautiful settings, the adorable goats or the sense of belonging, there’s something even more meaningful happening behind the scenes. Juntos Ibiza is strengthening connections between the land, the people who farm it and the people who enjoy its bounty. The result is an experience that reveals the truth about Ibiza – this is an island that is generous, welcoming and optimistically working towards a healthy, happy future.

Founded in 2018 by Christian Jochnick and Sophie Daunais, and later joined by Finn HarriesJuntos Farm was born from a desire to rebuild Ibiza’s local food systems through regenerative agriculture. Over time, the soil healed, thousands of trees were planted and the farm began to yield produce of such exceptional quality that the trio expanded the concept to embrace two eateries, a programme of events and workshops and a warm and growing community.

Join the Juntos Farm crew for guided tours to learn directly about regenerative practices. Get your hands dirty during Field Days, where participants help out with planting and other seasonal tasks, or bring your whole gang for Family Harvest, when everyone from the the littlest visitors to the abuelos can get closer to the source of the island’s finest produce and take something delicious home.

For a truly exceptional gastronomic experience (and a great date night idea), book a seat at Juntos Farm Tasting Room. Here, a series of gourmet plates built around the week’s harvest are served alongside delectable cocktails and natural wines, as guests sink into comfy lounges and oversized cushions beneath the outdoor canopy, relishing dinner under the stars.

A short drive away, on the edge of Santa Gertrudis, Juntos Deli brings the same philosophy as the farm into everyday island life. This cute and welcoming space has quickly become a favourite spot for breakfast with exceptional coffees, healthy juices and indulgent pastries guaranteed to start your day right. The counter groans under the weight of hearty salads and tasty flavour combinations such as Cajun chicken with black rice; fregola pasta puttanesca; and baguettes stuffed with all kinds of deli-style goodness.

The shelves at Juntos Deli are stocked with farm-fresh organic produce, natural wines and pantry staples sourced from the farm and other trusted local producers. Fill your shopping basket with homemade jams, an array of cheese, organic condiments, herbal infusions and a selection of sweet treats, along with a selection of pre-prepared snacks and meals. Whether picking up ingredients for a villa lunch, grabbing provisions for a beach day or simply savouring breakfast with friends, Juntos Deli is a joyful hub where the Juntos Ibiza ethos is fully realised.

A little further up the road, in San Mateo, the elegant Juntos House is one of the island’s most romantic restaurants. Set within a beautifully restored 19th-century farmhouse, this stunning eatery is surrounded by lush gardens and pristine pine forest. The stone dining terrace is strung with golden festoon lights and as the moon rises into the starry sky, the ambience takes on an almost ethereal quality. Here, ingredients harvested from Juntos Farm are transformed into dishes that celebrate the seasons, matched with an inspired cocktail list and a carefully curated Mediterranean wine cellar.

Diners can expect dishes such as tempura zucchini flowers with ricotta and kale pesto; tender grilled Formentera squid with spicy fennel and a creamy saffron beurre blanc; and the now-legendary lamb shoulder with baby potatoes, tangy red mojo and a zesty kale salad. Don’t miss dessert, especially the sugar bomb hit of the ultra-luscious chocolate mousse with pistachio and extra virgin olive oil. After dinner, explore the magical world of Juntos Boutique, where carefully selected fashion, handcrafted jewellery, unique homewares and ingenious gifts reflect the same thoughtful approach found throughout the wider Juntos Ibiza world.

What makes Juntos Ibiza a truly inspirational ecosystem of ideas is the relationship between each of its parts. The vegetables growing in the fields find their way onto restaurant menus and deli shelves. Guests who first arrive for a coffee discover a plethora of goods from like-minded suppliers. Diners who fall in love with a dish at the restaurant gain a deeper appreciation for the land where its ingredients were grown. Each element supports the others, creating a circular system that is focused on the wellbeing of the land and all those who share it. Through regenerative farming, genuine hospitality and an enduring commitment to community, Juntos Ibiza has created something really special. It starts with the soil and ends with connection, leaving everyone who encounters it a little more whole.
