Experimental Beach Ibiza

Overlooking the glass-still salt flats of Ses Salines is Experimental Beach Ibiza, a gastronomic gem and long-term island icon, where music, sea views, cocktails and cuisine converge for lazy days and enchanted evenings. Untouched by development, this Ibiza beach restaurant is renowned for its secluded location at the end of a dusty winding camino that leads to spellbinding views of Es Vedra. This off-the-beaten-track escape is all about lazy days spent reclining on powder blue sunbeds, indulgent lunches with friends that melt into kaleidoscopic sunsets and evenings bursting with sumptuous cocktails and a deliciously Mediterranean-inspired menu.

Stepping into Experimental Beach Ibiza is like entering a lavish bohemian paradise. Soft blue and turquoise furnishings reflect the crystal tones of the Mediterranean backdrop while sun-bleached white timber sets a seaside vibe. The understated nautical theme blends perfectly with the surrounding coastal beauty of the natural park of Ses Salines, a refreshing departure from the typical Ibiza beach restaurant aesthetic. The welcoming and attentive team ensures that every guest feels part of the Experimental Group family, serving up a warm friendly Balearic energy that makes it a must-visit spot.

At the heart of the Experimental Beach Ibiza culinary experience is executive chef Alex Larrea, whose Basqueheritage infuses the locally-inspired Ibiza beach restaurant menu with the spirit of pintxos and the virtues of sharing. Larrea’s philosophy is rooted in fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from the island’s local producers, farmers and fishermen. His Mediterranean spin on classic dishes brings vibrant, authentic flavours that never fail to hit the culinary mark.

Start with delectable ham croquettes, flame-grilled eggplant, and a garden-fresh Ibizan tomato salad, and then the Ibiza beach restaurant‘s sea bass baked in a salt crust is a must-try for seafood lovers – and it’s also perfect for sharing. The main courses at Experimental Beach Ibiza are equally impressive, with highlights including the grilled country chicken with kimchi or succulent prime dry-aged rib. Each dish reflects Larrea’s dedication to quality and a true passion for local, sustainable ingredients.

The cocktail menu at Experimental Beach Ibiza is as innovative as the cuisine. Choose from the intriguingly named Moustache Paloma with Tequila, Campari and grapefruit or the Señor Carota, where Pisco is infused with cardamon and carrot. If you’re looking for some soothing post-party recovery, then hit the sunbeds with a Bloody Loic and allow the gentle swish of the waves and the soft sea breeze to lull you into a rejuvenating pre-lunch siesta.  The classic beach club vibe and stunning natural location set the scene for a perfect Balearic beach day, and while staying for the sunset is highly recommended but the Ibiza beach restaurant’s true charm shines bright from day to dusk, then again after dark when dinner is served!
