Almar Ibiza

Long beloved by locals, Talamanca has always been a top-tier destination for lazy seaside gatherings. In recent years however, a smattering of new dining destinations has appeared on the long swathe of golden sand, propelling the locale to newfound must-visit status. Further adding to that bounty this summer is Almar Ibiza, the ultimate laid-back Ibiza beach restaurant, which pays tribute to the simple beauty of Mediterranean living with its mouth-watering menu, impressive design and low-key but vibrant spirit. A place to take a quiet moment for yourself or dive into energetic conversations with friends, it already boasts timeless appeal.

Backed by palm trees and bordered by the windswept promenade that weaves its way from one end of Talamanca to the other, Almar Ibiza’s location directly on the beach offers unrestricted views of the Mediterranean Seaglistening just a few metres away. An expansive Ibiza beach restaurant with both indoor and outdoor space, it blends seamlessly into the salt-kissed surroundings with rustic chic decor that blends a colour palette of creams and oatmeal with luxe natural furnishings in rattan and wood. Have an upright feast at one of the stylish sea-facing tables or settle in for a day of indulgence on a comfy sun lounger, straw-fringed parasol providing shade.

Both options at the Ibiza beach restaurant revolve around the delicious Almar Ibiza menu – inspired by the abundant produce of the Mediterranean and with a plentiful sharing ethos at its heart. Think salty anchovies, fresh oysters, crunchy croquettes and sweet gazpacho to start, followed by exquisite fish and meat dishes and big, nutritious salads to follow. Don’t miss the stuffed calamari and sobrasada (large enough for two and with a few surprise elements!) and remember to save room for traditional Ibicenco desserts like greixonera – the perfect sugary pick-me-up after a sunny afternoon of lounging.

Almar Ibiza is also well-known for its speciality rice dishes. Naturally, that means that classic fish and seafood paella features on the Ibiza beach menu’s menu, but so too, do inventive combinations like creamy crab and shrimp; and country-reared chicken and asparagus. Served in a sizzling pan at your table, seaside dining doesn’t get more evocative than this. Open all year round from midday to 7pm daily, and occasionally home to events (keep your eyes peeled for the Ibiza beach restaurant’s vinyl nights), the perennial vibe here is ultimate chill-out, with a relaxed soundtrack to match. Block out the afternoon and revel in all this easygoing coastal eatery has to offer.
