Bambuddha Ibiza

Stroll beneath a canopy of bamboo, past watchful stone statues and snake your way around the grand estate that is Bambuddha Ibiza, where flushes of Ibiza luxe and an über-cool crowd sit among ancient sexual artefacts and sultry, sumptuous furnishings. Lovingly created by owner John Moon in 1999, this Ibiza fine dining restaurant is a temple in which to host deluxe dinners and special occasions, starting with signature cocktails that boast tantalising names like the Tantra, the Flirtini and the Bamboozle, to be sipped languidly in the legendary Tantra Cocktail Palace.

Bambuddha Ibiza is world-renowned for its delicious trademarked MediterrAsian menu, designed to be relished sharing style. The Ibiza restaurant’s conscious ethos means 90-percent of the vegetables used in each delectable plate are grown on the island, while the very best organic meat and sustainably farmed fish are vital ingredients in a range of other mouthwatering options.

The raw section of the menu at Bambuddha Ibiza is bursting with innovative flavour combinations.
