Monkey Ibiza

The west coast of Ibiza is an iconic Ibiza sunset destination renowned across the world for kaleidoscopic skies that dissolve into the Mediterranean Sea at dusk. But what few insiders share is that this stunning stretch of coastline is also a fast-rising foodie hotspot boasting some of the most innovative new restaurants on the island. Monkey Ibiza is one of the latest additions to that crowd. A French-inspired Ibiza sunset restaurant with Balearic soul, it’s adding a fresh culinary dimension to the sundown experience while still offering front row seats to the show.

Located on the San Antonio promenade that hugs the picturesque coastline, it’s easy to spend hours at Monkey Ibiza at any time of day, gazing out at the rippling turquoise waters that gently crest in the breeze. Guests can enjoy the beach club facilities between the hours of 1pm and 6pm, with Day Pass prices ranging from 25€ to 50€ per person including a Balinese bed or sunbed, towel service and a refreshing complimentary drink. Dotted with boho-inspired bamboo furniture, camel-shaded parasols and banana palm trees, the sophisticated alfresco terrace at is the perfect place for snacking and sipping cocktails, particularly at sunset when golden hour descends in front of the Ibiza sunset restaurant and its panoramic vistas seem to take on an otherworldly glow.

Fabulous food brings visitors flocking to this hip Ibiza sunset restaurant too, having firmly cemented its place on the island’s gastronomic map since it opened in 2021. Open daily from 1pm to 2am, the Monkey Ibiza menu is centred on fresh, seasonal and local produce, paying homage to authentic Mediterranean flavours that are simple but cooked exceptionally well. Think starters like the creamy guacamole, or beef tartare made with homemade harissa mayonnaise and fried capers; try the grilled squid with persillade and chorizo, or the now-famous, fire-roasted eggplant served with tahini and pomegranate.

Select cuts of meat and fish are of the finest quality at Monkey Ibiza too. Try the Ibiza sunset restaurant’s grilled octopus served with sriracha, mini corn and flame avocado, or the mouth-watering shoulder of lamb confit (for two people) that’s cooked for seven hours and comes with homemade fingerling potatoes, garlic, thyme and harissa. Desserts include the ever-so sweet French toast served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and for cocoa lovers, the chocolate fondant is a dream come true. Cocktails are works of art, such as the punchy but oh-so-simple Bianca made with vodka, vanilla, lime and a touch of passion fruit.

On Friday and Saturday nights throughout the summer season, the Ibiza sunset restaurant’s burlesque-with-a-twist night, Cabaret Sauvage, channels the most time-stopping moments in cinema, theatre and popular culture. This year, the immersive experience is led by artistic director Shadia Erazade, a critically acclaimed choreographer and performer. With the help of an über-talented team, the spectacle brings a dose of glamour, fantasy and visual storytelling to the stunning interior after dark.

A sophisticated setting with prime sunset credentials and an eclectic soundtrack that matches its menu in prestige, Monkey Ibiza is the perfect low-key, high vibe Ibiza sunset restaurant. Settle into a chair and behold as the beauty of nature unfolds before you and plate after plate of delicious fare appears at your table. Cool off in the pool after your meal, and if you decide to linger even longer into the night, there’s also a secret nightclub tucked away within the upper-level interior – all the more reason to visit.
