Es Savina represents the best of what Ibiza has to offer in a chilled out, low-key and naturally splendid ambiance. Unbelievably delicious food, gorgeous surroundings, delightful family service, original entertainment and multiple forms of pampering—all come naturally at Es Savina.

Es Savina appears like an oasis in the middle of Cala Jondal. Sheltered by centenary Spanish juniper woods, the restaurant was among the very first to appear on the now world-famous beach, slowly creating lush gardens in the shade of the typical Ibiza trees. No matter what time of summer, a sense of harmony and serenity reigns supreme here. Almost entirely composed of materials found in the area, the venue fuses within its environment by making it part of both the inside and outside décor. The trees become part of the tables, mementos from the sea and island decorate the interiors, herbs grown onsite garnish the dishes while walls and pathways are made of the stones cleared out when the restaurant was built. With a drop-dead gorgeous sea view, stunning surroundings and natural shade, this insider secret provides an oasis within an oasis.

Also in line with local ways and tradition, Es Savina offers the best of island cuisine. Using locally sourced ingredients, the family-run restaurant brings 25 years of experience to the table—pun intended—growing from Mediterranean to traditional Ibicencan dishes that have been perfected with the years of experience, dedication and creativity of two generations. Specialising in seafood and meat, as well as numerous veggie options, the restaurant offers island favourites with family-secret twists that bring about intense flavours while remaining light and wholesome. Boasting what many consider the best paella on the island, Es Savina excels at all local dishes, as well as offering a selection of special drinks and cocktails and a second menu from its own chiringuito Alegría.

Besides its fine island cuisine and splendid beach, Es Savina provides a full experience of both entertainment and relaxation depending on the time and day. While the chiringuito serves a vast variety of both healthful smoothies and sinful cocktails with cool salsa tunes as background music, Saturday nights the venue becomes one of the few spots in Ibiza playing live music for an idiosyncratic night out. Also on the premises, an open-air boutique displays a lovely collection of clothes, accessories and knickknacks made in Ibiza or Bali. For the ultimate relaxation treat, a fairy tale hut brings professional Thai massages to the soothing seafront retreat.

Whether enjoying the delectable food, which can also be served directly on the beach, sipping a cocktail at the chiringuito or simply taking in the lovely view, one cannot but be blown away by the natural beauty of Es Savina. Offering the best of island life, Es Savina provides a plush experience while lacking any of the pretension, a definite pit stop for anyone who wants to enjoy the authentic Ibicencan lifestyle and rhythms.
