8 must-visit beach clubs in Ibiza and Formentera
Ibiza’s reputation as a party island is well earned, but its daytime allure deserves equal attention. The island is dotted with beach clubs that combine exquisite food, oceanfront views, and carefully curated atmospheres ,places where yachts drift lazily offshore, the cava is always cold, and the soundtrack of the Mediterranean accompanies every meal. Some of these venues are iconic, attracting celebrities and the international jet set, while others are secreted away in hidden coves, discovered only by the intrepid visitor. Here is a guide to Ibiza’s most compelling beach clubs, from venerable classics to hidden gems.
El Chiringuito

#FLODown: El Chiringuito is the sort of place that makes you believe in instant nostalgia. Nestled on the sands of Es Cavallet, the daybeds are pristine, terraces offer just the right amount of shade for a leisurely lunch, and the food is treated with the reverence of a Michelin-starred restaurant, without any of the stiffness. Think oysters glinting in the sun, truffle eggs almost worth the airfare alone, and cocktails served with a flourish, while DJs spin gently in the background, just loud enough to remind you that Ibiza is never far from a beat. It’s cool for its perfect blend of sun, sea and food you’ll be bragging about for months.

Amante

#FLODown: Set in a secluded cove, Amante is the cinematic version of a beach club: cliffside terraces tumble toward the waves, and the multi-level restaurant looks like it was lifted straight from a travel magazine. Its menu leans Mediterranean, offering a variety of fresh dishes throughout the day. Morning yoga classes set a relaxed tone, while evenings host open-air cinema nights where a glass of cava accompanies the sunset. It’s as much about the dramatic setting as the food, and the combination of space, sea views, and thoughtful design makes it as calming as it is beautiful.

Cotton Beach Club

#FLODown: Cotton Beach Club is immediately identifiable by its gleaming white interiors and cliff-top terraces. It is the sort of place where lunch feels like an event, with carefully prepared dishes and expertly mixed cocktails. A terrace overlooking the Mediterranean provides endless views, while the house DJ keeps a low-key, sophisticated soundtrack flowing. Arriving by yacht? A private tender will ferry you directly to the steps leading up from the beach. The club is polished without ever feeling contrived, with the view, the food, and the service all contributing to the experience.

#FLODown: Accessible only by boat, Beso Beach in Formentera feels like stepping into another world. The sand is soft, the water impossibly clear, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxed. With fresh seafood prepared daily and paella cooked over open flames, the rhythm of the waves sets the pace of the afternoon. Its casual sophistication, feet in the sand, a rosé in hand, and conversations stretching lazily into the evening, makes Beso Beach a hidden oasis just a short hop from Ibiza.
