Luxury The craziest breakfast in Ibiza and other gastronomic sins of Ushuaïa
Tour The five most beautiful fishing villages in Spain
It's the party island.
And that doesn't change (at least at all) when summer evaporates.
Not in vain, the famous season closures of Ibiza's nightclubs at the
end of October
gather more and more followers than the openings in May.
But the rhythm is different.
And the prices, too.
Therefore, whoever cannot afford a getaway in August to
jump from cove to cove on a yacht
;
eat lobster at the exclusive Beso Beach beach bar;
enjoy the provocative show at the Lío restaurant-cabaret, in the heart of the Pitiusa capital's marina;
throw an
epic party at Hï - the number one club in the world, according to the most widely read
electronic music
magazine on
the planet,
DJ Mag
-, or sleeping at the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel -an icon of the island and its most famous hotel on an international level-, has a second chance with the arrival of autumn.
Two people practice canoeing in the waters of the island.
The latter can cut the cost of some of its suites in half.
Starting with
the largest in all of Ibiza,
the presidential
I'm on the top of the world
(214 square meters), which in high season can cost around 10,000 euros per night.
Within its (soundproof) walls, guests can even record a demo on their mixing desk.
Or hire the services of a DJ (
David Guetta,
for example) for a private session.
In addition, it has a meeting room, dressing room, (mega) jacuzzi on the (mega) terrace with sea views, a 24-hour butler... For a reason, characters like
Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, Adrien Brody
or the aforementioned French DJ (He has his own event at the hotel,
F*** me I'm famous!
) have woken up in it.
The 'I'm of the top of the world' suite, the largest on the island.
October is also the time to enjoy a gastronomic tribute in any of the themed restaurants of this flagship of the Palladium group without reserving months in advance.
From the
Japanese Minami
to the
Montauk
steakhouse
, both considered the best on the Pitiusa island in their respective specialties, sushi and meat, passing through
The Oyster and Caviar Bar,
where apart from the star products that give it its name, you have to try "the ceviches and the wagyu burger", recommendation of the hotel's own executive chef, Ismael Fernández Muñoz.
The funniest breakfast
The Italian
Sir Rocco Beach Trattoria would
be missing (beware of its burrata and its handmade prawn ravioli).
Without forgetting the fun breakfast
The Unexpected Breakfast
, a gourmet madness in the form of a fair (with a Ferris wheel and everything: the one with sweets) with a thousand and one stalls of Cinco Jotas ham, tortillas, kebab (yes, kebab; and everyone repeats ...),
chocolate with churros, caviar
, salads, vegan
delicatessen
, yogurts, cakes, donuts, juices, champagne... All in one.
Lunch at the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel beach club.
The culinary plans (without a waiting list) continue with the seafood paellas at
La Escollera
, the classic restaurant on Es Cavallet beach, in the
heart of the Ses Salines Natural Park
;
the grilled meats at Can Balafia (unpretentious, with quality), in Sant Joan de Labritja;
or the luxury gastronomic show designed by chef Paco Roncero (two Michelin stars) for only 12 guests at
Sublimotion
, at the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza.
Note: this is the most expensive menu in the world, at a rate of 1,500 euros per person.
FROM COVE TO COVE
Not everything is going to be eating in this Balearic paradise.
The end of summer is also designed for kayaking without crowds or lying in the sun without towels piling up, either on the very long beaches of San Vicente, Talamanca and d'en Bossa or in front of the turquoise waters of
Cala Tarida, Cala Llonga, Cala Saladeta Cala Bossa
, surrounded by a charming pine forest.
Anyone who wants to go out after bathing (or during) can go to Benirrás, to the north, where the sunset is seen in front of the
islet of Cap Bernat
to the rhythm of drums, beaten by dozens of percussionists (in August, hundreds) as a ritual since the 70s. Reminiscences of that
hippy Ibiza
that still persists today.
Las Dalias market stall, in San Carlos.
As an example of that time, the mythical
market of Las Dalias
stands out , in San Carlos.
It is not only possible to stock up on vaporous white dresses, raffia bags, necklaces and bracelets, but it also has restaurants,
food trucks
, bars and cafes, activities of all kinds (from astronomical workshops to yoga classes,
readings of the tarot or artistic exhibitions
) and sessions of live music or to the beat of a dj.
In short, Ibiza in its purest form out of season.
