I’m British, but I’m going to refrain from commenting on Americans’ pronunciation of Ibiza. While there are differing linguistic camps, there’s a worldwide consensus that Ibiza is where the party is and has always been.
The sun-soaked Spanish island has long been a pilgrimage spot for hard-partying, dance-music lovers, but step beyond the maniacal clubbers, and you’ll find a chilled, boho-glam destination bursting with sleek beach clubs and idyllic towns.
If the Balearic Island’s softer side intrigues you, read on. These are the best beach clubs in Ibiza.
Amante Ibiza
Location: Cala Llonga
Price: $$$$
The rundown: Impossibly well-located on a cliff overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, Amante is a fortress of serenity. Hectic beach parties are replaced with moonlight movie nights (these come with a glass of Cava, of course), hair of the dog cocktails are switched with group yoga classes, and true relaxation is achieved.
Make sure to book well in advance (like, months), because it’s extremely popular. The food is locally sourced Spanish cuisine, the drinks are impeccable, and the service is sincere. Don’t miss out on a day here. It’s one of the best beach clubs in Ibiza.
El Chiringuito
Location: Cavallet Beach
Price: $$$$
The rundown: For a chilled-out Ibiza experience, morning, afternoon, or night, El Chiringuito is unbeatable. A stunning location on Playa Es Cavallet is only matched by its sumptuous Mediterranean food, endless drinks list, and no-expenses-spared beach loungers.
There are even options if you’re traveling with kids. Little Chiringuitos will keep them occupied with arts, crafts, and fun in the sand while you tuck into your lunch nearby. You’re on vacation—you deserve a few minutes to yourself.
Blue Marlin
Location: Cala Jondal
Price: $$$$
The rundown: At the other end of the spectrum is Blue Marlin. A renowned party spot, a broad array of international DJs, like David Guetta, have played sessions here. During the day there’s a playful but relaxing atmosphere where light lunches, cocktails, and massages are the norm. But the music kicks up a notch by nightfall, and the party starts.
Thanks to its super yacht service, it’s hugely popular with the ultra-wealthy. There’s a jetty with a smaller boat waiting to head out to the gargantuan ships to pick up their owners. The food is a cool mix of sushi and Mediterranean, and the indoor club is a winner late into the night.
Cotton Beach Club
Location: Posta del Sol
Price: $$$$
The rundown: One of the more exclusive beach clubs on the list, Cotton is a top spot for celeb-spotting. Channeling Santorini with its flashing white everything and cliffside location, it’s hard to imagine a more relaxing spot to spend the day.
The food is top-notch, and its wine selection is supposedly the best in Ibiza, but don’t sleep on their well-respected house cocktails. Evening beats keep the chilled-out atmosphere going, perfect for watching the sunset, drink in hand with your pals or loved ones. Just make sure to book way in advance.
Tanit Beach Ibiza
Location: Bossa Beach
Price: $$$$
The rundown: Another one of the best beach clubs in Ibiza for families, Tanit Beach comes with a dedicated childcare service, allowing you to enjoy the plethora of adult-centric entertainment on hand with no worries. Outstanding food takes pride of place during the day, while the in-house cocktails have built a reputation for themselves.
At night, guests can expect fire shows, belly dancers, and chilled DJ sets. If you’re searching for a bigger party, just head next door to its sister property, Nassau, one of the liveliest destinations in Ibiza.
Sunset Ashram
Location: Cala Conta
Price: $$$$
The rundown: With a shout at being the best beach club in Ibiza for watching the sunset, a day spent at Sunset Ashram lives long in the memory. Perched on one of the least developed and most idyllic beaches on the island, Ashram has tossed aside some of the pretension that many of the other beach clubs have embraced.
The result is a truly laid-back experience, with excellent, varied food, wonderful service, and world-class cocktails on offer. Even if you just swing by for an hour or two, it’s more than worth it.
