Over 200 years ago the current owners family built a finca at the edge of this beautiful natural beach and bay with traditional metre thick walls and ancient Sabina beams. It must have been paradise?

Almost 30 years ago, with the advent of tourism, the family decided to share their paradise with the rest of the world, but on their own terms. They opened a small and exclusive restaurant surrounded by natural pines and campo and thus a naturally enclosed terrace cooled by the ‘breeze from the sea' (Brisa de la Mar), that carries the scent of the surrounding pines and wild campo herbs intermingled with the smell of the sea itself.

It has long been an Ibicenco tradition that on Saturdays and Sundays families congregate around the island's coastline for a picnic- very often a raucous barbecue. Impromptu picnic sites can be found all along almost any coastline hike, so the beach side restaurant was a hit – as somebody else did all the cooking! It soon became well known for fresh fish caught locally and, naturally, for its spectacular seafood paellas. Witness the tank in the restaurant containing not only lobster and langoustine, but the extraordinary looking and highly prized Ibicencan cigalla. All of these can be ordered in the morning (even by phone) and prepared for your table that afternoon or evening, alongside their many other traditional Spanish and Ibicenco dishes.

This is one of the reasons why this beach has such spectacular ferry connections. You can get from here to any other beach on the island that also has a ferry connection. The captains and crew of the ferries all choose to eat here. So if you find that your ferry's not running for three hours during siesta, at least you'll know where the crew are and why?

The restaurant also has a special reputation for wedding receptions, for which the locals almost seem to rely upon it. The reason is not just the quality of the food, but also the shaded split-level terrace that comfortably caters for 150 whilst the children can happily frolic in the sea a dozen strides away. The beach too can cater for any overflow from the terrace with its many shaded tables.
As if all that wasn't enough, consider this before that hearty meal…
