Ibiza, Unpacked: A Simple Day Well Spent

Ibiza, Unpacked: A Simple Day Well Spent

Ibiza doesn’t ask for much. Just your phone on airplane mode and a loose plan that involves good food and the right kind of quiet.

Here’s how to spend one effortless day on the island — no itinerary, just intuition.

Get Hungry

Start your morning at Can Muson, a small organic farm café just outside Santa Eulalia. It’s casual, sun-drenched and full of local colour — think fresh juice, warm bread, goats, chickens, and the kind of scenery that makes you slow down without noticing.

What to wear: breezy cotton, minimal makeup, sandals that slip off easily. This is a place where no one’s trying too hard — and that’s the point.

Dinner happens when the sun dips and the air gets soft. Head north to Balafia, a no-menu kind of spot hidden behind orange trees. The setup is simple: grilled lamb or chicken, crispy potatoes, and tomato salad that ruins all other salads forever. Everything’s served under a few lightbulbs strung between trees — nothing fancy, everything right.

Pair it with: sun-kissed skin, loose hair, and your go-to slip dress.

Get Sleepy

If your style leans calm, minimal and quietly luxurious — book into Six Senses. The sea views are unbeatable, the spa is next level, and the whole place makes you want to whisper (in a good way). Perfect if you’re into barefoot mornings, white sheets, and herbal tea before bed. Prefer more colour and character? Los Enamorados in Portinax is like staying inside a moodboard. Vintage pieces, bold tiles, and every corner feels like a photo waiting to happen. It’s a boutique hotel, a concept store, a restaurant, and somehow still feels like a home.
