Experimental Beach

South Ibiza


Hidden away on a secluded, spectacularly positioned headland overlooking Ses Salines natural park, fashionable Experimental Beach is a mellow cocktail bar, beachy lounge space, modern Spanish-international restaurant (mains €25 to €35) and upmarket boutique all rolled into one. The sea-and-salt-pan panoramas are something special. It's signposted just south of Sant Francesc de s'Estany.
