Hotels near Casa Jondal

Casa Jondal sits right on the pebbles of Cala Jondal on the south coast, and it is where Ibiza's in-the-know crowd goes for a long, late beachfront lunch. The kitchen is led by celebrated chef Rafael Zafra, whose pedigree shows in dishes like the caviar-topped tortilla, grilled Ibizan red prawns and whole fish cooked simply over fire.

The look is natural and understated - raw wood, linen and stone - which lets the food and the turquoise water do the talking. It is not cheap and it draws a glamorous, yacht-friendly crowd, but the cooking genuinely backs up the scene rather than coasting on it.

Pro Tip: Reserve a table for around 2pm so your lunch rolls naturally into the afternoon DJ set, and arrive by taxi - the access road down to Cala Jondal is steep, dusty and short on parking in August.
