Chasing Sunsets: 7 Breathtaking Sunset Spots in Ibiza

Chasing Sunsets:
7 Breathtaking Sunset Spots in Ibiza

Watching the sunset in Ibiza has long been a bucket-list experience, like riding a gondola in Venice or witnessing the Aurora Borealis in Iceland.

From the early days of the original iconic sunset spot, Café del Mar, and livelier Café Mambo, this daily ritual hasn’t lost its magic. We’re often asked about the best places to go and things to do. So as locals on the island, we wanted to share a few of our favourite sunset spots. 

Whether you’re looking for a front-row seat with a cocktail in hand, a delicious meal by the sea, or simply a quiet place to sit on the rocks and listen to the waves, this guide has something for you.

The choice of “sunset spots” is looooong, here are just a few of our favourites. 

The Best Sunset Bars & Restaurants

1. S’Illa des Bosc – Sunset & Crystal-Clear Waters

No matter the time of year, the view at Cala Conta is breathtaking. Of the three restaurants in the area, S’Illa des Bosc is our top pick. While Sunset Ashram offers a livelier sunset experience (with a matching price tag), S’Illa des Bosc delivers great food, stunning views, and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Local tip: Like all great sunset spots, it’s best to book a table in advance to secure your spot.
* Cala Conta and all its stunning beaches are great for watching the sunset if you prefer to take a picnic with you. 

2. Mint by Mambo – The Sunset Strip Experience

Located along the famous Sunset Strip, Mint by Mambo serves up Italian cuisine and refreshing summer cocktails. With Café Mambo next door providing the iconic sunset soundtrack, Mint offers a more laid-back vibe and a slightly lower price tag.

Local tip: Book ahead for a seafront table—they go fast! If you prefer a more spontaneous experience, grab a drink and take in the sunset from the promenade.

3. Hostal La Torre – A More Intimate Sunset Spot

For a peaceful and romantic sunset experience, Hostal La Torre is a must-visit. Just outside San Antonio, this clifftop bar offers uninterrupted sea views, expertly crafted cocktails, and a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere.

Local tip: If you want a front-row seat, make a reservation—this spot is becoming increasingly popular.

4. Experimental Beach – Stylish Sunsets by the Sea

Tucked away in the Las Salinas nature reserve, Experimental Beach offers a chic and trendy setting for sunset lovers. With its effortlessly cool Ibiza vibe, great food, and signature cocktails, it’s the perfect place to start your evening.

Local tip: If you’re visiting later in the season (September or October), bring a light jacket and some mosquito repellent.

5. Es Boldadó – Seafood with a View of Es Vedrà

For a breathtaking dinner setting, Es Boldadó is hard to beat. Perched on the cliffs overlooking the mystical island of Es Vedrà, this restaurant specialises in fresh seafood and traditional Ibizan cuisine. While it’s extremely busy at lunchtime, the magic of watching the sunset over Es Vedrà while enjoying a seafood paella is an experience you won’t forget.

Local tip: Make a reservation for an outdoor table—this place fills up quickly.v

Natural Sunset Spots – No Reservations Needed

6. Benirrás Beach – Sunset & Drumming Rituals

Benirrás Beach is famous for its Sunday sunset drumming sessions, where musicians gather to create a hypnotic rhythm as the sun sinks into the sea. The atmosphere is lively and unforgettable. However, if you’d prefer a quieter sunset, it’s best to visit on a different day.

Local tip: Arrive early, as parking can be tricky, especially on Sundays.

7. Punta Galera – The Sunset Spot for Adventurers

Punta Galera isn’t your typical beach—it’s a collection of smooth rock formations that create natural sunbathing platforms. This spot is a favourite among locals and those looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-path sunset experience.

Local tip: Wear sturdy shoes, as the walk down can be a little tricky. If you head to Hostal La Torre, follow the road to the end and take the footpath onto the cliffs to find your very own private sunset spot.

Final Thoughts

Sunsets in Ibiza are unquestionably special. Whether you prefer the lively atmosphere of a beach bar, a romantic dinner with a view, or a peaceful moment in nature, there’s a perfect sunset spot for everyone. 

Don’t forget, towards the end of the season, you can see the Sunset from Aragma too.
