If you’re looking for an authentic paella experience in Ibiza, this is a real taste of local tradition — not a cooking class or tourist attraction, but a true show cooking moment led by a local paella specialist and organised by a private cheffe.

This experience brings the essence of Spanish hospitality directly to your villa. You watch, smell, and taste the process as a traditional paella is cooked in front of you, using fresh ingredients from Ibiza’s land and sea.

WHAT THE EXPERIENCE INCLUDES

Everything is arranged for you. A professional paella chef comes to your villa with all the necessary tools — the large paella pan, gas or charcoal stand, saffron broth, seafood, and vegetables.

You can watch the full cooking process, take photos, or simply relax while the aromas fill the air. The cheffe and her team take care of everything from setup to serving, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

A typical authentic paella experience Ibiza includes:

• On-site paella show cooking led by a local chef
• Choice of seafood, chicken, or vegetarian paella
• Fresh local produce and high-quality olive oil
• Setup, service, and cleanup at your villa
• Optional starters or desserts prepared by the private cheffe

A REAL TASTE OF IBIZA TRADITION

Paella is part of Spanish life. Families and friends gather around a single pan, served straight from the fire. The rice is cooked slowly, allowing the flavours of saffron, seafood, and vegetables to combine. The best part — the socarrat — is the thin layer of crispy rice at the bottom of the pan.

This experience recreates that tradition in a private, comfortable setting. You get the same authenticity you’d find in a coastal village, but without leaving your villa.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Booking and Planning- You choose your date, group size, and preferred paella type. Everything is arranged in advance, including equipment and ingredients.
2. Arrival and Setup- The team arrives a few hours before the meal to set up the cooking area outdoors or near the pool. The paella chef starts preparing the base while guests enjoy drinks or appetisers.
3. Show Cooking- The cooking itself takes about one hour. Guests can gather around the pan to watch the process and see how traditional paella is made — the sofrito, the rice, the broth, and the final rest before serving.
4. Serving and Tasting- The paella is served directly from the pan at the table. Guests eat together, sharing the dish as locals do.
5. Clean-up- After service, the team leaves the kitchen and outdoor area clean and tidy.

TAILORED TO EACH GROUP

The authentic paella experience Ibiza is flexible. You can make it part of a casual family lunch, a
villa dinner with friends, or an evening event.

Optional add-ons:

• Tapas starters such as pan con tomate, aioli, or marinated olives
• Salad or dessert prepared by the private cheffe
• Table setup or buffet-style service
• Local wines or sangria service

All menus are adjusted to your group size and dietary preferences. Vegetarian and pescatarian versions are available.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT

This is not a cooking class. It’s not a restaurant meal. It’s an organised private experience that blends authenticity and comfort.

You get:

• A real paella cooked by a local specialist
• Professional organisation and coordination by a private cheffe
• Fresh, local ingredients
• A relaxed and social atmosphere
• Service directly at your villa

Many guests describe it as the highlight of their stay — simple, genuine, and full of flavour.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT

The paella itself is prepared by a local expert who has spent years perfecting traditional Valencian and Ibizan methods. The coordination, timing, and hospitality are managed by the private cheffe who oversees the event and, when requested, complements the meal with starters, salads, or desserts.

This teamwork creates an authentic result: a paella that tastes like Spain, served with the smooth professionalism expected in Ibiza’s private villas.
