Gastronomic Experiences in Ibiza

If you’re seeking gastronomic experiences Ibiza that go beyond a simple dinner, you can explore Ibiza

through a curated culinary journey designed exclusively for you and your guests. A private gastronomic

experience is not just about eating — it’s about discovering flavour, culture, and atmosphere in a private

villa setting, crafted by a professional private cheffe who adapts every detail to your preferences. Ibiza is

known for its breathtaking sunsets and Mediterranean spirit, but it also carries a distinctive culinary soul

rooted in cocina ibicenca, Balearic heritage and Mediterranean influences.

As a private cheffe based in Ibiza, I design customized culinary experiences that can highlight authentic

gastronomía ibicenca and pitiusa flavours (inspired by Ibiza and Formentera), Mediterranean seafood and

rice dishes, or global fusion menus influenced by Lebanese, Italian, Asian or Latin American cuisine. Every

menu is built according to the group’s preferences — whether they want a relaxed sharing-style feast, an

elegant tasting journey, or an immersive Mediterranean-inspired villa dinner.

A Taste of Ibiza: Local & Pitiusa Inspiration

The gastronomy of Ibiza, often referred to as cocina ibicenca or gastronomía pitiusa, reflects its island

identity. Fresh fish, seafood and rice dishes are essential elements, often featuring local catches such as

mero, raons, calamares and the beloved gamba roja de Ibiza. Typical dishes that may inspire a menu

include:

  • Bullit de peix (traditional fish stew served with arroz a banda)
  • Arroz de marisco or fideuà
  • Caldereta de langosta (lobster stew)
  • Sofrit pagès (traditional stew with meat, potatoes and spices)
  • Charcoal-grilled fresh fish with Mediterranean herbs

Spanish tapas and pintxos can also be part of the experience: patatas bravas, croquetas, tortilla española,

pan con tomate, boquerones, gambas al ajillo. These elements can be used to create a Spanish or

Balearic-inspired evening in the villa.

Markets, Local Products & Island Culture

Many guests enjoy beginning their gastronomic experiences Ibiza with ingredients sourced from local

markets such as Mercat Nou in Ibiza Town or charming village markets. Ibiza offers seasonal vegetables,

island-grown herbs, artisanal sheep and goat cheese, sobrasada ibicenca, local olive oil, and the famous

hierbas ibicencas liqueur — traditionally enjoyed after a meal. While wine production on the island is

limited, small Balearic wineries offer boutique red, white and rosé options that add authenticity to a villa

dining moment.

Villa-Based Private Culinary Journeys

A private gastronomic dinner in the villa allows guests to relax in their own environment while enjoying an

experience curated exclusively for them. Depending on the atmosphere desired, a private dinner

experience can take the form of:

  •  An Ibicenco-inspired seafood or rice dinner
  •  A Spanish tapas and sharing-style evening
  •  A Balearic-inspired tasting journey
  •  A bullit de peix or arroz showcase evening
  •  A Mediterranean fusion menu
  •  A chef’s table tasting dinner
  •  A sunset dining experience blending Spanish and global influences

Each experience can be paired with Spanish wines, refreshing cava, or signature cocktails that

complement the menu and atmosphere.

Customized Culinary Experiences: Local & Global Fusion

While Ibiza’s culinary roots provide a strong local identity, the island’s international spirit embraces world

flavours. As a private cheffe with an international background, I create customized culinary experiences

that may include influences such as:

  •  Balearic and Mediterranean coastal flavours
  •  Lebanese mezze and charcoal dishes
  •  Italian fresh pasta & truffle touches
  •  Asian fusion (sushi, maki, bao, tataki)
  •  Latin-inspired tropical dining
  •  Elegant global tasting menus

The objective is not to limit the experience to one style, but to craft a refined and personalised culinary

journey inspired by both Ibiza and global cuisine.
