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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
Each experience can be paired with Spanish wines, refreshing cava, or signature cocktails that
complement the menu and atmosphere.
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:
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.
