Personal recommendations from The Standard Ibiza
The ultimate itinerary for the perfect Iberian escapes
GlobeAir spoke to The Standard Ibiza Concierge Manager,Les Clefs d’Or Spain, about their recommendations to make your island stay even more memorable:
One of the best spots where you can enjoy a good dinner is our fabulous rooftop. With the magnificent views of the cathedral, you can even see if it's too late (or not) as you can see the clock on it.
The brand-new outlets, Jara and Up that, offer magnificent views of the cathedral, the Castle or the main square in town whilst enjoying a carefully curated option with fresh ingredients for Spanish/Mediterranean or Mexican speciality cuisines.
In addition, around Vara de Rey, where the first Hippie town was built, we have other fascinating places within walking distance. Such as Ca n'Alfredo, where we recommend a delicious and very local "arroset".
We highly recommend walking around the old town inside and out of the fortress just meters from The Standard, Ibiza, and visiting both the artful shops and restaurants.
Getting lost inside the narrow white streets with views of the marina is a magical experience. A symbolic place we recommend is La Torretta, another excellent dining option located directly inside an old defence tower from the 12th century.
The port directly out of Vara de Rey also offers the largest area of bars & lounges with fantastic cocktail bars and good music.
Departing directly from the port and maybe 3 minutes away, you can find several boat options for a day trip to Formentera. An idyllic island located south of Ibiza with some of the most beautiful hikes and beaches in the world. The boat ride takes 25 minutes.
We find the Marina Botafoch area just a few minutes away, where the most popular luxury shops and restaurants are located. Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, etc.
Marina Botafoch is also where we can offer all sorts of private boats for a day trip or a visit to a secluded Cala. The Calas in Ibiza are the virgin bays located all along the coast and only accessible with a boat, a private beach just for you.
