CALA DE BOU · LOCAL GUIDE

Where to eat
in Cala de Bou

8 honest picks along Carrer des Caló and the seafront — waterfront dining, beach bars, modern bistros, Italian, local cafés. Walking distance from most Cala de Bou hotels.

Cala de Bou is the calm side of Bay of Sant Antoni — the south rim, residential, mostly Spanish-speaking, with the coastal road (Carrer des Caló) lined with restaurants, beach bars, and a handful of newer rooftop venues. It's quieter than the Sant Antoni Sunset Strip on the opposite shore (Café del Mar, Mambo) and that's exactly why people who stay here come back.

We're Sofía Gastrobar — number 109 on Carrer des Caló — so we'll list ourselves first. Below us are the seven other places we actively recommend to guests asking "where else should we go?". Each is within a 10-minute walk.

This beautiful place right on the bay front with simple but tasty food. And the service is exceptionally awesome from Bárbara — can't recommend highly enough especially when this fabulous Brazilian made me her country's cocktail the Caipirinha. How amazing is that and tasty into the bargain.

We visited this bar 3 times last year and again this year. The staff are lovely, the food is delicious and the prices are so reasonable. The owner even gave my parents a lift back to our hotel when they were struggling to walk. Amazing bar with stunning views, well worth a visit.

Sitio espectacular para cenar, con un ambientazo increíble. Mis amigas y yo fuimos durante nuestra estancia en Ibiza y nos encantó. La comida estaba riquísima y las porciones eran generosas. El personal fue superamable con nosotras y, además, nos regalaron unas croquetas brasileñas para que las probáramos.
