Here, a quiet, exclusive atmosphere meets high-quality, homemade cuisine, prepared with authentic products from the region; down-to-earth, but with that certain something.

Balafia
The Balafia restaurant couldn't be more picturesquely situated, under a sea of orange trees. Make sure to book in advance to get a table on the rooftop terrace. The family-run restaurant offers a rustic, authentic ambience combined with first-class cuisine. You don't know in advance what exactly you will be tasting. There is no such thing as a menu at Balafia. The hosts serve individual delicacies, taking into account every wish of the guests. Almost always in the top list: Steaks of beef, rabbit, or lamb chops. The extraordinary concept of the Balafia will definitely be remembered!

PLACES TO SEE
Hot Yoga Ibiza
Are you looking for a not everyday sport? Try Hot Yoga! Yoga is known for its holistic approach of relaxation and stretching exercises and more and more people have discovered this ancient Indian way of life in recent years. The Hot Yoga Studio Ibiza, however, focuses on a very special kind of this philosophy: the typical yoga asanas are performed in a very hot environment - at around 40 degrees - on the beach or in the studio. This intensifies the effect of the exercises; the muscles become even more toned; the body sweats so much that the inner cleansing is even more successful. Booking a class with studio founder Sebastian Carincotte is definitely worth it. Participants quickly become addicted to the good feeling after a "hot" session.
