El Carmen

South Ibiza


With tables directly overlooking Es Vedrà and sandy-pebbly Cala d'Hort, El Carmen is highly popular for good reason. It offers lots of seafood and fresh fish (grilled or baked, often as sharing plates for two), delectable rice dishes and fideuà, and tasty local bread and aioli, plus omelettes, salads and a small kids' menu.

Cala d'Hort is on the southwest corner of Ibiza, 10km southwest of Sant Josep.
