Lunch at El Carmen on the sand: grilled gallo (John Dory) by the kilo, about €70/kg, paella for two around €48, house white €22 — book ahead, they don’t squeeze you in.

    Cala d’Hort

    Citorah says The beach itself is coarse golden sand with a shallow, kid-safe entry, maybe 180m long, fringed by pines that give actual shade on the south end if you’re there before 11. The point of coming is Es Vedrà — the limestone monolith parked offshore (382 or 413 metres tall, depending on whose figures you read) that makes Salinas look like a car park with cocktails. Salinas is where Ibiza performs; Cala d’Hort is where it sits still.

    Wrong for Anyone wanting a DJ, bottle service, or to be seen.

    Es Boldadó

    Citorah says It sits on the cliff above the beach, facing the islets of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell. It specialises in fish, rice and shellfish, and its signature dishes are bullit de peix and salmorra. The Tur Torres family runs it, and it dates back more than 30 years.

    The catch Es Boldadó advises against arriving by taxi, because of what it calls continual problems with the island’s taxi network.
