Es Cubells is a small yet perfectly formed area made up of traditional fincas, rural farmland, and olive and orange groves. Life slows to a crawl here, making it a popular destination for those who truly want to get away from it all and enjoy an idyllic, relaxed holiday vibe. The area is one of the most sought-after areas for luxury villa rentals, and the rocky cliffside is home to many contemporary and stylish private properties, offering the region a wonderful air of laid-back chic.
The village features a small and beautiful whitewashed church, small children’s playground and two charming restaurants. Bar Llumbi Restaurante is most famous for its ‘Mama’s pork chops’ dish and delicious tapas, all served up overlooking the ocean…or there’s nearby Restaurante Es Cubells, which features hearty dishes such as paella, salt-baked fish and grilled meats.
If you decide to head down towards the beach (and why wouldn’t you?!) you’ll discover one of the island’s best-kept secrets: Ses Boques, which offers authentic beach dining with grilled meats and fresh seafood prepared using 40-year old recipes and using only ingredients from the sea and soil of Ibiza.
There are three coves in the area that make for excellent spots for diving and snorkelling, and with nothing but the azure Mediterranean sea and acres of the sky as your backdrop, if you’re looking for a destination that is totally Instagrammable - you’ve found it at Es Cubells.
This tiny, quiet village is located just outside of San Jose - a place that is well worth a visit during your stay - especially if you are something of a foodie - as it boasts some excellent restaurants, shops and bars, including pizza parlours, cocktail bars and high-end gourmet restaurants. Souvenir hunters won’t be disappointed either; the village has plenty of shops and boutiques selling traditional ceramics, colourful Ibizan fashions, and even toys, and from Easter to October, the market held in the centre of the village aims to promote the island’s local products and traditions. There are stalls offering organic produce such as homemade bread and pastries, fruits and vegetables, and local artists come here to sell their paintings, sculptures and handicrafts.

The Region
Although set just outside the buzz of the village of San José, Es Cubells is distant enough to create a wonderful feeling of seclusion. As you drive past traditional fincas and rural farmland plus olive and orange groves, the pressure of everyday life seems to just slip away.
The exclusive, ultra-private properties peppered along the rocky cliffside are contemporary and luxurious in style yet possess an air of laid-back chic, setting the scene for the ultimate Mediterranean getaway.
Typical Spanish cuisine can be found in the two restaurants in the little village – take your pick between Bar Llumbi Restaurante – famous for mama’s pork chops and tasty tapas dishes – overlooking the sea, or tuck into hearty plates like grilled meats, whole fish baked in salt, paella or typical Ibicenco dishes including bullit de peix or guisat de peix on the sunny terrace of Bar Restaurante Es Cubells just opposite the church.
