Best of IBIZA LOVE

Welcome to the Cami de Balafia!

Everyone loves Lina-Marie and she loves her guests. And they come to her typical Ibiza restaurant Cami de Balafia, to enjoy the best BBQ of the island. Hidden – and therefore only detectable if you know the exact address – lies the small, family-operated restaurant beyond the Street 733 in direction to San Juan at kilometer 15,4.
Since more than 33 years beef is prepared over a charcoal grill in the inner court of the Balafia.

Feasting under the Stars

In the romantic hacienda guests can dine at wooden tables

There’s a choice of lamb, chicken, rabbit, pork chop and the best filet of beef that I’ve ever tried. MyStylery lifts the secret of the incomparable aroma: The grill is flamed with three different types of wood: almond-, carob- and olive wood. A wonderful smell that can be discovered by long distance.

The Cami de Balafia is rather unpretentious

Sorry Veggies! This is nothing for you

Beautiful eye-catcher: The lemons come from Lina-Marie’s Garden

A menu doesn’t exist. When Lina-Marie receives the orders at the wooden tables, the guests have the option to choose the best tomato salad either with or without onions. At that point I also don’t want to keep the secret of the delicious sweet potatoes. And the homemade aioli – pure garlic – is only recommended if you don’t have any other dates in the next three days.

Memories on the wall: Mick Jagger and Kate Moss also came here enjoying a steak

The Balafia is always packed with people during the evening. In the afternoon it is a little more contemplative. Then, Lina and her sisters sit in the kitchen and discuss the newest island gossip, whilst snipping the ingredients for their dishes. BvH

IBIZA LOVE Part VI

VIP hotspot: the restaurant Blue Marlin on Ibiza in the bay of Cala Jondal

An own yacht is not needed if you like to get some food at Blue Marlin. But giving a big performance is obviously possible, as private yacht owners will be picked up by a private boat shuttle service at arrival. Chilling on the banks, the arrived VIPs stroll under general observation along the catwalk to their tables.

Like a catwalk: The jetty for all who arrive with a yacht in front of the luxury restaurant

What you should know: Here, the sand is rather pebbly. But chill is just wonderful on the comfortable loungers

In fact, it is also easy to reach the Blue Marlin in CalaJondal by car. The restaurant is still one of the top locations of the island. The food is excellent: Chef Christian Dintl presents phenomenal, Mediterranean cuisine with a touch of oriental flavors. Sushi King Tom Blackshaw is the specialist when it comes to preparing the best Japanese creations.

How about one of the luxury daybeds? Perhaps with an Ice Champagne of that brand?

Delicious outdoor dining overlooking the sea: The kitchen of the Blue Marlin is top

My favorite is the atmosphere at the Blue Marlin – which is also a hotspot for long dancing summer nights with international DJs – for a late lunch, when most people went back again on their couches or luxurious daybeds and when the location begins to empty itself. Then the Blue Marlin is deeply relaxed – including the already friendly waiters. BvH

You must pass this guy, if you want to rent a daybed

Here isn’t celebrated only in the evening. The DJ plays already during the daytime

The bling bling indoor area: the VIP’s Prince William, Leonardo Dicaprio, Naomi Campbell and Queen Latifah have also chilled here

Tip:

People watching while enjoying your breakfast: This is now at the ‘Blue Marlin Ibiza Marina‘ in the port of Ibiza.
