Ibiza Love Part III: In no particular order here are tips for an awesome stay on Ibiza

Even from outside the Giri Café looks inviting

I still remember when I drove to San Juan five years ago, a small, sleepy village in the north of Ibiza. It was early afternoon, the streets were empty, the houses and a few shops closed, the sun burnt hot – deadly silence. Only one café was open and turned out to be the rescue – to all intents and purposes.

What a great mix of materials and furniture

Towards the church situated on an idyllic place of San Juan, the Giri Café is immediately visible: in front of the door of an old, ibizan townhouse, elegant wicker furniture instead of cheap plastic chairs invite to stay and to chill. Inside the Giri Café itself you’ll find modern architecture, different, small rooms with cosy seating corners, a successful mix of materials and furniture. Great drinks and cocktails are being mixed at the bar – who would have thought that?

Good idea: The patio is optically magnified by mirrored windows

View into the kitchen: Soul-Food cooked with Love

The actual highlight – besides the extraordinarily good cuisine – is the bordering garden with additional comfy seats, daybeds and a children’s corner (in hay!), which is atmospherically illuminated in the evening. Here one will experience real holiday happiness at the latest.

Chill time: Between beds with organic vegetables there are sitting areas and daybeds

The interior partly documents that the owner of the Giri Café is Danish, as it seems pretty Nordic. Rosa came as a child through her hippie parents on the island, where she’s living with her own family for 15 years now. Everything started with a beautiful boutique-hotel, The Giri Residence. The idea of The Giri Café developed in order to host the guests appropriate. By the way Giri – el guiri – actually stands for ‘foreigner’, ‘stranger’, which Rosa – whose children grow up on Ibiza – is not at all anymore.

The Scandinavian-inspired design is reminiscent of the roots of the Danish owner

The Giri is more than only a café that offers breakfast and lunch. There, friendly staff is serving modern, Mediterranean cuisine of highest standards with fresh ingredients from the region. A lot is handpicked in the own bio garden, in which herbs, salads, strawberries, tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits are being grown. Here I like to sit with a glass of Rosé – my favourite is the “Ibiskus” – and can hardly believe my luck.  BvH

Inside the Giri Café, there are several sitting areas …

… where you can sit comfortably while enjoying Snacks and Tapas

I like the Giri Café especially in the evening …

… when the setting sun creates a special light in the garden …

… and you really want to be nowhere else

Tip:

Every Sunday San Juan transforms itself into a colourful market with live music. On the place and along the small streets handicrafts, jewellery and ceramics are being offered.

Here everything is for sell, from the latest fashion collections of international Designers up to vintage furniture, Berber carpets and the good old long playing record

What a cool location, I thought as I recently strolled by “The Store”, Berlin’s newest concept store on the lower level of the private club Soho House in Mitte district. At the time, still in the phase of a pre-opening for members, “The Store” now attracts all male and female shopping victims and has an area of 2,800 square meters of high end fashion, beauty products, furniture, vinyl, home accessories and delicious dishes. This all-areas-of-life covering mix of products and services makes “The Store” – the look is more like a café than a shop – so unique.

Flowers forgotten? No problem, The Store offers amazing flower creations

The Store supports the local farmers, suppliers and producers. All products are sustainable and biodynamic…of course!

With a cold freshly made carrot vegetable juice I sit on a blue vintage velvet sofa and look at an art installation by Berlin artist Claudia Wieser, while I enjoy an avocado toast (of course this is all “organic”), watching busy freelancers in the rentable working spaces and listening to the sound of the playing record. In between, the new spring-summer collections by international designers such as Jil Sander, Simone Rocha, Tabitha Simmons, Alexander Wang or Balenciaga. For the little ones, the children’s corner offers cute knit sweaters, jackets, dresses and glittering ballerinas of the fashion brands Eagle and Elfie.

Chic in shell even for the little ones: Fashion for kids with the labels Elfie and Eagle

This is one of My Stylerys favorite places in Berlin!

Looking for a new hairstyling, make-up, manicure? The British beauty company Barber & Parlour offers a round-carefree service

Shop director Alex Eagle is responsible for this multifaceted mix, whose previous roles include working in public relations for Joseph and styling for Harper’s Bazaar: “We wanted to create a place where people could spend all day. A light, fresh and fun space where guests can shop, work, eat, drink and hang out. Like an open, shop-able private home for everyone to spend time and where everything is for sale from the candle burning, record playing to the sofa you sit on. The Stores aesthetic is paired back, simple luxury. Everything is made to last with a less is more approach consisting of cohesive building blocks for your wardrobe, home and life.”   BvH
