El Chiringuito, Es Cavallet, Ibiza

El Chiringuito sits at the southern end of Es Cavallet, a long sandy beach on the Ses Salines natural park coast of Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, a short drive from Ibiza Town. Es Cavallet is historically associated with Ibiza's gay community and naturist tradition, and the beach retains the open, inclusive character that defines its atmosphere and its regulars. El Chiringuito has operated at this location for decades and is one of the island's most-referenced beach bars — a sun-drenched terrace of wooden tables and sun loungers set between the dunes and the sea, where lunch and cocktails blur into an unhurried afternoon ritual. The crowd is eclectic: sun-seekers, fashion-conscious Ibiza regulars, international visitors, and groups who choose Es Cavallet for its absence of mass-market resort energy. The drinks programme features ambitious cocktails for a beach setting — shaken and blended serves including Cava-based spritzes, fruit-infused gin drinks, and rum-based long cocktails. Mojitos are a house speciality. Beers and wines are served alongside a light lunch menu covering grilled fish, salads, and tapas-style sharing plates. Cocktail prices run 14-18 euros. Music plays throughout the day — typically deep house and Balearic beats — keeping the energy festive without overwhelming conversation. Service is relaxed and informal; the unhurried pace is part of the Es Cavallet character. The bar operates daily from late morning through sunset during the summer months, generally May through October. Parking at Es Cavallet is limited and fills by mid-morning in July and August; taxis from Ibiza Town are a practical alternative. There is no cover charge. The beach falls within Ses Salines Natural Park, where environmental regulations apply to noise levels and beach infrastructure.
