Ibiza is also best discovered around the table. Its cuisine combines Mediterranean flavours with recipes rooted in both seafaring traditions and rural life. Fish, meat, local produce and sweet treats all form part of a cuisine with a character of its own. If you want to discover the tastiest side of the island, these three dishes are a great place to start.

Bullit de peix, a taste of the Mediterranean

Bullit de peix is one of the great classics of Ibizan cuisine. With its origins in the island’s fishing tradition, it is prepared with different types of fish and potatoes and traditionally served with arroz a banda, rice cooked using the fish broth.

If you’re staying at BLUESEA Salina, make the most of your holiday to discover restaurants around the island where you can experience this culinary tradition and enjoy Ibizan cuisine by the Mediterranean.

Sofrit pagès, traditional Ibiza

From the sea, we head inland with sofrit pagès, a recipe rooted in Ibiza’s rural cuisine. This hearty dish is traditionally prepared with different meats, potatoes, local sausages and spices, and is closely associated with family celebrations and special occasions.

From BLUESEA Coral Beach, you can combine relaxing beach days with a trip through inland Ibiza and discover some of the flavours that form part of the island’s rural traditions.

Flaó, a sweet finish

To finish, be sure to try flaó, one of Ibiza’s most distinctive sweet specialities. This traditional dessert is made with cheese and mint, an unusual combination that has become one of the classics of Ibizan baking.

If you’re staying at BLUESEA Paraíso Beach, make the most of one of your trips around the island to find a traditional bakery and give it a try.

Bullit de peix, sofrit pagès and flaó represent three sides of Ibiza’s gastronomy: sea, countryside and sweet traditions. Because discovering the island also means exploring its flavours and enjoying Ibiza one bite at a time.
