And just like that, it’s closings again. If you’re looking for some end of season sun, this is a great time to be in Ibiza. The crowds have mellowed out, the locals are in great spirits/ready for their upcoming much-needed break, the weather is still usually good, reservations are much easier to come by, and, of course, the closing parties. We’ll be out there next week for the Beat Hotel takeover and closings (eat, dance, swim, repeat); hope to see you there.

 | |  | | | Can Mimosa | | Santa Gertrudis | | | Set in Ibiza’s growing foodie destination, Santa Gertrudis, we’re hearing great things about this spot. Chef Justin Horne has created a menu that focuses on Ibiza’s seasonal produce and wild foliage, with an in-house garden that supplies most of their herbs and vegetables. Highlights include a Galician chuleton that’s dry-aged for up to 84 days and cooked on the asado grill, planked local sea bass, fennel bread, charred smoked pumpkins, and carob ice cream. They have a magical terrace set under fruit trees and acacia that can also be hired for events.

| | |  | | | Vino&Co | | Wines and sake | | | We love it when we learn something from someone writing in, and thanks to @brunasake, who commented on our Ibiza natural wines feature/post, Vino&Co is now on our radar. Started in 2009, Vino&Co specialises in lesser-known producers of organic, biodynamic and natural wines from Spain and Europe. They have a small tapas menu and a good sake selection, too. We hear Friday nights here (5-11pm) are popular with locals year round.

|  | |  | | | DIY Loewe Charms | | Luxe up your beach bags | | | So, we’ll start this off by saying that by the time you are done with this, you would likely have a very expensive accessory. BUT. Loewe at Selfridges, Harrods and Casa Loewe (in London) offers a customised charm service, where you can choose the pieces you want (string, gold initials, leather animal), and make a charm that means something for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.

| | |  | | | La Torre | | Beat Hotel | | September 26-2 October | | Partner content | | | Starting next Monday, Beat Hotel is on the isle again, with their innovative week-long program of fiestas, intimate parties, talks and sunset soirées across numerous venues. Highlights include two performance by Róisín Murphy on Thursday 29th (a free open-air show – guestlist here – at Las Dalias and a live PA at Akasha), and a fun day-to-night intimate countryside party at the Beat Hotel Residence on Friday 30th with the Harts Group’s El Pastor on food, and music that will go from poolside to disco (waitlist here). As a reminder, also on the dining front will be Barrafina at Hostal La Torre (26/27) accompanied by a fitting sunset soundtrack, and Cornerstone x Montesol (28) with a special tribute to Ibiza legend José Padilla on Montesol’s rooftop. There’s a lot of wellbeing – yoga and sound experiences – throughout the week too, so you should be able to keep things balanced. View the complete schedule here.

| | |  | | | Balàfia | | Go now | | | September is a great time for many reasons on the White Isle, but being able to get a table at popular insider haunts is definitely one of them. Camí de Balàfia, on restaurant row (aka Sant Joan de Labritja), is family run, open air, and focuses on wood fired meat (chops, entrecote, lamb, etc). They serve simple but delicious sides of tomatoes and potatoes, and the wine is always good. There are no veg options, but the veg served are good enough for a light dinner. Bring cash as they don’t accept cards and definitely still make a reservation.

|  | |  | | | @themartinezbros | | Closing Picks | | All night long | | If you’re going to closings and want some inspiration on what parties to check out, this is where we’ll be. Some are actual closings; some are just end of season. Tuesday 27 it’s straight to Hï for what we think was the party of the summer, The Martinez Brothers’ night, and then Wednesday it’s over to Amnesia to see Daley (HS82) and Jamie Jones b2b at Paradise. Thursday it’s to DC10 for the Solid Grooves closing party with Michael Bibi and special guests, and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we’re undecided. Saturday October 8th it’s back to Hï for the club’s closing (Damian Lazarus, Peggy Gou, The Martinez Brothers), and Monday October 10 it’s DC10 for their closing with everyone (Benji B, Honey D, Maceo, Patrick Topping, Seth, etc etc etc).
*Note that closing dates vary from club to club so check Ibiza Spotlight for a full calendar.

|  | |  | | | Six Senses Residences | | Blow the budget | | | If you’re travelling with friends or family and are looking to do it up in style, Six Senses Ibiza launched 21 multi-bedroom villas this summer, ranging from three to 10 bedrooms each. The villas feel separate – but with the perks of having all hotel services (room service, spa facilities), as well as a villa personal concierge. The jewel in the crown is the Cliffhanger, which, as the name says, literally hangs over Xarraca Bay, with a rooftop terrace for elegant sundowners.

|  | |  | | | Bottego il Buco | | Takeaway | | | If you’re thinking of doing a sunset picnic somewhere, this is a good one. NYC/ Santa Gertrudis’ Bottega il Buco are offering Italian picnics, delivered by Ibiza Runners. You can also get anything on the menu delivered to your villa, if you’re looking to eat (restaurant cuisine) in.

| | |  | | | La Torre del Canónigo | | Refurbed | | | We stayed here years ago, and the bones were good – the location! It’s in the Dalt Vila walls. The view! It looks out over the marina – but it needed a gloss up, which it’s now had. And we’re hearing good things. Just remember, unless things have changed, cars can’t get up here easily, so pack light.
