Cala Mastella is another one of the island’s smaller
beaches that offers a unique day out in
the sun. Located in a cove, not far from Cala Llena, Mastella is flanked
by two pinewoods providing an intimate experience. The seabed is covered
in rocks so be careful if you are going in swimming or snorkelling.
There’s a small pathway from the edge of the
beach that leads you into the fishing
port of Cala Mastella, a quaint, picturesque setting oozing charm and
history and home to one of the best
eating spots on
Ibiza, El Bigotes, a legendary fresh fish
restaurant that has an unusual
policy when it comes to table reservation. They have no phone so if you
want a table reservation you have to go in person as far as a week in
advance in the height of the season.
Legend has it that the King of Spain once moored his yacht and headed
into El Bigotes, on the recommendation of friends, unfortunately he had
not booked previously and was subsequently turned away, so you have been
warned!
