Ibiza has been occupied numerous times throughout its history, from the Phoenicians in 645BC to the Greeks, the Assyrians, the vandals, the Byzantine’s and much more recently the clubbers from all over the world who flock to the island annually to satisfy their thirst for electronic music. It’s fair to say that electronic dance music put the island on the map to the generation who occupy it for a few months every summer but that is slowly but surely changing. Ibiza has become a haven for global foodies, the cuisine is becoming as famous as the music and the talented chef’s who control their kitchens like the superstar DJ’s who hold court from the DJ booth, are driving the food scene forward dramatically.
The last few years has seen Ibiza reach for and grasp a whole new level, more and more tourists are visiting the island and the island has responded, offering a wider selection of restaurants and food and drink experiences than ever before. Global restaurant brands mix effortlessly with single operators, all making a contribution to the wider Island tapestry. As you would imagine, for an island as creative as Ibiza, the people who have been inspired to make it more than a holiday destination are also bringing their individual thinking to the table, resulting in a string of new and exciting concepts within the food and drink arena. The Essentialibiza Food and Drink platform not only highlights the unique restaurant experiences and services that are available on the island but also the people behind them. From the chefs going that extra mile in the kitchen on our behalf to the talented bakers and their unique take on cupcakes to the mixologists and their constant search for the perfect flavour combination. The food and drink scene in Ibiza is thriving and attracting many tourists to the island, we believe it is our duty to make sure we bring them to your attention.

Payesa Ibiza’, a completely natural beer that is made with the water of Ibiza, 7% in alcoholic volume, named after the Payesa’, who were traditional Ibicencan farmwomen. They wore distinctive outfits to work on the land, with probably the most noticeable feature being their wide-brimmed hats with long material hanging from the back. The distinctive bottle contains a product that not only tastes refreshing but is 100% natural, no chemicals or additives. It uses the water from the hills of San Rafael, giving back to the island that inspired it. Ibiza is never slow to embrace its own and with a genuine desire to give back to the island and support the farmers, Payesa has not wasted any time in amassing a huge local following. Next up is the massive tourist trade that visits the island and with the beer being stocked in many of the island’s favourite venues already, that is only a matter if time.
Chances are, if you’re queuing at the bar of a club and pondering what drink to get, whisky wouldn’t be the first thing that crossed your mind. It’s long been associated with old guys wearing tweed jackets, who go fox hunting on Sundays and come home brandishing a rifle in one hand and a carcass in the other before settling down in front of a roaring fire. Perhaps that’s a stereotype but it’s undeniable there are certain characteristics attached to the discerning whisky drinker. Now though, that all that’s about to change, because a brand new whisky brand called 8o8 is about to come to a club near you, and it’s all set to blow your perceptions of the drink out the water. Prepare to sample and savour a truly sexed up version of whisky as you know it.
