Plaza del Sol (Sun Square), Ibiza

Sun Square (Plaza del Sol) is a charming plaza nestled near the historic center of Ibiza. With its cobblestone surface adorned by trees and potted plants, the square offers a serene atmosphere and a scenic viewpoint overlooking the town. Stone steps connect the plaza to the Sant Pere Bastion, a landmark that also functions as an open-air theater, adding a cultural dimension to the area.

One of the main attractions of Sun Square is the Plaza del Sol Restaurant, a favorite among both locals and tourists. The restaurant provides a choice between an indoor dining experience within an ancient stone building and outdoor seating under a sailcloth canopy. Free from the noise of traffic, as the entire square is closed to vehicles, the ambiance is perfect for a relaxing meal.

The restaurant is renowned for its Mediterranean-inspired menu, featuring fresh salads, vegetarian options, modern pasta, and traditional specialties like suckling pigs and fresh fish dishes. For dessert lovers, there’s a tempting selection of homemade sweets, complemented by a diverse wine list. Some of the must-try cocktails include the passion fruit mojito, espresso martini, and Aperol spritz.

With its prime location in the walled citadel of Dalt Vila, Sun Square provides stunning panoramic views of Park Square (Plaza del Parque), the harbor, and the rooftops of Ibiza. The colorful terrace, surrounded by fruit trees and vibrant plants, creates an ideal setting for a romantic dinner under the stars. The restaurant is also an excellent spot for breakfast or a quick coffee for early risers exploring the town before the midday heat sets in.

Managed by Michelin-trained chef Javier Roig, Plaza del Sol’s menu combines exquisite presentation and diverse flavors, making it a sought-after dining destination. Given its popularity, especially during the summer months, reserving a table in advance is highly recommended to ensure a memorable dining experience in one of Ibiza’s most enchanting locations.
