While the restaurant square is teaming with world-class eateries, there are still some hidden gems to be found within the walls of Dalt Vila. Tucked into a tiny corner and hidden beneath a canopy of vines away from the foot traffic of tourist, La Scala is quite possibly the most romantic location in the old town, manned by the most charismatic waiters on the island. A carnivore’s delight, you can’t go wrong with the Black Angus fillet or the veal escalope here while the John Dory in champagne sauce is another firm favourite. A rave review in the New York Times in recent years means reservations are now always essential – ask our concierge team to make sure you don’t miss out. Finally, if you want a taste of ultra-luxe high-end fine dining, Japanese fusion restaurant Kyupiddo is set at the very top of Dalt Vila and girls, feel free to wear those heels as the restaurant sends its cute little golf cart to pick you up at the bottom of the ramparts.
Speaking of heels and all things fashion, high-end boutique Annie’s is the place all island fashionistas make a pilgrimage too on their ibiza holidays – with railings bulging with designer vintage plus edgy and emerging local designers. It’s high-glam and good fun, with a 1970s soundtrack playing as women from all walks of life strut their stuff through the centre of the tiny store. Annie’s keeps the same hours as its neighbouring restaurants, so you can opt for some late night retail therapy and an après-dinner costume change should the mood strike. Whether you’re heading out into the Ibiza night or back to the villa to hit the hay, there’s one final stop we simply have to recommend you make before tottering back down through the drawbridge into Ibiza town and that’s Punto G, where you’ll find the best gelato this side of Italy.
While the nature of Dalt Vila means there are no villas within its walls, contact us if you’d like to stay in a villa nearby, such as Can Martinet, Villa Volcan or Villa Destino. Our team can help arrange restaurant reservations – as many as you like – and guided tours through the area.
