A minimoon in Ibiza
WHERE DID YOU HONEYMOON? We had a lovely minimoon in Ibiza, Spain.
WHERE DID YOU STAY? We stayed at Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay, ideally placed on the shores of Talamanca Bay. This hotel is perfect for a tranquil stay, with direct access to the sandy beach and just a short stroll from Ibiza's old town. WHAT DID YOU GET UP TO? Ultimately, we needed some rest and relaxation to recharge our minds, bodies and souls. The lead up to our wedding was hectic and the emotion of the day itself was overwhelming. We wanted some quality time together with delicious food, exceptional service and knock out cocktails. WHICH PLACES DID YOU VISIT? El Chringguito Es Cavallet – one of our favourite beach clubs in Ibiza – it has great ambience and fabulous food. Amante Beach Club – boujee and brilliant. Casa Maca – everything about this restaurant is exceptional, the food is sensational, the setting sublime and the service is wonderful, this truly is a MUST! A Mi Manera – very romantic, exquisite food, wonderful surroundings and fantastic service. Nobu Restaurant –glamorous setting under the stars overlooking the Ibiza Bay and the food is sublime, the Wagyu beef is a must-try! Las Dos Lunas –a 40-year-old, family-run Italian restaurant - offering delicious food, a great wine list and a relaxed vibe. El Olivo Mio, in the old town of Ibiza, is very atmospheric and wonderful food. Six Senses Spa – probably the best massage we have ever had and we have had a few!
Leonora and Mark had a romantic break on the White Isle of Ibiza
WHAT DID YOU EAT? We are such foodies so we literally ate everything! The food was so fresh and delicious. As we stayed at the Nobu we had a lot of sushi but their truffle pizza is out of this world, too. The Wagyu Beef is an absolute must! At Casa Maca, the meat is exceptional and the truffle mash will blow your mind! The courgette flowers at A Mi Manera are picked from their phenomenal vegetable garden, they are something you don’t want to miss. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS LOCATION FOR YOUR HONEYMOON? Our original honeymoon was meant to be in St Barts at the Villa Marie but as our wedding kept being postponed due to the current pandemic, we found ourselves pushing our St Barts honeymoon until early next year and wanted to go somewhere not too far away, with glorious sunshine, a fabulous 5* hotel and exquisite food. We also love the fact that Ibiza has two sides to the island, you can dance all night long or have a calm and romantic time and enjoy the chilled-out Ibiza vibe. We love the island and the hotel was just fabulous. A FEW SPECIAL MOMENTS OF THE TRIP? Casa Maca Restaurant is a memorable experience, everything about it was just sublime. We had such a special time; the hotel is really such a wonderful place and they make you feel like royalty. The spa at the Nobu is run by the Six Senses, it has a private area for the sauna and steam before your treatments. It is very private and intimate. The massages are phenomenal, sending you into a world of calm and tranquillity. We highly recommend Ibiza and especially The Nobu Ibiza Bay Hotel for couples. WH
