S'Illot des Renclí

S’Illot des Renclí is a seafood restaurant above a small cove in northern Ibiza, on the road to Portinatx. The water and rocky shoreline make a scenic backdrop for lunch or dinner, and you can head down for a swim after eating. Order paella, grilled sea bream or calamari, or look for the fish soup and catch of the day. Book ahead if you want to request a table overlooking the bay; service can bring the main course before you finish your starter.

A table above the water

The restaurant sits just above S’Illot des Renclí, a small cove on Ibiza’s northern coast. From the dining area, you look out over the bay and the rocky shore. The beach below is small, with pebbles and rock formations rather than a broad stretch of fine sand. A few traditional fishermen’s huts stand nearby.

The cove is on the way to Portinatx, close to Cala Xarraca. Its clear water is suited to snorkelling, and the shoreline gives you somewhere to pause after a meal. The beach can feel crowded in high season, particularly at weekends.

Seafood and grilled fish

Paella, calamari and grilled sea bream are among the dishes to consider. The menu also includes seafood and bouillabaisse, while the catch of the day is another option mentioned for the restaurant. Other dishes noted include tuna steak, mussels and prawns with mushrooms.

The restaurant works for lunch as well as dinner, whether you are stopping for a full meal or planning an afternoon by the water. Allow for the possibility that your main dish will arrive while you are still eating your starter.
