Reservations are made exclusively through our online system
*If you don’t find availability, we recommend visiting early to get a table without a reservation.
From 1:00 to 1:30 p.m. In this time slot, your table is already reserved and assigned.
The first-row beachfront tables (12) are allocated in order of reservation. Once the first row is fully booked, we begin assigning the remaining terrace tables. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late without a call or email to justify the delay, the table may be assigned to other customers. Once seated at the assigned table, changes are not permitted. The time limit for the first seating is 2 hours.
From 2:45 / 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. During this second seating, we follow the order of reservations to seat guests. As tables from the first turn become available, we call and seat clients according to the list.
Tables are not pre-assigned; they are allocated once the guest’s name is confirmed and their turn has arrived. Therefore, the exact seating time may differ from the time initially requested during booking. We always try to offer an estimated time that minimizes waiting, but delays may occur depending on how long first-turn guests remain at their tables.
If you have a reservation on the waiting list, please check in at Reception and give your name. Only then will we begin searching for a table for you. Once it’s your turn, we’ll call your name aloud to invite you to the dining area. We do not call guests who have not confirmed their arrival in person.
If you arrive without a reservation and there is no one currently on the waiting list, you may be seated at a free table if available.
Chef’s Recommendations
Bullit de peix
“Bullit de peix i arròs a banda” is one of the most iconic dishes in Ibicenco cuisine. It consists of a serving of locally caught rock fish, gently boiled, and accompanied by dry rice cooked in its flavorful broth.
A must-try dish you simply can’t miss!
Paella
Paella is one of our specialties and a true classic in Ibiza.
Enjoying it at El Carmen, with views of Es Vedrà and the crystal-clear waters of Cala d’Hort, is a one-of-a-kind experience.
This beach is one of the most beloved spots for both locals and visitors.
