Heading to Ibiza this summer? The White Island has long been a hugely popular holiday destination, with celebrities including Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian among the fans of its inimitable party scene. But it's not just about clubbing; Ibiza also has a much more sedate side, where relaxation, luxury food, and epic sunsets are more of a focus.

Whatever your interests, there's something for everyone. We've rounded up some of our favourite spots...

The best restaurant: Hostal La Torre

Located on the edge of a cliff in the San Antonio countryside, this hotel and restaurant could not feel more luxurious if it tried. Upon arriving, you're greeted with boho-chic surroundings as you walk through to its impressive sun deck come restaurant.

Hostal La Torre is an absolute must-visit

There's even a DJ set most evenings (it is Ibiza, of course). But the pros know to play the best chill-out, understated and atmospheric tunes which only add to the ambiance of the place. But most importantly, the food is why you need to visit La Torres. With a menu that offers something for everyone, it still remains exclusive, luxury and decadent. The black cod and the octopus dishes deserve a special shout-out. 

And if that wasn't enough, if you book the right table, you can enjoy your impeccable meal all the while watching quite possibly the best sunset you'll ever see. 

Book a table or a room at La Torre here.

The best beach club: Nikki Beach

If you're wanting the beach day-club vibe but with a level of sophistication, then Nikki Beach is the one for you. Nikki beach offers a touch of class and elegance while not sparing fun and light-hearted vibes. There's often a musician such as a saxophonist or a drummer who will provide pool-side entertainment, as well as gorgeous views right next to where the day beds are situated. The Nikki Beach brunch is a must to get the most of the experience, you can pay a set amount and enjoy unlimited champagne and gorgeous food for three hours.
