Pura Vida – meaning pure life – is a gorgeously high-end Ibiza beach restaurant on the island’s east coast. With an interior oozing elegance and charm and modern touches like sumptuous white sofas adding a touch of Ibiza glamour, it’s the perfect venue for all occasions – from a lazy afternoon lunch to a beautiful white wedding or special event.
Outside, a sail covered wooden terrace is the star attraction while white umbrellas and beach beds create a relaxed, luxurious ambience. The all-new sleek champagne bar completes the Pura Vida experience, a glamorous addition for 2010.
For lunch, devour the enormous paella with your friends and family, try the whole grilled sea bass just for yourself or snack on expertly crafted sushi designed to share. The stylish and fresh Mediterranean menu also features delicious pastas, mouthwatering meats and classic beach favourites such as club sandwiches, BLTs and deluxe burgers.
As day becomes night, the dinner menu allows chef Victor Diaz Franco to demonstrate his dazzlingly creative flair. Think a romantic meal for two at a candle-lit table, dining on delicate dishes such as crayfish carpaccio with orange risotto followed by rare tuna steak served with mashed wasabi potatoes. And the amazing list goes on…
Complement the mouthwatering meals is a superb wine list, including port, sherry and a delectable dessert wine selection to accompany the after-dinner delights of mocha cappuccino mousse, strawberry and mint soup and more.
On Sundays, parents lap up the luxury that is Pura Vida Kids Corner, letting the little ones be entertained while you enjoy your lunch, then between 4pm and 8pm, DJs Nicc Johnson and Alex Deluxe spin their infamous Sunday Sessions - the inspiration for the new Pura Vida CD, beach.lounge.cuisine.
It seems at Pura Vida, anytime is a good time to go to the beach.
