Miss W’s blog: What happens in The Experience Bar…
It was about 9am on a searing hot summer day back in 2000-and-something. I was wearing a sequinned mini-dress that was really only appropriate after dark. My make-up was smudged, I didn’t have any sunglasses and I couldn’t be sure if I was still drunk or it was a hangover kicking in. I did a quick double-check to be sure my phone, wallet and keys were all still on my person – thankfully, all were present and accounted for. Unlike my brain cells, as I had no idea what had just happened to the last, say, eight hours.

Dish of the day: Iberic Ham Compression Pintxo at Deco
As a tasty starter, a poolside snack or a tapas bite to share amongst friends (trust us – you’ll want to order more than one because this is too good to share!), the Iberic Ham Pintxo at Hotel Es Vive restaurant Deco is one of the very best twists on tradition we’ve had the pleasure to wrap our lips around this summer!
Deco head chef Juan Dechecco uses modern compression techniques to fuse the classic Spanish dish of Iberic ham, bread, olive oil, cheese and tomato together into a taste-sensational block, served pintxo style with grated tomato on top. A truly outstanding menu creation, and the perfect complement to an icy cold beer on a hot summer day!
Dish of the day: Soft Shell Crab Salad at Deco
Summer and salads go hand in hand, and Hotel Es Vive restaurant Deco head chef Juan Dechecco has created one of the tastiest creations… with a little kick! The deliciously delicate flavour of soft shell crab is fused with tomato, diced granny smith apples, crispy lettuce and red onion, then served with a spicy tomato dressing – perfect to share as a starter, or as a deluxe main dish you’ll be talking about long after the holiday is over (all the more reason to book your return ticket!).

Meet the therapist: Ruth Cardà, Es Vive Spa
Although her calm, warm and nurturing persona would have you think she’d been born into the spa, beauty and healing industries, it was actually a dramatic life change that saw Ruth Cardà – who hails from Barcelona, but is a long-term Ibiza resident – become interested in spa and alternative therapies around 10 years ago. For the past four of those years, she has been at the helm of the intimate Es Vive Spa, providing much needed balance and care to hotel guests and visitors alike. Read more
