Ibiza boasts a mythical allure – all sun-soaked days and sybaritic nights. If you’re heading to the boho isle this summer, take your cues from Rat & Boa founders Valentina Muntoni and Stephanie Bennett, who share their insider tips and essential buys.
A note on Rat & Boa
Unapologetically fierce and feminine, sensuous fashion brand Rat & Boa is the brainchild of best friends Valentina Muntoni and Stephanie Bennett. Since launching the label in 2015, the duo have become known for their slinky silhouettes, sunset prints and an aesthetic that blends wild romance with wicked glamour. These are designs made for summer escapism, and no location delivers heat-soaked hedonism like Ibiza. Here, Valentina and Stephanie share their ultimate guide to the White Isle, from barefoot beaches to the best sunset cocktails…
Where To Stay
Six Senses Ibiza
The ultimate in laidback island luxury. Set in the north, Six Senses moves to its own rhythm, offering an oasis of calm that still captures the essence of Ibiza. We spend our time between the pool and the sea-splashed rocks, soaking it all in. The food is another standout—The Orchard and the Beach Caves are both favourites.
Los Enamorados
A bohemian dream perched in Portinatx. Equal parts charming and eccentric, it’s a place where time slows down. Expect sunset views that stop you in your tracks and an on-site bazaar packed with treasures. Book Now
Hannah Formentera
For the ultimate boat-day escape, hop over to Formentera. We’ve made some of our best memories on the water, and Hannah’s beachfront setting in Playa Migjorn is our go-to for an extended stay—quirky, relaxed and effortlessly cool.
Where To Eat
Amalur
Set just outside Santa Gertrudis, Amalur delivers refined Italian cooking in a charming villa with character to spare. It’s an Ibizan institution that feels both elevated and relaxed—off the beaten track but always worth the detour.
Casa Jondal
An Ibiza essential. Chic, sun-soaked and full of buzz, Casa Jondal is our go-to for long lunches that stretch into the afternoon. Best enjoyed barefoot, with fresh seafood, a chilled glass in hand, and a front-row seat for some serious people-watching.
Es Moli de Sal
A Formentera favourite. Es Moli de Sal is our ritual stop for long, lazy lunches by the sea—Aperols, fresh catch of the day, and views that make you fall in love with the island all over again. Timeless, effortless, and always unforgettable.
The Cocktail Spots
Room Service, Ibiza Town
Tucked in a quiet corner of town, this low-lit cocktail spot serves expertly mixed drinks with a cool, insider feel. Room Service is the perfect start—or end—to a night out.
Cala Gracioneta
Cala Gracioneta is a hidden gem has barefoot charm and a laid-back vibe. Think sunset spritzes with your feet in the sand and that soft, golden Ibizan light washing over everything.
Hostal La Torre
A golden-hour dream. Perched above the sea with panoramic views, Hostal La Torre's terrace is made for slow evenings, good company, and a soundtrack of waves and Balearic beats. Pure magic.
The Best Beaches
Cala Xarraca
Tucked away in the north, Cala Xarraca has a peaceful charm that makes every visit feel like a new discovery. We bring towels, a deck of cards, music, and snacks, then let the day unfold—unhurried, sun-soaked, and beautifully simple.
Salinas Coves, Cala Pluma
Just beyond the energy of Salinas Beach, these quieter coves feel wild and untouched. White sands, turquoise water, and the kind of freedom that makes you want to swim, stretch out and stay forever. Optional skinny-dip encouraged.
Where To Shop
Vintage Icons & Echoes, Santa Eulalia
A treasure trove of retro and one-of-a-kind finds. From rare fashion to quirky curios, this hidden gem always surprises.
Dalt Vila
Ibiza’s old town is the ultimate sunset stroll. We get lost among the winding cobbled streets, discovering markets, handmade jewellery, and tucked-away boutiques. Don’t miss vintage heaven at Vicente Ganesha.
Agora at Six Senses
A curated concept store blending fashion, books and design. We’re thrilled to be launching our SS25 collection here – a perfect pairing of Rat & Boa energy and impeccable taste.
