One of the biggest thrills of a holiday is being

Aura is without doubt one of the island's hottest spots - in every sense of the word. Set amidst a beautiful garden, you can either sip on a colourful cocktail or eat a three course meal, whichever takes your fancy. Aura is the type of place you might spot a well known face (Kylie headed there to chill after her Ibiza gig last year), you might spot the stars of a different kind in the sky or you might feel like a whole new dining experience has been bestowed upon you. They've even erected a draped canopy over the entire garden for the chillier evenings. Open seven days a week until 1pm in the morning, you'll be reluctant to make the journey back to whichever of the cheap hotels you're staying in!

Amante Beach Club and Restaurant is simply, out of this world. Situated above the cove of Sol Den Serra, this is a secret hideaway designed to capture the true beauty of the island, from the scenery to the food to the gentle lapping of the waves. The Italian influenced Mediterranean menu is light yet filling, with the added bonus of an outdoor grill and meat served to your table on a hot stone. For those wanting a little seclusion, there is the ultra swish and private Amante Table, set apart from the main restaurant and ideal for those wanting a romantic tete a tete.

Cafe Sidney, on the portside of Marina Botafoch, is the place for people watching. If you love watching the comings and goings of the world, then this will provide you with the ultimate entertainment. This is a great place to brunch, so why not leave your hotels in Ibiza early one morning for a breakfast with a difference.

Of course, you could just blow Ibiza residents best kept and fiercely protected secret spots of Kumharas. Away from the tourist trails and bustle you'll find this charming restaurant tucked away on the water's edge, where pirate towers, wooden couches or the coastline itself serve as your seats. The place comes alive at night when the surrounding streets are brought to life with music and fun, but if you want to watch, you can simply order a glass of cava, sit back and relax.
