The aptly-named Sunset Ashram is a prime sunset spot on the Cala Comte beach, with both a restaurant and bar to its name. Set on the beautiful curve of Cala Comte, Sunset Ashram claims one of Ibiza’s most boastful perches.
The turquoise waters stretch towards the islets of Illa d’es Bosc and Sa Conillera, and the view alone could keep you occupied for hours.

With its unique beach bar and regular live music and DJ sets, the atmosphere here is hard to beat.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of catching up with friends under the orange-tinged sky with your favourite cocktail in hand, which is a feeling that Kumharas Bar perfectly embodies.
3. Monkey Ibiza
Monkey Ibiza has a perfectly conceptualised design, expertly curated menu, and diverse cocktail and wine lists that reinforce the stylish and tasteful atmosphere.

Another famous sunset bar, often considered Ibiza’s best, Cafe del Mar is truly the place to be when it comes to sunset views. To go alongside your sunset-viewing experience, the DJ plays lo-fi, sexy beats to match the oh-so-stylish atmosphere.
Right in the heart of Ibiza's electric San Antonio district, the island's original sunset bar is the perfect spot for undisturbed views of the sky and horizon as day turns into night.
