Cova Santa, a pleasure for the senses!
Cova Santa distinguishes itself from other places not only on its party productions; but also on its philosophy. Such combination allows it to take the lead on the electronic scene this summer in its Lounge Garden Club.
Compared to previous years, Cova Santa which was built around an old cave, has overcome its previous work and at the moment, it offers a wide range of entertaining leisure activities with the highest levels of innovation. Cova Santa is surrounded by astonishing, breathtaking nature. Located in the San José road – km 7 through Sa Caleta turn off.
At the beginning of 1990, Cova Santa was already one of the main tourist attractions in Ibiza. By that time, it had expanded up to become an important venue for exclusive events using its restaurant, Lounge garden Club, to host them.
The Cova Santa experience could start with an astonishing gastronomic experience where the raw produce as the main protagonist, along with new dishes prepared by Grup Iglesias accompanied by live performances to liven up any dinner.
The ingredients in its kitchen come from all over the world and the practice of some of the most multicultural cooking techniques, like Japanese, Chinese, Peruvian, Mexican and Korean, allow the kitchen staff to take the main stage and prepare the most amazing food. Its restaurant Espai Kru stands out on the preparation of raw food like sashimi, carpaccios, tartars or marinades. It is known to be a 21st century Seafood restaurant with a really imaginative cuisine without using fire.

The experience also goes beyond the food. When finishing the dessert, a tour can be taken to explore the heart of Cova Santa which features a natural millenary cave, carved by the water coming from Sant Josep Mountains. This cave was discovered in the 15th century and finally opened to the public in 1957.
Through a crack in the mountain, people descent to the inner cave through stairs where stalactites and stalagmites are hidden and portrayed in a wonderful scenery at 25 meters depth inside transforming the cave into one of the most valuable natural resources of the Pitiusas.
