7. Zuma Ibiza
Our next gourmet tip is in the immediate vicinity of the port of Ibiza Town and is therefore definitely worth a visit if you have your yacht charter after a long day at sea.

The restaurant, founded in London, is already celebrating great success with its unique culinary concept at 20 different locations worldwide. In Ibiza, too, it is now a real must-visit for many.
