Discover the Timeless Charm of Llumbí: Ibiza's Historic Meeting Point

Nestled in the heart of Es Cubells, Llumbí bar has been a cornerstone of the Ibiza scene since 1958. Founded by Pep Marí and Maria Llorenç, this cherished locale began as a simple spot open only on Sundays and religious holidays. As the area around Es Cubells evolved with villas and foreign visitors in the 60s and 70s, so did Llumbí, slowly expanding its offerings to include local delicacies like their famed calamar a la romana.

Today, still operated by the third generation of the founding family, Llumbí maintains its original essence. With a focus on family and local produce, it's not just about good food but the warmth of old-fashioned hospitality. Both tourists and long-term residents can enjoy stunning views and a laid-back atmosphere, a rare find amid the island's vibrant clubbing and party scene. Llumbí is a testament to the enduring spirit of Ibiza, creating connections over decades and serving as a reminder of a simpler, tranquil side of the island that many tourists might miss. Embrace a piece of history on your next Ibiza getaway and experience the welcoming charm of Llumbí.

Slight Dip in Ibiza and Formentera Hotel Bookings Raises Eyebrows

August brought a small decline in hotel occupancy rates for Ibiza and its sister island, Formentera. With figures from the Federation of Hotel Entrepreneurs of Ibiza and Formentera, it was noted that Ibiza’s hotels operated at an impressive 92.06% capacity, just shy of last year’s 92.35%. Meanwhile, Formentera experienced a more significant drop, recording 87.10% compared to 91.04%. Distinct fluctuations were observed throughout the month, with early August matching last year’s numbers, while the latter half saw more noticeable declines. Despite these subtle shifts, the season overall remains bullish, with average occupancy from May to August sitting at 85.21%, up from last year. Ibiza saw growth in nearly all areas, with Sant Antoni and the bay leading the rise. Amidst these figures, Maria Costa, president of the hotel association, remained optimistic, highlighting the negligible nature of such variations given the overall high occupancy rates. However, Formentera’s hotel sector shows concern following the August dip and is calling for careful evaluation, suggesting that factors such as vehicle limits and restricted beach services may have played a part. The focus remains on balancing sustainable tourism with maintaining the islands’ allure for visitors.
