As well as sand sea and sangria, Ibiza is home to some of the best fashions around the world. Adorned with luxury boutiques and must-visit markets, shopping should be hot on your itinerary when visiting. But if you're a beach babe that can't bear to be too far from the sun lounger, don't fear as you can combine the two here on the White Isle. Luxury beach bar boutiques are a must-have feature for beachside hangouts on the island, think of it as holiday multi-tasking, you can find lunch, sunbathing and shopping all in one spot - with a cocktail thrown in too, of course. Most beach bars have their own mini shopping meccas packed with everything from handmade jewellery to beautifully beaded beach kaftans and stylish beach bags, offering retail therapy just metres from your sunbed. Here's our pick of the best beach bar boutiques Ibiza has to offer…

Combine a day at the stunning Nikki beach with a spot of retail therapy thanks to the beautifully styled store. This hot spot doesn't just serve up beachside cocktails, yummy food and some of the hottest parties on the island - its stylish boutique houses designs from Shoreroad by Pooja and Cristophe Sauvet as well as their own collection of Nikki Beach wear. If it's a souvenir you're after snap up a Nikki Beach friendship bracelet or CD; if you want something with more designer flair shop for a Lolli or Maaji bikini.

Tropicana Beach Boutique
Situated on the crystal clear waters of Cala Jondal, Tropicana Beach Club, renowned for its quality menu (divine seafood) & stunning location also houses one of the largest beach bar boutiques we've scouted on the island. A shady spot packed with an amazing range of designer bikinis, handmade jewellery and statement beachwear.While some of the products on offer come with a designer price tag there are a few bargains to be had, such as a Hippy Flower headband or Tarak Jewellery gold plated charm bracelet. Focusing mainly on ladies fashion and accessories, there is a kids corner packed with customised dungarees and cute embroidered kaftans for the little ones.
Nassau Beach Boutique
The reasonably sized boutique at the popular Nassau Beach Club in Playa d'en Bossa offers a range of products for the whole family. Snap up an Isabelli kaftan for the kids or Ibiza Boheme beach dress for the ladies. This little shopping haven features luxe beauty products and unique accessory offerings, including the seriously cool, wooden-framed Capotiewear sunglasses. If you like the Nassau soundtrack, you can even snap up a compilation CD of the beach club's coolest tunes before you head home for the day.
Kiara Boutique at Sa Punta
Okay, so technically it's not a beach bar but the beautiful Sa Punta restaurant/bar does overlook the beach and the boutique here is so amazing we couldn't bear to leave it out. Not only does this hotspot offer not one, not two, but three separate restaurants (Sa Punta, Ginger & Patchwork) the lust-after location houses Kiara boutique. Opened in 2009 the store is inspired by “Ibizenco Hippy Chic” style. Packed with the best in women's style, you'll find all sorts of beautiful clothing and accessories here, whether you're on the hunt for a glam dress or chic beach kaftan. Head here early evening for a spot of retail therapy before nabbing a cocktail and bite to eat at the Lebanese inspired restaurant, Patchwork, for an evening filled with instagram-worthy moments.
Yemanja Boutique
Renowned for its delicious Mediterranean cuisine (the seafood linguini is a must) Yemanja Beach Club in Cala Jondal is a hub for fashionistas, offering not one but two beach boutiques to satisfy shopping addictions. A small boutique greets you on arrival, packed with brightly coloured embroidered beach bags, leather sandals and handmade jewellery. Outside you'll spot a more bohemian luxe boutique with exclusive women's fashion from Ibiza-based as well as international designers.
