When you come to Ibiza with the family, you want to make sure that they can have as much fun eating out as adults do. Fortunately, this island is blessed with plenty of great family-friendly eateries that accommodate children and welcome them with open arms. Here is our selection of some of the best.
Chambao By the Beach

Meanwhile, tiny sports enthusiasts can try out yoga or paddle boarding in the bay. Chambao has its own team of professionally trained and certified childminders and runs the popular Family Weekends, where parents can enjoy the Spanish sobremesa - the relaxed time at the table after a meal - while the kids have fun at the Kids Club (complimentary for Chambao diners).
