A supreme dining or clubbing experience - or a combination of the two, Cova Santa is a restaurant and club like no other. Set on a hillside amidst rolling Ibiza countryside and next to a natural underground cave, the setting could not be more magical.
Dining under the stars in the restaurant with the carefully-crafted menu of Espai Kru, the famed high-class Spanish restaurateurs, is a wonderful experience on any day of the week.
Going there to eat during one of the venue's parties from the elevated vantage point of the dining area is extra special - a window onto dance displays, the super sounds of live DJ sets and the buzzing atmosphere of the party. The vibe is intimate and immense.
