Location, location
NELA Pop-up with Oscar Salazar is situated at the far tip of 7Pines Resort Ibiza, directly above Ibiza's breathtakingly beautiful southwestern coastline. With views along the coast, of the nearby islets and - on a clear day - the mainland of Spain - dining here is a truly privileged experience. After a long hot day at one of the surrounding beaches, lounging by the pool at your exclusive villa or luxuriating in its high-end spa, the refreshing sea breeze reinvigorates you for the meal and evening ahead.
Superior service
The service at NELA is outstanding. Discreet, knowledgeable, attentive and multi-lingual (as you'd expect from this pan-European brand), it ensures your meal runs as smoothly as the perfectly shaken cocktails served as aperitifs.
Masterful cuisine
At the heart of NELA's success story lie its fire-cooked delicacies, ranging from meats to fish and seafood.
Whether straight from its wood-fired grill...
...or given the torch treatment by their expert chefs for those all-important finishing touches, the result is always spectacular in terms of taste and visuals.
Both the fire-cooked dishes and all the others are absolutely delicious and exquisitely presented.
Seared salmon, watercress, green sauce
Scallop, pumpkin, grapefruit, blood orange
Half lobster, guajillo butter, mandarin
Roasted carrots, pollen, pickles and labneh
(Melt-in-the-mouth) Slow-cooked short rib
Decadent delights
NELA's dessert menu shows the exact same inventiveness as the rest of its menu.
Millefeuille, açaí, miso dessert with pistachios and yoghurt
But nothing can prepare the discerning diner for its signature concoction, Sweet Dreams. Priced at €2,200 (yes, you read that right), it comprises a bottle of champagne and a special suite for four persons with breakfast the following day included! And if there's a more hedonistic dessert on the island, we'd love to hear of it.
Once-in-a-lifetime sunsets
A Sunset Ritual taking place on the terrace of the Cone Club below NELA.
Everyone loves a good sunset, but, on Ibiza, it’s so much more than that. A beloved social rite that unites pleasure-seekers islandwide, it’s a fleeting moment when time seems to stand still as people witness the sun dip into the Mediterranean in a blaze of colours.
And nobody knows it better than 7Pines, where it’s accompanied by music, cocktails, and effortless glamour. Add the fact that the mesmerising, iconic islet, Es Vedrá, shares the horizon and you´ll understand why people choose to dine at NELA.
