Cocktails & Dreams, Figuertes beach, Ibiza

Aptly named, playing an eighties soundtrack and serving show off knickerbocker glories, Cocktails & Dreams was the ideal place to cool down after poncing around in our bikinis on Figuertes beach all day.

I’d been seeing people eating extravagant ice cream concoctions all week, so I had to have one before we left Ibiza. What a sweet, childish treat: strawberry, pistachio and vanilla ice cream; fresh strawberries; fresh peaches; fresh oranges; whipped cream and strawberry sauce.
