Tamara Heber-Percy grew up in Ibiza and Shropshire, and graduated from Oxford with a degree in languages (which has proved very useful in helping take Smith around the world). Her first job took her to Brazil to launch a new energy drink and she went on to work in marketing for brands such as Ericsson, Honda, Unilever and Swissair. In 2002 she left to head up the family company, an exclusive introductions agency called the County Register and later that year (with then boyfriend, now husband) James Lohan, launched Mr & Mrs Smith.

Heading up the Smith development team, Tamara has masterminded an array of innovations at Mr & Mrs Smith and Smith & Family, including the implementation of responsive design across all sites and the development of the new Smith Hotels iPhone app. She was awarded an MBE in 2014 for services to the British travel industry.

Es Torrent (C/ Porroig, Carretera Sant Josep- Eivissa. Ph: +34 971 802 160)
Located in a beautiful bay near Porroig, Es Torrent specialises in stunning, super-fresh seafood – in fact they they have a ‘zero-kilometres’ policy.
The menu draws inspiration from traditional local recipes and guests sit outdoors at beautiful wooden tables on the beach so you can feel the sand in your toes. After lunch, try and nab a sun lounger and settle in for the afternoon. In the summer it gets very busy so be sure to book at least a week in advance, and you can also order your fish the day before.

Juan y Andrea (Playa Illetas, Formentera. Ph: +34 971 301 202)
This restaurant really is one of a kind. Take a private boat or hop onto a fast ferry from Ibiza to Formentera, a tiny island to the south, and hire a scooter at the other end. Pack your swimwear (and driver’s license if biking) – the soft-sand beach is as good as you’ll find in the Caribbean and this place is definitely one of my favourite spots. Be sure to book well ahead.

The Jockey Club, Playa Salinas, Sant Josep. Ph: +34 971 395 788)
This is an informal brasserie on a beautiful beach; everyone knows this place and it’s popular all year round thanks to its fresh fish, good music and international menu. Bring a yacht – everyone else seems to! Turn left and walk to the next beach bar/restaurant Sa Trincha (about 10 minutes away) if you like a slightly cooler (and often a more naked…) crowd.

Experimental Beach, Las Salinas. Ph: +34 664 33 12 69
The big-spending cool crowd go to Blue Marlin; I go to this on-the-sand outpost of the Experimental Cocktail Club in Ses Salinas. Opened in May 2013, it’s perfect for daytime lounging and sunset drinks and the vibe is less off-puttingly luxe-y than other more established spots. Try the Pondicherry Mule (cardamom vodka, ginger, lime and bitters).

El Bigote Cala Mastella (north-east coast, near San Carlos. Ph: +34 971 395 355)
El Bigote (“the moustache”) refers to the proprietor of this beach-shack restaurant overlooking a humble bay with crystal-clear water that’s great for snorkeling in between courses. You used to have to make a reservation in person as there was no phone but now you can try and call ahead. The owner cooks up one delicious dish only for everyone – often catch of the day fish stew which he heats in a giant cauldron on an open fire. This is back to basics done brilliantly – but don’t be late (lunch is served at 2pm) or they’ll give your table away!

Lio (Paseo Juan Carlos I, Puerto Marina, Ibiza Town. Ph: +34 971 310 022)
Head to dinner at Lio and you’ll find super glam burlesque cabaret on the Old Town harbour – it’s owners also run Pacha. Eat at 10pm and ask to be in the middle near the stage – ideally on the edge of a balcony – it’s great for people who probably want to be tucked up in bed a bit earlier than they used to. Basically, it’s Ibiza for grown ups.

The Harbour Club, (C/Ses Feixes s/n Playa Talamanca. Ph: +34 971 193 380)
There’s a palm tree covered terrace, sea view, stylish interiors and great cooking here, so it’s top of my hit list for the next time I go. It sits on Talamanca Beach and there’s also a private beach with sun beds and luxury cabanas so you easily while away a full day here.

El Chiringuito (Playa Es Cavallet Ibiza. Ph: +34 971 395 355)
I could hang out here all day – the food is simple but great tasting, and uses locally sourced ingredients where possible. It’s a stylish hang out that’s right on the beach, with views of Ibiza old town and across the water to Formentera.

Anita’s Bar, Lugar Barri, San Carlos. Ph: +34 971 33 50 90
Beachside El ChIringuito is this year’s hot tip for star-spotting over lunch (Kate Moss is a fan), but for more relaxed dining, I love Anita’s Bar opposite the church in San Carlos. It’s been around since the early 1960s, when it was the social hub of the hippie town. Today, it serves great tapas and tasty home-made Ibizan herb liqueur hierbas. Get a table on the terrace – it’s much better than indoors.

Lips Reartes Ibiza Porreres 1, Playa Den Bossa. Ph: +34 971 300 415
This restaurants serves up some of the best food in town – it’s fine dining but down to earth, head chef David Reartes oversees the Mediterranean cuisine . Again there are gorgeous beach views, as well as seriously good cocktails.
