Every summer, Atzarò Agroturismo Hotel turns its three-hectare organic garden into a feast for the senses. And, between live music concerts and movie screenings under the stars, the real star of the show is the fresh, wholesome produce that grows within the hotel guests’ reach. This August, for the third year in a row, a night conducted by chef Yotam Ottolenghi, whose food has long celebrated the beauty of vegetables, freshness, and generosity, was once again the highlight of the season.
The event, Ottolenghi at Atzarò, brought together more than 200 guests under Ibiza’s late-summer sky. Long wooden tables, dressed simply but elegantly, stretched between palms and pines as classical musicians set the tone. A five-course, sharing-style dinner unfolded carrying Ottolenghi’s unmistakable vibrancy layered with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern notes, each dish a dialogue between chef and garden. Eating a tomato while seeing its vines just meters away blurred the line between kitchen and farm in the most delicious way.
Ottolenghi’s so-called “effect” that many say has changed the way we think about vegetables, feels especially alive here. In Ibiza, it’s not just about technique or flavor, but about a relationship with the land that Atzarò has carefully cultivated. Beyond its reputation as one of the island’s most loved retreats, the hotel has made its organic farm central to the guest experience. From the food served at its restaurants to the programming it hosts, the message is clear: nature is not a backdrop, it’s the essence.
What makes this collaboration special is how naturally it extends beyond a single evening. Guests who return to Atzarò after Ottolenghi’s night will find the same ethos embedded in everyday life at the hotel: garden produce on the menus, a rhythm of wellness tied to the seasons, and a philosophy of hospitality that nurtures both people and planet. It’s a reminder that creativity in the kitchen, when coupled with care for the land, can leave a lasting imprint on how we travel, gather, and live.
