Oli-ba-ba

Oli-ba-ba has been on Playa de Oliva since 1984, making it one of the longest-running chiringuitos on the Oliva coast. Two Moai statues mark the entrance. The Easter Island theme runs through the whole place.

The setup is classic beachfront: sunbeds and umbrellas on the sand, a shaded restaurant area behind. It fills up in peak summer, so arriving before midday gets you the best pick of spots.

Prices sit at €€, reasonable for a beachfront venue with a full kitchen and table service. Reservations are available, worth using if you're planning an evening visit when live music is on.

Rated 4/5 from 153 reviews. Most guests mention the setting and friendly staff. Value for money gets more mixed feedback. The location on one of Valencia's least developed stretches of coast is the real draw.

Food & Drinks at Oli-ba-ba

The kitchen serves Mediterranean food and pizza with continuous service from morning to late. It's a proper Bar & Grill, not just a snack stand.

Cocktails are the other reason people come back. The bar covers the full range for a day on the sand. Service is table-side, which keeps things unhurried.
