Café del Mar Ibiza is celebrating its 45th anniversary in 2025 with a refreshed identity, blending its iconic Balearic roots with modern enhancements.
A New Era for an Iconic Venue
Established in 1980 on the San Antonio coastline, Café del Mar has been synonymous with Ibiza's chillout culture. This season, the venue reopens with a revamped look, an upgraded sound system, and an innovative culinary experience. The refurbishment includes a new kitchen and an expanded signature alcohol line, aiming to elevate the overall guest experience.
Musical Milestones
To commemorate this milestone, Café del Mar released the fifth volume of their renowned Chill Out Mix earlier this year. Additionally, a special 30-track anniversary compilation is set for release, featuring legendary artists such as Frankie Knuckles, Aphex Twin, Röyksopp, Derrick May, Todd Terje, Moby, and Gerald. Looking ahead, fans can anticipate new mixes, vinyl repressings of classic compilations, and the launch of a new artist album series, beginning with Pig&Dan on June 13.
Enhanced Audio Experience
In a move to offer an unparalleled listening journey, Café del Mar introduces Ibiza's first Elara.6 mixer this season. Designed by esteemed audio engineer Andy Rigby-Jones, known for his work with Master Sounds and the Allen & Heath Xone series, the Elara.6 promises superior sound quality and an enhanced workflow for DJs.
Culinary Innovations
June will also see the debut of a refreshed menu, reflecting Ibiza's evolving status as a hub for lifestyle, music, and culture. The new culinary offerings aim to deepen Café del Mar's creative flair, providing a dining experience that complements its musical heritage.
Continuing the Legacy
Music Manager and resident DJ Ken Fan expresses enthusiasm for the season:
“We’re incredibly excited to be reopening Café del Mar this summer season and, most importantly, to be celebrating 45 years as an institution on the island. From pioneering the Balearic sound to releasing one of the most beloved chill-out compilation series in the world, we’ve been the backdrop to countless sunsets, memories, and musical journeys—and the story continues this season.”
With a rich history spanning four and a half decades, Café del Mar continues to be a sanctuary for sunset seekers and music lovers, embodying the spirit of Ibiza while embracing new horizons.
