Chef Colagreco, recently appointed as a UNESCO ambassador for biodiversity, leads the renowned Michelin 3-star restaurant, Mirazur, in Menton, which was crowned the best restaurant in the world in 2019. At El Silencio, Chef Colagreco brings his Mediterranean-inspired menu to life, celebrating the region’s rich flavors.

The menu also includes generous salads such as the heirloom tomato, peach, and verbena salad. Vegetarian options, like the delightful vegetarian lasagna, and wood-fired delicacies like the Ligurian-style Saint Pierre, complete the sun-filled and precise culinary offerings.

On June 14, El Silencio proudly declares the season open, granting guests full access to its magnificent spaces. The beach and sunset deck, restaurants, pool, art installations, and the vibrant cabaret come alive every day of the week from noon onwards.

During the day, the restaurant, beach beds, and pool welcome visitors, providing a serene environment to unwind and bask in the coastal bliss. As the sun begins its descent, the enchanting sunset sessions make a glorious return at 7 pm. Guests are treated to the golden hour with a lineup of resident DJs and a weekly concert programmed by the illustrious French artist, Guts, who has made Ibiza his home for the past two decades.

As the evening unfolds, El Silencio unveils a new addition on the first floor that will transport guests to the heart of Japanese cuisine. Designed by Mauro Colagreco in the grand tradition of Omakase, this exclusive Japanese restaurant offers a unique and intimate dining experience. Limited to just 30 guests per night, the seven-course menu promises an extraordinary culinary journey. Reservations are mandatory for those seeking an unforgettable encounter with the finest flavours of Japan.

When the clock strikes 10 pm, prepare to be captivated by the mesmerising cabaret presented by Ali Mahdavi, a multidisciplinary artist of Iranian origin. Mahdavi’s repertoire as a photographer, director, stylist, and illustrator includes collaborations with the likes of Manfred Thierry Mugler and the renowned Crazy Horse from 2009 to 2017. His show at El Silencio is a celebration of sensuality, glamour, and feminine supremacy, inspired by the golden age of the Chabanais and the chromatic palette of Pedro Almodovar. With performers trained on the world’s grandest stages, Mahdavi’s cabaret promises to leave no one indifferent—an evening of hypnotic excellence.

El Silencio doesn’t stop there, as it becomes a platform for artistic expression throughout the summer. Dan Ghenacia, the iconic figure of the island, along with the Alpha Wave Experience collective, presents their installation, The Oracle. This immersive work takes guests on an inner journey, featuring lamps inspired by the Dreamachine—a luminous invention by Bryon Gysin, a pioneer of the Beat Generation in the 1960s. The installation, within a structure imagined by the Spanish design firm Isern Serra, blends contemporary art with Ibiza’s vibrant spirit.

Adding to the allure of El Silencio’s beachside oasis, the renowned boutique GIGI Studios joins the scene, offering an exclusive selection of sunglasses. As a special collaboration, GIGI Studios presents the GIGI Studios x El Silencio Ibiza capsule collection, showcasing their distinctive style against the backdrop of this captivating beach club.
