History

Interior of Café del Mar

The Café del Mar was founded on 20 June 1980. The look of the Café del Mar was designed by architect Lluis Güell. He was in charge of the design, decoration and architecture.

DJ José Padilla who became famous for his sunset sets that began in 1991 at Café del Mar also created the first six volumes of the Café del Mar compilation albums between 1994 and 1999. He died on 22 October 2020 of colonic cancer.

Today, Café del Mar is a bar brand that includes a bar in Ibiza and eight bars elsewhere in the world, including Malta and Cartagena de Indias.
