El Silencio, Ibiza announces 2022 Programme
El Silencio, the Ibizan beach house from iconic Parisian brand Silencio, is pleased to announce their programme for the 2022 season, including an over-fire cooking restaurant from Mauro Colegreco, a contemporary pop up restaurant El Silencio Inside curated by Guillaume Sanchez, an art installation from Brazilian artist Samuel de Saboia, a collaboration with Hungarian fashion brand Nanushka, DJs and much more. The season will commence on June 1.
Nestled in a serene cove in the east of the island, El Silencio is set against the backdrop of Cala Moli, a wild beach that was prolific in the 70s.
“For us, Ibiza is a natural destination for a cultural hub because it’s always attracted creative communities from around the world. The island is local and global, with an innate appreciation for craftsmanship, culture, and a loving and local spirit. The island’s independent spirit – fused together by music, fashion, design, and art – feels both natural and familiar for Silencio.” -Arnaud Frisch, founder & owner of Silencio.
FOOD & COCKTAILS
This season at El Silencio introduces a new restaurant concept by three-Michelin starred Chef Mauro Colagreco. Hailing from Argentina, Colagreco has designed a menu with his long-time friend and master of oven-fire cooking, Federico Desseno, based around his passion for flame cooking and love of convivial dining experiences.
Open seven days a week, El Silencio’s restaurant features a menu inspired by the Mediterranean way of life and the region’s culture of hospitality, with Colagreco making use of the freshest of ingredients available on the island, cooked freely over open flames.
In addition, cocktails will be fronted by regular Silencio collaborator Remy Savage, the French-Irish master mixologist, part of The World’s 50 Best Bars.
As well as this, El Silencio’s additional second restaurant will play host to El Silencio Inside, a pop up featuring a rotating line-up of world renowned chefs, curated by Guillaume Sanchez, who will each take up residency in Ibiza for week-long rotations over the summer. The first guest chefs will be Guillaume Sanchez (June 16-30), Yannick Alleno (July 1-13), Thibault Sombardier (July 14-23), Les Enfants du Marché (July 24-31), Bruno Verjus (August 1-6) and Julien Sebbag (August 7-16).
ART AND DESIGN
El Silencio has been designed by Mallorca-based architecture studio Moredesign, known for their contemporary approach to design using traditional practices and construction methods. Taking design cues from visions of the 70s, the central spaces of El Silencio offer up an eclectic array of bold designs and colours.
The design was guided by a desire to return the original beach house back to its 1970s roots, with architecture that is more synergetic with the sandy cove and unspoilt natural landscape. By contrast, the rest of the beach house has been designed to mirror its surroundings, the beach house has been reshaped using traditional and local materials for the two restaurants, including sabina wood, stones, sand, and esparto light fixtures.
The central area of the space will also play host to Dreamland, an immersive art installation from Brazilian artist Samuel de Saboia. In an era where life can easily become so fast paced, Samuel de Saboia creates places of joy, dreams and contemplation. During his 11 years of work, the artist has learnt about the necessity of opening portals that turn magic into reality, and by diving into them, he brings healing experiences to his audience. Samuel is the selected Comme des Garçons Parfums 2022 artist and worked to transform the Silencio club into a dreamland, a place where kindred spirits celebrate and have fun. Mixing colours and emotions, this young and talented artist makes other worlds seem real.
FASHION
Finally, this summer El Silencio will be partnering with Nanuska, as the first location for the brand’sseasonal residency, the Nanushka Sun Series: an annual celebration of expansive summer experiences at their favourite destinations around the world. The collaboration will include an immersive wellness pavilion designed by architect Charlotte Taylor, intervention by visual artist Pietro Terzini, wellness session from practitioners including Chris Connors, and regular performances, dinners and sunset soirées.
