The Beach Caves launches at Six Senses Ibiza
Why You Should Visit The Beach Caves
Opening this May at Six Senses Ibiza, The Beach Caves is an exciting new destination that brings a unique, sophisticated and fun approach to dining, music, and entertainment to the White Isle’s beautiful north. Located oceanfront and overlooking Xarraca Bay, The Beach Caves will be home to a restaurant and bar that celebrates produce from Ibiza and takes inspiration from Latin America. It is also home to a private dining room, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar, a nightlife venue, a state-of-the-art recording studio, six impressive Beach Cave Suites, with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea and sweeping views of Ibiza’s famed sunsets, and a future retail ́kiosk ́/gallery. The Beach Caves is a collaboration between Six Senses Ibiza’s owner and developer Jonathan Leitersdorf and hospitality pioneer Ben Pundole, who has taken the reigns as the Beach Caves Creative Director, and has been visiting Ibiza since he was a child, working alongside Ben’s partners Michelle Reiss and Shiry Yosef to bring the vision to life.
The Music
Rounding out the team, globetrotting DJ and Ibiza resident Taryn Picket joins as Music Director. Taryn will oversee the live music programming with an emphasis on local talent, as well as managing the Recording Studio schedule for local and international artists. Kamil Parchomienko also joins as The Beach Caves impresario, having worked alongside Andre Balazs for almost 20 years in Miami, New York, and LA. Originally from Europe, Kamil ́s experience brings a unique energy with his own personal brand of sophistication and fun to help create meaningful experiences and magical moments for guests.
With music, community, and celebration at its core, The Beach Caves will exude Balearic spirit and promise to be unapologetically ‘Ibiza’. In the spirit of collaboration, the team has partnered with local artists, artisans, and performers, including a collective of notable international talent such as Duran Duran, Benji B, and Blondish, to create an annual programme of events and activations including live performances, art installations, an artist- in-residence program and a series of talks and workshops unique to this part of the island. The ongoing cultural programme will be open for hotel guests and islanders alike, bringing a strong sense of community to the space. The Beach Caves has also partnered with ‘diego&alexeja’, the Ibiza-based creative design studio founded by Alexeja Pozzoni and Diego Alonso, creators of the island’s beloved ChAI ShOP Shop, an appointment-only showroom. Crafting sublime spaces designed for energetic cleansing and creative escape, ‘diego&alexeja ́ brings the unique poetic spirit of Ibiza into the design of The Beach Caves.
Sustainability Approach
The Beach Caves will bolster Six Senses Ibiza’s dedication to sustainability, including a ban on single use plastics and a commitment to seeking the best local and seasonal produce. The Beach Caves Restaurant will operate a zero-waste philosophy, and guests booking the Beach Cave Suites will be encouraged to offset their carbon footprint through a partnership with Carbonfund.org. As part of the ongoing support for the local community, the team will donate 1 Є from the sale of every Los Gatos cocktail sold at the Beach Caves to the Happy Hippie Cat Sanctuary. With a focus on social sustainability, The Beach Caves will strive to sustain a healthy, enjoyable, and supportive employee culture.
The Beach Caves Restaurant and Terrace
This new concept by Ben Pundole celebrates locally sourced, seasonal ingredients; Latin American flavors inspired by Peru and Mexico; and the Mediterranean respect for produce. The 108-seat restaurant and seafront terrace overlooking Xarraca Bay will feature signature dishes artfully paired with eclectic cocktails and an impressive selection of natural, organic wines. Tucked away, the Private Dining Room seats up to 18 guests for celebratory group dining.
Menu highlights Include the Oven Baked Pastelito, served with smoked corn, zucchini, and cilantro, the Lemon Fish Tiradito, which is paired with guayaba, pomegranate, and chilaca pepper, the Formentera Red Lobster Taco, freshly grilled with avocado and lime, and the Warm-Roasted Pineapple quinoa.
Overlooking the dining room is a newly commissioned floor-to-ceiling mural created by Montreal-born contemporary artist, Carlito Dalceggio, whose work across painting, sculpture, objects, and performance spans the globe from Mexico City to Bangkok. Named La Asamblea de los Espíritus Libres (‘The Assembly of Free Spirits’), the mural celebrates peace and freedom at a time when the world needs it most.
The Bar at The Beach Caves
This welcoming all-day-into-night venue is spearheaded by award-winning drinks expert Davide Segat, previously the global Director of Bars for EDITION hotels and recently NoMad London. His uplifting, innovative approach to cocktails explore the unique flavours and produce of the island. The Bar will also offer a curated selection of agave-distilled spirits, tequila and mezcal. The Xarraca Room: A centrepiece of The Beach Caves is an intimate nightlife venue offering arts and music programming in partnership with Barcelona-based artist and designer Lydia Delgado in collaboration with Fabre I Fauquie Studio.
