"The Café del Mar, Hôtel Costes, Buddha Bar and Verve Remixed compilations satisfied the yuppie-ish chill-out, downtempo, lounge and trip hop aesthetic of the late 1990s and the early 2000s. Yet they were an ersatz product compared to Italian lounge of the 1960s and 1970s."--Sholem Stein

Café del Mar is a bar located in Ibiza. It is a popular summer tourist destination, noted for its view of the local sunset. Café del Mar is the original Ibizan "sunset bar", opened by Ramón Guiral, Carlos Andrea, and José Les in 1978.

Music

The Café del Mar releases compilation albums with tracks selected by the bar's own DJs. The music selection is intended to induce the mood that is experienced watching a sunset. The tracks are described as ambient, easy listening music. The bar originally sold their own tapes of the music but a series of Café del Mar CDs have been sold. As of 2007, there are 14 volumes, numerous side compilations, plus 2 albums commemorating the 20th and 25th Anniversary. A total of about 9 million albums have been sold worldwide.

The original first six volumes' tracklists were selected by José Padilla, a DJ then commonly found at the Café del Mar.

In the summer of 2005 Café del Mar celebrated their 25th Anniversary with a special album and a festival on a big stage in front of the sea. Four Café del Mar artists were invited to play live at the festival: D.A.B. (Spain), Tom Oliver (Germany, also on the 25th Anniversary CD), Paco Fernandez (Spain) and La Caina (France).

The series has since expanded with a number of spin-off albums:

  • Café del Mar Aria - Vols. 1 to 3
  • Café del Mar Classic - Vols. 1 to 3
  • Café del Mar Chillhouse Mix - Vols. 1 to 4
  • Café del Mar Dreams - Vols. 1 to 4
  • Café del Mar 20th Anniversary
  • Café del Mar 25th Anniversary
  • Café del Mar - The Best of
  • Café del Mar The Best 2002
  • Café del Mar Essential Feelings - La Corporacion
  • Café del Mar Vue Mer
  • London Café Del Mar
