The iconic Parisian brand Silencio will launch a beach house in Ibiza, El Silencio, from June 16, 2021 in partnership with ToShare (restaurant concept by Jean Imbert, Pharrell Williams), Miranda Makaroff, Moredesign and Arman Naféei.


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. The beach house will feature four main spaces, including a main restaurant, contemporary tapas restaurant by the pool alongside a cocktail bar, a private dining room and chill out area.


There will be a rich cultural programme on offer including screenings, music and events, in a similar vein to Silencio’s much sought-after Paris club.
El Silencio will be a hangout for global creatives, at a time when people are seeking inspiration, revitalisation, and much-needed human connection. The new venture promises to provide space and sanctuary for locals and island visitors alike, with an eclectic mix of Mediterranean cuisine, delicious cocktails, and unpredictable cultural programming.


The new venture follows the brand’s successful pop-ups during Miami Art Basel, Cannes Film Festival, Venice Biennale and London’s Serpentine Gallery Future Contemporaries and will positively disrupt Ibiza’s buzzing cultural scene at a time when the island is already soul-searching about its future direction. El Silencio has been inspired by the island’s enduring spirit; connecting people through a fun, laid-back, open ambience.


“For us, Ibiza is a natural destination for a new 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
The cuisine will be spearheaded by ToShare the restaurant concept created by French chef Jean Imbert in collaboration with Pharrell Williams. Cocktails will be fronted by Madrid-based bartender Diego Cabrera, owner of Salmon Guru, included in the World’s 50 Best Bars. El Silencio will also be home to an immersive large-scale art installation by internationally acclaimed Ibiza based artist, Miranda Makaroff.


Following the successful launch of renowned French chef Jean Imbert’s restaurant ToSHARE in St Tropez last year in collaboration with Pharrell Williams, the pair have adapted the concept for an Ibizan audience. ToSHARE at El Silencio will offer high quality street food to share, made from locally sourced products. The beach house will also be home to a contemporary tapas restaurant by the pool, serving small plates throughout the day. A takeaway option to be enjoyed on the surrounding beach reflects Silencio’s intention to make this a place open to everyone visiting Cala Moli.
Meanwhile, 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.
