Music and magic
No Ibiza holiday experience is complete without applauding a spectacular sunset from the front row seats at Café Mambo, perched in pride of place on San Antonio’s legendary sunset strip. The iconic institution boasts a long history of great music, famous DJs, world-renowned parties - the things Ibiza legends are made of.
Soak up the vibe on the white sail covered terrace with cocktails, sangria, icy cold beer or champagne. Feeling peckish? The kitchen serves tasty favourites like burgers, steaks, curry, pasta and salads to keep your stamina up.
Originally a dilapidated house snapped up (and jazzed up!) by founder Javier Anadón in 1994, Café Mambo has been attracting superstar DJs such as Sasha, Paul Oakenfold and Pete Tong for the past 17 years.
Home to most Pacha pre-parties, you’ll find Erick Morillo, Pete Tong, Cadenza Vagabundos and Swedish House Mafia spinning tracks alongside faithful Mambo residents Jason Bye, Alex Wolfenden and Andy Baxter on their respective nights. On Tuesdays, Eric Prydz is in the house, while Saturday is Defected’s domain.
For the Café Mambo team – with Javier’s sons Christian and Alan at the helm - the customer always comes first, creating an atmosphere of happy times and feel-good factors. At that magic moment when the sky turns crimson and the burning orange sun dips into the sea, all hail the Café Mambo kings!
