This article is about Café del Mar, the club. For Café del Mar the single by Energy 52, see Café del Mar (single).
Café del Mar is a bar located in San Antonio, Ibiza. It is a popular summer tourist destination, noted for its view of the local sunset. Café del Mar is the original "the sunset bar" in San Antonio opened by Ramón Guiral, Carlos Andrea, and José Les in 1978. The translation into English for Café del Mar is "Sea Cafe".

Music
Part of watching the sunset is the music – described as ambient, easy listening instrumental music. The bar originally sold their own tapes of the music but a series of Café del Mar CDs have been sold. As of 2006, there are 13 volumes 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 Classic - Vols. 1 and 2
Café del Mar Dreams - Vols. 1 to 4
Café del Mar 20th Anniversary
Café del Mar Rue Du Soleil
Café del Mar Retrospective
Café del Mar Ibiza Magic Chill Out Trick
Café del Mar 25th Anniversary
