Beachouse Ibiza will host A Night by the Sea on 12 July, a charity evening in partnership with the Vellmarí Association aimed at raising funds and awareness for the protection of Posidonia oceanica, the seagrass ecosystem that forms part of Ibiza and Formentera’s UNESCO World Heritage status.
Taking place on the shoreline of Playa d’en Bossa, the event brings together gastronomy, music and marine conservation in a setting long defined by its connection to the Mediterranean. The initiative will support ongoing conservation, restoration and education projects focused on Posidonia (aka Poseidon Grass), often described as the “invisible forest” of the sea for its role in sustaining marine biodiversity and preserving the clarity of the Balearic waters.
Guests will be welcomed for a shared dining experience featuring a menu inspired by island produce and Mediterranean flavours. Dishes include bluefin tuna belly carpaccio and Beachouse’s signature Wagyu, reflecting the venue’s ingredient-led approach and continued emphasis on local and seasonal sourcing.
The evening will also feature marine biologist and conservationist Manu San Félix, who will present photography, film and storytelling documenting the marine environment between Ibiza and Formentera. His work, developed in collaboration with National Geographic, highlights the ecological importance of Posidonia and the pressures it faces from climate change, pollution and human activity.
A photography exhibition will accompany the presentation, alongside a charity raffle and book signing. Live music and DJ sets will continue throughout the evening, moving the event from dinner and storytelling into a more informal late-night atmosphere by the sea.
Posidonia oceanica is one of the longest-living organisms on Earth, producing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide and providing essential habitat for marine life. Despite its ecological importance, it remains under threat across the Mediterranean.
Speaking about the initiative, Manu San Félix noted that the Posidonia meadows between Ibiza and Formentera are “among the most important ecosystems in the Mediterranean” and play a direct role in maintaining the clarity of the islands’ waters. He added that protecting them must be seen as a shared responsibility to ensure their preservation for future generations.
Beachouse Ibiza will also launch a season-long awareness and fundraising programme in collaboration with Vellmarí, extending the impact of the initiative beyond the event itself.
Founder of Island Hospitality, Sofija Mehta, said Beachouse has always been shaped by its relationship with the sea, adding that the event is intended to highlight the Mediterranean as a living ecosystem rather than a visual backdrop.
The charity dinner is priced at €120 per person and includes dinner by the sea, access to the photography exhibition, the conservation talk, live music, and participation in fundraising activities. All profits will support Posidonia conservation, restoration and education initiatives across Ibiza and Formentera.
