The Recess: Grey Goose Toast to the Joy of Living in the Heart of Ibiza

6 August 2026

It happened on a summer afternoon. One of those moments you don’t want to end, even as you eagerly await the instant when the sun begins to slip behind the horizon. The setting could not have been more fitting. The Hotel Mongibello de Ibiza, with its atmosphere inspired by 1960s Italy, became the perfect backdrop for La Récréation, the gathering with which Grey Goose did what it does best: reclaim the pleasure of stopping time, savoring the moment, and celebrating the joy of living.

The afternoon began with the calm that characterizes the island. Amid Mediterranean-inspired architecture and a staging that evoked relaxed elegance, guests such as actors Jorge López, Albert Baró or content creators Noelia Dols and Lola Martínez Portero enjoyed an experience designed to be savored slowly. There was also room for small activities inviting detachment: from a tarot reader for those seeking answers among the cards, to temporary tattoos and ping pong matches, as well as a Condé Nast Traveler kiosk where one could lose themselves among the pages of the magazine’s latest issue. Moreover, the DJs Sophia Ziskin and Ylam Music were responsible for crafting the soundtrack of the evening.

I write about culture, gastronomy, and lifestyle with a deep interest in the places, people, and traditions that shape how we live. I am drawn to stories that feel thoughtful, vivid, and rooted in real experience, whether they begin in a gallery, around a table, or in the rhythm of everyday life.
