Lío MallorcaS Rising Star: German Efficiency meets Mediterranean Flair
PALMA DE MALLORCA – Julia Birzele, the 40-year-old manager now considered the right-hand woman to Lío Group boss Julio Bruno, is the driving force behind the success of Lío Mallorca, one of the island’s most exclusive entertainment venues. From her Swabian roots in Ulm, Germany, to orchestrating VIP access for global superstars, Birzele’s journey exemplifies a unique blend of German work ethic and a newly adopted Mediterranean ease.
Birzele’s path wasn’t preordained for the world of high-end nightlife. After studying media business at a technical college in Stuttgart, she sought an habitat that fostered her passion for media, events, and entertainment – something her hometown lacked. “I was drawn to the world of media, events and entertainment, and that simply didn’t exist in Ulm,” she explained. This ambition led her to ibiza and now Mallorca, where she’s become a key figure in the Lío Group’s operations.
Her role extends beyond logistics; Birzele is often at the forefront of celebrity interactions. She’s greeted stars like Lionel Messi, Rafa Nadal, johnny Depp, and Anne Hathaway, and even shared a tequila with Robert Lewandowski at Lío Mallorca this summer. One memorable anecdote involves making coffee for Robbie Williams with her own Nespresso machine at an after-show party in London.
Despite the glamorous surroundings, Birzele maintains a firm grip on Lío’s standards. She recounts an instance where Justin Bieber and his father were asked to adhere to the club’s dress code, ultimately gaining entry only after donning ponchos to cover thier shorts. “Superstars have to follow the rules in the classy glamor restaurant,” she asserts,embodying her “Nothing comes from nothing” work ethic. Birzele describes herself as “the Mediterranean version of a German,” a fitting label for a career woman who has successfully navigated the worlds of german precision and spanish vibrancy.
