Restaurants

3

Celler de sa Premsa

🍽️ Restaurants·Palma

A cavernous old warehouse lined with wine barrels, serving Mallorcan staples since 1958 and now run by the founding family's third generation. Closed Sundays.

Es Verger

🍽️ Restaurants·Alaró

A farmhouse halfway up the Puig d'Alaró known for one dish: slow-roasted lamb shoulder with potatoes. The road up is narrow and steep, and walkers carry on to the Castell d'Alaró ruins. No bookings; closed Mondays.

Ca's Patró March

🍽️ Restaurants·Cala Deià

A fisherman's restaurant on the rocks at Cala Deià, famous since The Night Manager filmed here. Grilled fish and seafood over the water; tables go weeks ahead, so book early and ask for the front row.

🍸

Bars & nightlife

1

Bar Abaco

🍸 Bars·La Llotja, Palma

An old-town mansion turned cocktail bar in 1981: fruit piled on every surface, candles, a courtyard fountain and classical music. The drinks are expensive — you're paying for the room. Opens at 8pm.

Cafés & coffee

2

Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo

☕ Cafés·Palma

Palma's oldest café, pouring since 1700. Order an ensaïmada with thick hot chocolate, or the almond ice cream in summer; the original on Carrer de Can Sanç is the room to sit in.

Gelat Sóller

☕ Cafés·Sóller

Sóller's ice-cream maker on the market square, working with fruit from the island — the orange is the one to order in a valley full of orange groves. Grab a cone before the tram to the port.

🏛️

Museums & culture

8

Catedral de Mallorca (La Seu)

🏛️ Museums·Palma

The Gothic cathedral that owns Palma's waterfront. Inside, find Gaudí's iron canopy over the altar and Miquel Barceló's ceramic chapel, then walk the sea wall below for the classic view back up.

Palau Reial de l'Almudaina

🏛️ Museums·Palma

The royal palace next door to La Seu, raised on the site of the Moorish citadel. The visit runs through Gothic halls, tapestries and the royal chapel; pair the two in one morning.

Castell de Bellver

🏛️ Museums·Palma

One of Europe's few circular castles, built in the early 1300s on a pine-covered hill west of the center. Go up to the roof terrace: the whole bay, the port and the cathedral fit in one look.

Es Baluard Museu d'Art Contemporani

🏛️ Museums·Palma

Modern and contemporary art — Miró, Picasso, Barceló — built into Palma's Renaissance sea wall. The terraces on top of the old ramparts look straight out over the yacht port.

Fundació Miró Mallorca

🏛️ Museums·Cala Major, Palma

Joan Miró moved to Mallorca in 1956 and worked here until his death in 1983. The white studio Josep Lluís Sert built for him is kept much as he left it, paint pots and all.

Cartoixa de Valldemossa

🏛️ Museums·Valldemossa

The Carthusian monastery where Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838–39; the cells they rented are part of the visit. Leave time for Valldemossa's steep stone lanes afterward.

Son Marroig

🏛️ Museums·Deià

Archduke Ludwig Salvator's clifftop estate on the Deià coast road. The white marble gazebo in the garden frames Sa Foradada, the headland with a hole punched through it.

Castell de Capdepera

🏛️ Museums·Capdepera

A 14th-century walled village on the hill above Cala Rajada. Walk the ramparts up to the chapel at the top; on a clear day Menorca shows on the horizon.

🌳

Parks & outdoors

5

Sa Calobra & Torrent de Pareis

🌳 Parks·Escorca

Drive the famous hairpin road down or come by boat from Port de Sóller, then take the path through the rock tunnels to where the Torrent de Pareis gorge meets the sea. Coach tours peak mid-morning.

Mirador des Colomer

🌳 Parks·Formentor

The lookout at the neck of the Formentor peninsula, with cliffs dropping straight to the Colomer islet. From mid-May to mid-October the road is capacity-controlled from 10am to 10pm: arrive early or take the TIB 334 bus.

Parc Natural de s'Albufera

🌳 Parks·Muro

The largest wetland in the Balearics: flat trails and boardwalks through reed beds and canals, with hides for watching herons, egrets and marsh harriers. Entry is free; bring binoculars.

Caló des Moro

🌳 Parks·Santanyí

The tiny pine-framed cove from half of Mallorca's postcards. There's no car park at the cove — you walk in along the coast from Cala s'Almunia — so come early or late: at midday there's barely room to lay a towel.

Es Trenc

🌳 Parks·Campos

Kilometers of white sand with no hotels behind it, inside the natural park that also protects the Salobrar salt flats. The car parks charge in summer; there's little shade, so bring your own.

Things to do

6

Mercat de l'Olivar

🎟️ Things to do·Palma

Palma's big covered market: fish counters, sobrassada and cheese stalls, and a ring of little bars where you can eat seafood standing up before noon. Closed Sundays.

Tren de Sóller

🎟️ Things to do·Palma

The wooden train has run from Palma over the mountains to Sóller since 1912 — about an hour of tunnels, viaducts and orange groves. In Sóller, the old tram carries on down to the port.

Santuari de Lluc

🎟️ Things to do·Escorca

Mallorca's pilgrimage site, deep in the Serra de Tramuntana, home to the Black Madonna of Lluc and the Blauets boys' choir. The trails around it make an easy half-day in the mountains.

Escales del Calvari

🎟️ Things to do·Pollença

Climb the 365 cypress-lined steps from Pollença's old town to the small chapel at the top, then come back down for a drink on Plaça Major.

Murades d'Alcúdia

🎟️ Things to do·Alcúdia

Walk the top of the medieval walls around Alcúdia's old town, then step outside the gate to the Roman ruins of Pollentia. Tuesday and Sunday mornings bring the market inside.

Coves del Drach

🎟️ Things to do·Porto Cristo

A long walk through limestone chambers ends at Lake Martel, where musicians play a short classical concert from boats on the water. Book a timed ticket in summer.
