Our selection of the eateries with the most majestic Mediterranean views this summer
If you're flying to Mallorca during the day, your first experience of dining with incredible views might well be on the plane while you dig into a packet of peanuts. Personally, I can't help feeling a thrill when those majestic cliffs of Cap de Formentor come into view.
Of course, it doesn't need to stop there and, fortunately, you don't need to be thousands of metres up in the sky to enjoy stunning vistas. Mallorca is full of them. Here are some recommendations where feasting on the view is a must.
Perched on the cliffs of Cala Deià, Ca’s Patró March offers an unforgettable seaside dining experience in western Mallorca. This charming, rustic restaurant is famed for its fresh, locally sourced seafood and breathtaking views over turquoise waters. Whether you choose a table on the terrace or inside among the simple, welcoming décor, the focus is always on the spectacular setting and high-quality cuisine.
Perched on the ninth floor of the Jumeirah Mallorca, Es Fanals offers a fine dining experience with breathtaking views over Port de Sóller, where the rugged mountains meet the tranquil Mediterranean. This Michelin Guide-featured restaurant celebrates the gastronomic treasures of the Balearic Islands, with tasting menus crafted from the freshest local produce and expertly presented under the guidance of Chef Javier Lopez.
Several tour guides will agree that it’s simply a sin to leave Mallorca without having watched the sunset from Es Trenc Beach. Located in the heart of Colonia de Sant Jordi, this restaurant serves local cuisine right in front of the Mediterranean sea with views over the island of Cabrera. The crystal-clear waters, never-ending sand dunes and lush green surroundings, create a magical haven dressed in Mallorca’s best natural palettes.
This beach club is located next to the Portals Nous area in Calvia. It's perfect for those looking to relax and unwind. There is a large terrace, a swimming pool and Bali beds facing the sea. The restaurant menu includes salads, fish and meat dishes and desserts. There is also a poolside menu and a large variety of drinks on offer. All of this with stunning views of the Mediterranean sea.
Overlooking a popular little anchorage, enjoy traditionally cooked paella and gambas with a magnificent view. On a cliffside overlooking the glistening sea of the west coast of the island, its location makes it a prime spot for sunset watching. You can’t drive here, so will either have to walk down the mountain via the Son Marroig estate, or visit by boat and head up the steps from the water. It’s a no-frills kind of place, famed for its tasty paellas cooked over an old-fashioned wood-fired grill.
