By Jose Rains, Updated

Palma offers a great variety of rooftop bars that are the perfect spot for enjoying some spectacular scenery with a sundowner of choice in your hand.

Palma is a great city-break destination, not only because of its world-renowned monuments and museums, charming old town and gourmet restaurants, but also because it offers plenty of elevated space in which to soak up the sunshine.

Palma’s bars and restaurants offer a huge variety of delicious tipples to sip on, with everything from divine, local and organic wines, imaginative and seasonal cocktails, enormous fish-bowl gin and tonics, and of course, a simple but deliciously cold, thirst-quenching beer. With a wide range of elevated venues to choose from, here’s our guide on how to perfectly pair your drinks with Palma’s best rooftop haunts and relax on trendy terraces, amidst glorious architecture, usually with knockout sunset views.

Top Rooftop Bars

Hotel Almudaina Sky Area

Almudaina Hotel

Location
Palma de Mallorca

Seeking the ultimate city views? Hotel Almudaina hits the spot! A hidden treasure – you’ll more than likely walk straight past this hotel’s tiny entrance on the busy street of favourite shopping haunt, Avenida de Jaume III. Once inside and upstairs, you’ll be rewarded with knockout views of the cathedral, the city’s best historical architecture and of course the glittering port. Situated in Jaime III, the city's most popular avenue, most prestigious shopping area and very close to the seafront promenade, the Cathedral, the port and the old quarter.

The 70 guestrooms at this hotel offer satellite television, air-conditioning, direct-dial telephones, wireless Internet access, and private bathrooms with bathrobes.

Guests of the Hotel Almudaina Palma can make use of a complimentary daily breakfast. Further amenities of the hotel include 24-hour reception, a television lounge, a restaurant, complimentary wireless Internet access throughout the premises, and a bar on the rooftop terrace. More modest than Palma’s other rooftop terraces, you’ll be pleased to know that the drinks here are much more affordable allowing you to leave without having broken the bank.

Hostal Cuba Bar and Restaurant

Location
Palma de Mallorca

Housed in a striking colonial-style building at the edge of Palma’s trendy Santa Catalina district, this is a long-standing local favourite that blends good food, great views and a vibrant social scene. Having made its mark in recent years as one of the more sophisticated venues within the hip city district, its Sky Bar is undoubtedly a great choice in which to start your night. Just a few blocks from the island’s best-known food market, the kitchen makes the most of fresh, seasonal produce, creating a menu of healthy, flavourful dishes served from breakfast through to late dinner.

Whether you choose to dine indoors or on one of the terrace spaces, the focus is on relaxed hospitality and well-prepared food that leaves you feeling genuinely looked after. It’s an easy place to linger, whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch or an unhurried dinner. Take the lift up from the ground floor level of Hostal Cuba and make sure you grab your table early. You’ll be attentively served by dapper waiters, whilst marvelling out at the sensational panoramic views of the harbour, old town and cathedral. Those arriving at around 18.00 will secure a table easily, but any later and you’ll likely have to wait.

One of Hostal Cuba’s biggest draws is its rooftop Sky Bar. Open in the afternoon and evenings, it offers sweeping views across the Bay of Palma, with the cathedral rising above the treetops. It’s a wonderful spot for sunset cocktails and one of the city’s most atmospheric vantage points. Later on, the mood shifts as the club comes to life, making Hostal Cuba a popular destination for night owls looking to enjoy Palma after dark. From daytime dining to late-night drinks, this is a place that captures the energy and character of the city.
