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

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.

Sunny coastal city vista: marina packed with boats, palm trees, and a cathedral against a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

Hostal Cuba Bar and Restaurant

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.
