Sky Bar

Views from the Sky Bar

Located on the rooftop of the luxurious Hostal Cuba, is the hotel’s new addition: Sky Bar. The panoramic views right across the city are spectacular and the rooftop also gives a view over the cathedral and the harbor. DJs and live performers provide music to match the relaxed mood of the bar. Cocktails, prepared to perfection, are very popular at Sky Bar and which are a wonderful accompaniment to the beautiful scene of a sunset over Palma.

Bar España

In the heart of Palma is an authentic tapas bar, Bar España. From tortillas to unique tapas, this bar offers the best of the national cuisine (try the crab on toast and cheese with quince tapas) alongside a wide selection of beers, locally produced or universally known brands. With indie and 80s music playing on the loudspeakers, Bar España provides tourists as well as locals of all ages with an alternative-style and unpretentious place to socialize. The chefs and barmen show true passion in what they do, which is what makes Bar España so successful and a must-visit bar.

Opio Bar

Inside the Puro Hotel, Opio Bar is a favorite meeting place for locals and tourists. Creativity and originality influence its Mediterranean and Asian cuisine, with dishes prepared by chef Nico Malenchini. Drinks and cocktails are well made at this cosmopolitan bar; enjoy on the patio while the DJs set the mood.

Wineing

A wine connoisseur’s heaven, Wineing shares its love for wine of all flavors and aromas. At Wineing sample as many of the 48 different wines here as you can, at the amount that suits you; by the mouthful, half glass, full glass or a whole bottle. There is a small menu of nibbles and light meals to go with the drinks.

Antiquari

Exciting and eclectic, the café Antiquari is an unmissable bar in Palma. Stepping through the door the quirky décor and bohemian atmosphere are striking, with non-matching furniture and art on the wall. Antiquari’s fun vibe invites eager customers to explore their menu and freshly prepared tapas and pintxos alongside their well-priced drinks. There’s often live music and so this is a great place for discovering the local music scene.

Palapa

Located in the Santa Catalina neighborhood of Palma is Palapa, a restaurant serving both tapas and great Italian cuisine. Or just go for drinks in its quiet, relaxing bar; the perfect way to escape the many tourist-filled bars in Palma.

Bar Abaco

Located in the historic area of Palma is Bar Abaco, a bar which seems to have frozen in time. Set inside a 17th century mansion, whose original Baroque structure and architecture has been restored, you’ll find the bar down a sweeping staircase. The décor of Bar Abaco is something to feast your eyes on: antiques, fruits, flower arrangements and candles fill the room, offering a dramatic backdrop to a glass of Spanish wine or a cocktail.

Capricho Bar

In the heart of Puerto Portals is Capricho Bar, particularly popular with those who come off their yachts in the nearby marina. Capricho Bar offers panoramic views of the bobbing boats on the peaceful water and a large selection of alcoholic drinks, including champagne, cocktails with Mediterranean influences and traditional Spanish gins. Whether you prefer to relax on the outdoor terrace or dance the night away to the live DJ’s music, Capricho Bar guarantees a fun night out.

La Cabana Bar and Lounge

Portals Hills Boutique Hotel is home to one of the best bars in Majorca, La Cabana Bar and Lounge, set under swaying palm trees beside a swimming pool. With stunning views of Portals Nous, La Cabana is a popular location for gatherings with friends serving the full range of delicious drinks and providing chilled-out DJ sets several times a week.

Goodfellas Music Bar

Goodfellas boasts great music and guaranteed fun. Dancing until the early hours of the morning is to be expected; music varies from live singers and bands to favorite party tunes. Themed party nights happen monthly at Goodfellas and the bar offers flavored shots that include Murray Mints and Crème Egg vodka, always a customer favorite.

About the author

Born to Chilean parents in London, but brought up in Buckinghamshire, Paula has benefitted from a multicultural lifestyle. An inexplicable love for even the most complicated grammar motivated her to study French and Russian at the University of Oxford. She had the opportunity of spending most of her year abroad in Yaroslavl’, Russia, but also of travelling around Belgium and France. Although devoted to world literature, there isn’t a moment where you won’t find Paula either listening to or playing music, whether it is rock, metal, classical, South American folk or Latin. This little addiction however does allow time for Paula to enjoy other passions, including fencing and chain-watching detective TV series.
