The 6 Best Beachfront Bars in Mallorca, Spain

A laid-back beach bar (or chiringuito as they’re called in Spain) can turn a good beach into a great one. More relaxed than a beach club and generally rough-and-rustic in style, once you find one you like, you’ll want to keep going back. Mallorca has no shortage of beaches, with plenty of them featuring fun, friendly, and informal bars, and we’ve narrowed it down to six of our favorites.

1. Roxy Beach, Portals Nous

Bar, Mediterranean

Located on a small jetty at the side of the beach at Puerto Portals, Roxy Beach is the perfect place to enjoy a cold beer while watching the comings and goings on the beach, or to wind up your day on the sand with a sunset cocktail. You can moor your boat and catch the bar’s own tender dinghy service, so it’s popular with yachties and boat-trippers, but you can also access the bar directly from the beach, or via the steps down the cliff from Portals Nous. Food is simple but good and the breakfasts are popular, but it’s really all about the drinks, the socializing, and the views over the sea towards the chichi and buzzing marina.

2. Cap Falco Beach Bar, Calvià

Bar, Spanish, Cocktails, Wine, Beer

Cala Falco is a tiny, picturesque cove surrounded by pine forest, crystal-clear turquoise waters and a few sun-loungers on the sand, and the Cap Falco Beach Bar makes this idyllic cove even more appealing. While the bar itself is fittingly rustic in style, the food and drinks offered are far from basic, with an excellent wine and cocktail list, and the choice of a simple lunchtime baguette or an excellent burger, salad, or a grilled fresh fish platter. There are a few high tables and stools in front of the bar, larger tables and chairs in the shade and some comfier lounge seating under the trees at the back of the beach. This is the kind of location that makes you feel like you’ve landed yourself a slice of paradise for the day.

3. S’Embat, Ses Covetes

Bar, Restaurant, Mediterranean, Spanish

Set in the pine forest at the back of famous Es Trenc beach, S’Embat beach bar has an old-school hippie feel to it, with a classic palm-roofed bar and low purple tables and stools built into the sand among the trees, as well as plastic tables and chairs by the bar. Popular with locals, this bar has regular circus acts and live bands (mostly playing reggae music) at the weekends. A bit like stepping back in time, but fun nonetheless, this is the place to go if you’re after a seriously chilled-out vibe with live music, cheap(ish) food and dancing on the sandy floor of the forest.

5. Blue Bar Chiringuito, Portocolom

Bar, Pub Grub, Wine, Beer, Cocktails

Perched on the rocks above the sea, among the pine trees, Blue Bar Chiringuito is relaxed and unpretentious, with great views and decent cocktails. The seafood is pretty good, and it’s a nice place to while away a couple of hours, watching the yachts bobbing in the bay as the sun sets. A popular bar with tourists, its slightly more hidden location makes it easier to get a table than at the other beach bars right on the sand at Porto Colom.

6. Chiringuito de Cala Sa Nau, S’horta

Not far from the popular resort of Cala D’Or, Cala Sa Nau is a small, sandy beach with clean, clear water at the end of a long, S-shaped rocky inlet. There are sunbeds for hire and the Cala Sa Nau chiringuito at the back of the beach has an excellent range of beers, wines and cocktails, as well as ice-creams, tapas, and more substantial paellas, and grilled meats and fish. It gets very busy in high season, but you can call ahead and book a table. The relaxed, fun atmosphere continues in the evenings when there are frequently DJs and live music.
