Hotels
Our favorite places in Palma and Soller!
Palma Suites is an affordable 4-star hotel right in the middle of Palma (nightly rates start around $170, which is pretty good for the area!). Its rooms are set up like loft apartments so you’ll have all the amenities you need during your stay (inclu...
Palma Suites
HM Palma Blanc is a fabulous hotel in the center of Palma and was the hotel of choice for most of our friends staying in Mallorca. They have a great spa and sauna and beautiful rooms overlooking downtown Palma.
HM Palma Blanc
The Salvia is an adults-only hotel in Soller and it was a major highlight of our trip. This 19th century mansion was converted into a hotel a few decades ago and is now run by a lovely young Polish couple. It’s calm, quiet, and private, with a truly ...
The Salvia
Restaurants & Wine Bars
A classic, beloved spot with great tapas and a ton of Vermouth options (Vermouth is huge in Mallorca!)
La Rosa Vermutería & Colmado
Incredible, authentic Italian food with a great wine list!
RIKITO
An adorable Mexican-Spanish fusion spot with only locally-sourced ingredients. Try the soft-shell crab tacos, they were delicious!
Mestís
A tiny hole-in-the-wall with a unique and thorough tacos menus. The desserts are a hit too.
L'Informal Tacos
Say tequila! As much as Mallorca loves Vermouth, tequila is a close second and this bar specializes in it. Fabulous spot to get drinks before dinner at Rikito or Mestis!
AGABAR
THE natural wine bar and shop to visit in Palma. A tiny, curated selection of some great natural, organic, and biodynamic wines from select regions around Europe. You can pick out your bottle and drink it inside the shop or take it to go.
CAV.
This is a great little lunch spot in the middle of one of Palma’s beautiful parks. Great view of the park and the museum. Their coffee is fantastic.
CAFÉ POUPETTE
The cutest bakery in town! It’s owned by a lovely Swedish couple and has all kinds of pastries – from French to Spanish and Mallorcan specialties. Delicious spot for breakfast!
FIKA FARINA
A modern, minimalist wine & cocktail bar with a great selection of local wines and stunning drinks.
Flora Palma
Great little spot for authentic tapas and local cuisine! It’s a decently sized restaurant that is just around the corner from Palma Suites.
Quina Creu
If you only book one of the restaurants I recommend in Soller, book this one! INCREDIBLE food that blends Basque, Catalan, and traditional Spanish style. It rotates seasonally and everything is local and tastes super fresh.
Ca'n Pintxo
A Michelin-starred restaurant with a rotating prix-fixe menu and a lovely selection of Mallorcan wines. A little on the pricier side, but a great spot for lunch.
Restaurant Ca'n Boqueta Sóller
Another adorable tapas spot with great food and fantastic ambiance.
CA'N KARLITO, Soller
Located right in the middle of the town square, this is a great place for people watching! Order a coffee or glass of wine and a couple of snacks and watch other tourists wander about and the lovely tram go back and forth to Palma and Port de Soller.
Café Soller
With a beautiful view of the striking Soller beaches and landscapes, Ses Oliveres is a must-visit dinner spot in Port de Soller. I’d wager to say it is probably one of the best seafood restaurants on the entire island. All the fish is fresh and local...
Restaurante Ses Oliveres
What a special place. If you are looking for fresh, plant-forward dishes and a break from meats, seafood, and paella, Patiki is for you! This place is quite literally right on the beach and has an environmentally-friendly approach to everything they ...
Patiki
Attractions & Museums
This was our favorite experience in Palma! We booked this via Airbnb and expected to share it with a few other couples but nobody else booked so we had a private tour. Leonardo was wonderful and provides cava and snacks during the boat ride. It was s...
Catamaran Tour of Palma
An absolutely stunning example of gothic architecture right in the middle of Palma. You can’t miss it!
Cathedral of Mallorca
The “Arab Baths” of Palma date back to the 10th century. They’re no longer active public bathing houses but it’s a beautiful garden that makes for a lovely stroll.
The Arab baths of Palma de Mallorca
A beautiful, modern art museum with great views from the surrounding terrace.
