General information

In a paradise such as this, where so much beauty is on offer, it would be a shame to stay put in one place. Take advantage of the time and opportunity to really get to know the island and its diversity. Visit Palma’s old town with its Andalusian inner courtyards, “La Seu” Cathedral, the Arabic baths and the Almudaina palace. A further highlight is the town of Soller, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. It is surrounded by orange plantations, and is located behind an enchanting mountain scenery on the north coast of the island.

The capital and vibrant core of the Balearic Islands has something to offer for everybody. Whether you are on the look-out for culture, for picturesque landscapes, rest and relaxation, or whether you want to experience Europe’s biggest, legendary “non-stop party” (Ballermann 6) for yourself, the island of Mallorca offers all this and more!

Nightlife

Mallorca owes its reputation as one of THE party islands mainly to the Playa de Palma: between April and October, the density of discos and bars here is unparalleled. Wherever you go – Ballermann 6, Oberbayern or any one of the lesser-known discos in the island’s capital – a lively atmosphere and Mediterranean flair await you.

 

“Tito’s”, right next to the yacht harbour of Palma, covers several storeys. The bar with the exterior lift made of glass and – so it is said – one of the loveliest views across the night-time Mediterranean, is one of the most popular clubs in Palma.

 

The biggest and, for many the best, club on the Playa de Palma is the Riu Palace. The dance floor is enormous, with techno, dancefloor and chart music inviting you up. Four bars and several suites round off the offer.

 

Abraxas has only recently been reunited with its old name. In the meantime it was known as Pacha, named after the famous big club on Ibiza. This star-studded disco – sunk partially into the cliffs – doesn’t usually fill up until 2 a.m., when the typical Ibiza house sound fills the night.

 

 

Restaurants

Cuchara Paseo Mallorca (Santa Catalina de Siena 4) has the ambience of a high-class traditional Spanish tavern. Its specialities include gambas al ajillo, Galician lamb and beef, and the selection of wine is also something to be proud of. Cuchara is closed on Sundays and bank holidays.

 

Koldo Royo (Ingeniero Gabriel Roca 3) has long since been a permanent address amongst gourmets. The restaurant serves up traditional Spanish dishes which, prepared with a great deal of imagination and skill, have been bearing a Michelin star for many years.

 

Light Mediterranean food in the mid-price range is on offer at Restaurant 801 (Placa Comtat del Rosello). It is worth taking a detour to the restaurant – in what used to be a branch of a bank – for its striking design concept alone.

 

And if you prefer to get away from the tourist centres, then stop off for a couple of tapas or other snacks at the Taberna de Caracól (Carrer de Sant Alonso 2). You will find the small restaurant in the old town, around the corner from the Museu de Mallorca.
