Travelling to Palma is synonymous with visiting a modern, elegant and sophisticated city. This is demonstrated by the impressive range of establishments that have managed to promote their more Mediterranean and cosmopolitan character by offering visitors all the latest trends from the most bohemian to the most avant-garde, but without losing the Balearic essence
The most exclusive clubs, the most exotic bars, terraces with the best views and incredibly chic restaurants all offer unforgettable moments for discerning clientele. These trendy spots have become a fundamental part of the Balearic capital’s unstoppable growth.
If there is one thing that characterises Palma, it’s its nightlife. It’s fair to say Palma has reached a level of quality that’s very difficult to find anywhere else in the world. Impressive clubs with renowned DJs on the national scene play a combination of the hottest musical genres in top-quality nightclubs like Kaelum Club, Tito’s, Garito, Bolsa del Marítimo, Social Club Mallorca, Mala The Bar and Bar Lisboa, which kicks off its evening entertainment with live DJs. In all these clubs the maxim is elegance, distinction and an atmosphere of luxury that can only be found in Palma.
There’s also a great nu of cool places in the centre of the Balearic capital for those who prefer daytime entertainment. The big problem is trying to choose one and discard the others. One place not to be missed for tried-and-true coffee lovers is La Molienda, a historic establishment on the island with its intense aromas and the unique preparation of all its specialities surrounded by a cosy, simple, warm and very traditional decoration. To innovate and seek out a new experience, Palma has new options like the coffee shop at Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, all those who try it, always want to repeat the experience.
We shouldn’t forget the importance of architecture and nature in Palma, elements that can be seen from the terraces ideally located to bring out all the beauty of the urban and natural landscape of the Balearic capital. An experience that can be accompanied with a delicious cocktail while watching the sunset in the later afternoon.
Both Es Baluard and Hostal Cuba have great views of the port and the sea, and you can get a panoramic 360º view of the entire city without leaving the rooftop swimming pool at Nakar Hotel.
You have a spectacular view of the sea; the HM Tropical hotel boasts a privileged location for Playa de Palma beach. Other places worthy of a visit for their stunning views include Sant Francesc, Es Princep, Can Alomar, Saratoga and the Almudaina, which manages to reach the same level of exclusivity from the skies of Palma.
Some of these terraces belong to hotels whose cuisine offers the most exquisite creations prepared using the best local ingredients. But to take it a step further and discover the most popular restaurants that everyone’s raving about, there’s nothing better than trying culinary experiences at places like the Botànic restaurant in Can Bordoy hotel, which embodies the very best of healthy Mediterranean cuisine; the extraordinary meats at 49 Steps Bar & Grill Cuisin, gourmet fusions at Nuru Restaurant; tradition taken to perfection at La Paloma and other gastronomic proposals such as those on offer at the Bon Lloc restaurant, which serves vegan haute cuisine delicacies or the excellent tapas at Ombu.
With all these unique places, Palma’s most remarkable side is discovered. The number one city for those who love authentic and distinctive places, glorious paradise.
