# Best Beach Restaurants in Mallorca > Seven Mallorca beach restaurants with real menus, from Ponderosa Beach's author paella on Playa de Muro to the boat-only Restaurante Sa Foradada near Deià. - **Canonical URL:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/best-beach-restaurants - **City:** Mallorca, Spain - **Published:** 2026-08-07 - **Author:** Justin Mota, Guidavera founder - **Reading time:** 8 min ## Introduction Seven Mallorca restaurants put you close enough to the water to feel the spray, and all of them hand you a proper menu instead of a lounger-side snack list. Ponderosa Beach cooks chef Kike Martí's author rice dishes and paella right on the sand at Playa de Muro. Restaurante Sa Foradada sits on a cliff near Deià that most guests reach only by a roughly 45-minute boat ride from Port de Sóller, or an hour's walk in from the Son Marroig estate. Patiki Beach runs a seasonal, island-sourced menu out of a bamboo-shaded shack on Repic beach in Port de Sóller. ## Key picks at a glance - **Best for a boat-trip adventure** — [Restaurante Sa Foradada](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-sa-foradada): usually reached by a roughly 45-minute boat ride from Port de Sóller or an hour's walk from the Son Marroig estate, with wood-fired paella waiting at the end. - **Best rice and paella on the sand** — [Ponderosa Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/ponderosa-beach-ponderosa-beach-club): chef Kike Martí's author rice dishes and paella, built on regional seafood and local rice varieties, served right at Playa de Muro. - **Best for a dressed-up seafront lunch** — [Sea Club](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/sea-club-hotel-cap-rocat): the casual seafront sibling to Hotel Cap Rocat's fine-dining La Fortaleza, with a smart-casual dress code after 7pm. - **Best for sushi and teppanyaki by the water** — [Maria 5 Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/maria-5-beach): chef Gunnar Blischke's Asian fusion menu, with one foot on the sand at Camp de Mar. - **Best for a laid-back, island-sourced lunch** — [Patiki Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/patiki-beach-patiki-beach-bar-and-kitchen): a bamboo-shaded shack building its menu around fish, salads and vegetables sourced on the island. - **Best long-standing family kitchen** — [Restaurant Es Canyis](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurant-es-canyis): a long family tradition on Port de Sóller's beachfront, serving Mallorcan and seafood cooking with French touches. ## A guide to Beach Restaurants in Mallorca ### The scene The rest span the island's coasts. Sea Club at Hotel Cap Rocat in Cala Blava is the casual seafront sibling to the hotel's fine-dining La Fortaleza. Beso Beach Mallorca, at the Zel Mallorca hotel in Palmanova, pairs Basque recipes with Mediterranean seafood in a beach-club format built around sit-down meals. Maria 5 Beach in Camp de Mar puts chef Gunnar Blischke's sushi and teppanyaki on the sand. And Restaurant Es Canyis, a long-running family restaurant on Port de Sóller's Platja d'en Repic, serves Mallorcan and seafood dishes with French touches. Every entry here is a sit-down restaurant with a kitchen behind it, not a beach bar that happens to plate up snacks. A few of these run seasonally or need advance booking; where that's the case, we've said so rather than guess at dates or availability. ### Which Mallorca beach restaurant do you have to reach by boat? Restaurante Sa Foradada, on the cliffs near Deià. Most guests arrive by boat from Port de Sóller, around 45 minutes by sea, then climb rustic stairs from a small pier. You can also walk in from the Son Marroig estate, about an hour on foot. ### Who's the chef at Ponderosa Beach on Playa de Muro? Kike Martí leads the kitchen at Ponderosa Beach, known for arroces de autor, author rice dishes and paella built on regional seafood and local rice varieties, served right on the sand. ### What's the relationship between Sea Club and La Fortaleza at Hotel Cap Rocat? Sea Club is the casual seaside restaurant at Hotel Cap Rocat in Cala Blava, serving grilled and wood-oven meat and fish plus rice dishes. La Fortaleza is the hotel's fine-dining counterpart. ### Does Maria 5 Beach have a sister restaurant? Yes. Maria 5 Beach on Camp de Mar's sand is the seafront half of the Maria 5 pair. Maria 5 Urban, the more formal city sister restaurant, is in central Palma, and both share head chef Gunnar Blischke's kitchen team. > "The best beach lunch on this list asks for a boat ticket before it asks for a reservation." ## How we built this list We built this list the slow way, and a beach-restaurant list needs its own lens. The bar to make it was strict: a real sit-down kitchen with a proper menu, not a lounger-side snack bar that happens to plate up a few things. From there we weighed the signals we use everywhere, professional recognition, what consistent diners say, and the actual menus, rather than ranking from a desk. Several of these places run seasonally or need booking ahead. Where that is true we have said so plainly instead of guessing at dates, because a beach lunch you cannot actually get into is not a recommendation. ## The 7 best Beach Restaurants, compared | # | Restaurant | Neighbourhood | Price | Distinction | Signature dish | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Sea Club](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/sea-club-hotel-cap-rocat) | Cala Blava | €€€ | — | — | | 2 | [Beso Beach Mallorca](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/beso-beach-mallorca-at-zel-mallorca-melia) | Palmanova | €€€ | — | Lata de caviar Beluga 10 gr | | 3 | [Patiki Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/patiki-beach-patiki-beach-bar-and-kitchen) | Port de Sóller | € | — | Black mallorcan olives / Olivas negras mallorquinas | | 4 | [Ponderosa Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/ponderosa-beach-ponderosa-beach-club) | Platja de Muro | €€€ | — | — | | 5 | [Restaurante Sa Foradada](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-sa-foradada) | Deià | €€€€ | — | — | | 6 | [Maria 5 Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/maria-5-beach) | Es Camp de Mar | €€€ | — | Edamame | | 7 | [Restaurant Es Canyis](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurant-es-canyis) | Port de Sóller | €€ | — | — | ## The 7 best Beach Restaurants in Mallorca ### 1.

They're spread around the island's coasts, and they come in very different forms. At one end is the polished beach-club format, like Sea Club at Hotel Cap Rocat or Beso Beach in Palmanova; at the other, a bamboo-shaded shack like Patiki Beach on Repic beach in Port de Sóller. Some put a serious kitchen on the sand, from Ponderosa Beach's author rice at Playa de Muro to Maria 5 Beach's sushi and teppanyaki at Camp de Mar, while others, like the family-run Es Canyis, have simply been doing it for years. A few aren't easy to reach at all: Sa Foradada, on its cliff near Deià, is a boat ride or an hour's walk from the nearest road. What ties them together is the island geography itself. Eating well by the water here usually means picking a coast and planning the trip, and checking that the place is open before you go. ## Know before you go ### 1. Some run seasonally, check opening dates Several of these run seasonally, including Sea Club at Hotel Cap Rocat and Beso Beach Mallorca; confirm opening dates before you plan a trip. ### 2. Sa Foradada is boat-or-hike access, by reservation Restaurante Sa Foradada requires a reservation, and most guests arrive by boat from Port de Sóller (around 45 minutes) or on foot from the Son Marroig estate (about an hour); reviews suggest calling early in the morning. ### 3. Book Ponderosa Beach ahead in July and August Ponderosa Beach is one of the busiest beach restaurants on the north coast in peak season, so book ahead for July and August. ### 4. Sea Club: over-15s only, smart-casual after 7pm Sea Club at Hotel Cap Rocat doesn't accept guests under 15, and a smart-casual dress code applies after 7pm. ### 5. Es Canyis closes Monday and Tuesday Restaurant Es Canyis lists service Wednesday through Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday; confirm current hours before booking. ### 6. Patiki and Es Canyis share the Port de Sóller beachfront Patiki Beach and Restaurant Es Canyis both sit on the Port de Sóller beachfront (Repic beach / Platja d'en Repic), so they're easy to compare in one trip. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which Mallorca beach restaurant do you have to reach by boat?
