# Best Restaurants with a View in Mallorca > Mallorca's best restaurants with a view: Cap Rocat's clifftop fortress, Es Fum's Michelin-starred terrace, and the boat-only cove at Sa Foradada near Deià. - **Canonical URL:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/best-restaurants-with-a-view - **City:** Mallorca, Spain - **Published:** 2026-08-07 - **Author:** Justin Mota, Guidavera founder - **Reading time:** 14 min ## Introduction Mallorca's coastline does a lot of the work for its restaurants, and this list runs from a converted military fortress at Cap Rocat to a cliffside paella spot near Deià that most people reach by boat. At Cap Rocat, Sea Club and La Fortaleza share one fortress but split the experience: a casual seaside summer restaurant and, upstairs from it in spirit, chef Víctor García's 30-seat, two-Repsol-Sol tasting room. A few headlands over, El Olivo runs a Michelin-listed menu inside a 17th-century olive press at Belmond La Residencia in Deià, and Restaurante Sa Foradada serves wood-fired paella on the cliffs above the pierced Sa Foradada rock, reachable by a 45-minute boat trip from Port de Sóller. ## Key picks at a glance - **Best for a boat-trip splurge** — [Restaurante Sa Foradada](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-sa-foradada): You reach it by a 45-minute boat crossing from Port de Sóller for wood-fired paella on the cliffs. - **Best Michelin-starred view** — [Es Fum](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/es-fum): One Michelin Star and a dining room set above the Mediterranean coast at the St. Regis Mardavall. - **Best fortress dining room** — [La Fortaleza](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/la-fortaleza-hotel-cap-rocat): A 30-seat room inside a restored coastal fortress, holding two Repsol Soles since 2019. - **Best beach club** — [Ponderosa Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/ponderosa-beach-ponderosa-beach-club): A chiringuito 2.0 right on the sand at Playa de Muro, known for author rice dishes and paella. - **Best budget beach view** — [Patiki Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/patiki-beach-patiki-beach-bar-and-kitchen): A bamboo beach shack on Repic beach serving sharing plates from island-sourced ingredients. - **Best harbour sunset drink** — [Latitud 39](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/latitud-39-latitud39): A sea-view terrace and on-site cocktail bar built on a fishing family's 50-plus years on the water. ## A guide to Restaurants with a View in Mallorca ### The scene Port de Sóller and Port d'Andratx each carry their own cluster: Suculenta, Villa Luisa, Patiki Beach and Es Canyis line the Sóller side with terraces, a rooftop and a beach bar over the horseshoe bay, while La Universal and Latitud 39 face the Andratx harbour, one leaning on shareable Mediterranean plates, the other on a local fishing family's catch. Palma's own waterfront adds Mar de Nudos and Periplo Portixol on the old marina and in El Molinar, plus Sa Roqueta tucked into the Portixol fishing harbour and Urbà up on a Grup Santi Taura rooftop in the old town. Further round the island, Es Fum holds Mallorca's only Michelin Star on this list at the St. Regis Mardavall in Costa d'en Blanes, Can Simoneta Gastronòmic serves a 'Mexiterranean' tasting menu on the Canyamel clifftops, and Ponderosa Beach and Miceli round things out with, respectively, a beach on Playa de Muro and a Tramuntana village view over the island's central plains. ### How do you get to Restaurante Sa Foradada near Deià? Most people arrive by boat from Port de Sóller, about 45 minutes by sea, then climb rustic stairs from a small pier. You can also walk in from the Son Marroig estate, roughly an hour on foot. Reservations are required either way. ### Which Mallorca restaurants with a view hold Michelin recognition? Several are listed in the Michelin Guide: La Fortaleza and El Olivo (at Cap Rocat and Belmond La Residencia), Periplo Portixol, and Can Simoneta Gastronòmic. Es Fum holds a full Michelin Star, and Miceli holds a Bib Gourmand. ### What is Es Fum's setting? Es Fum is the one-Michelin-Star restaurant inside the St. Regis Mardavall resort at Costa d'en Blanes, west of Palma, with the dining room set above the Mediterranean coast. Chef Miguel Navarro has led the kitchen since 2017. ### Do these view restaurants require reservations? Yes, nearly all of them. Fine-dining rooms like La Fortaleza (30 seats) and Es Fum take dinner-only bookings well in advance, and even casual spots like Ponderosa Beach and Patiki Beach get busy in summer. > "The best table on this list might be the one you can only reach by boat." ## How we built this list We built this list the slow way, and a view list needs a lens beyond just the accolades, since the site itself does a lot of the work here. The bar was a genuine view worth the trip, from a converted military fortress to a cliffside spot most people reach by boat, not just a table that happens to face the water. We weighed the signals we use everywhere: Michelin and Repsol recognition where it exists, Guidavera's own rankings, and independent citations from outlets like Engel & Völkers and Estilo Palma, rather than ranking from a desk. A few of these places, like Sa Foradada, only work if you plan the trip properly, it's a boat ride or an hour's walk in, and reservations are required either way. Several others enforce dress codes or minimum ages, and hours shift seasonally at more than one, so confirm details directly before you book. ## The 22 best Restaurants with a View, compared | # | Restaurant | Neighbourhood | Price | Distinction | Signature dish | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Sea Club](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/sea-club-hotel-cap-rocat) | Cala Blava | €€€ | — | — | | 2 | [La Fortaleza](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/la-fortaleza-hotel-cap-rocat) | Cala Blava | €€€€ | Michelin Selected · Repsol 2 Soles | — | | 3 | [El Olivo](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/el-olivo) | Deià | €€€€ | Michelin Selected · Repsol 2 Soles | Romance Sonámbulo | | 4 | [Restaurante Sa Foradada](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-sa-foradada) | Deià | €€€€ | — | — | | 5 | [Suculenta Port de Sóller](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/suculenta-port-de-soller) | Port de Sóller | €€€ | — | Ensalada César con pollo al Josper | | 6 | [Villa Luisa Sóller](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/villa-luisa-soller) | Port de Sóller | €€ | — | Bread, alioli and olives | | 7 | [Patiki Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/patiki-beach-patiki-beach-bar-and-kitchen) | Port de Sóller | € | — | Black mallorcan olives / Olivas negras mallorquinas | | 8 | [Restaurant Es Canyis](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurant-es-canyis) | Port de Sóller | €€ | — | — | | 9 | [Maristel Bistro & Bar](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/maristel-bistro-and-bar-maristel-hotel-and-spa) | Estellencs | €€ | — | — | | 10 | [Urbà](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/urba) | Palma | €€€ | — | Laurent-Perrier Champagne | | 11 | [Mar de Nudos](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/mar-de-nudos) | Palma | €€€ | — | — | | 12 | [Restaurante Sa Roqueta](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-sa-roqueta) | Portixol | €€€ | — | Chipirones | | 13 | [Periplo Portixol](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/periplo-portixol) | Portixol | €€€ | Michelin Selected | Ostra Nº2 al natural (u.) | | 14 | [Maria 5 Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/maria-5-beach) | Es Camp de Mar | €€€ | — | Edamame | | 15 | [La Universal](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/la-universal) | Port d'Andratx | €€€ | — | Iberian Bellota Ham - Toasted cristal bread, grated tomato and extra virgin olive oil | | 16 | [Latitud 39](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/latitud-39-latitud39) | Port d'Andratx | €€€ | — | — | | 17 | [Restaurante La Gran Tortuga](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-la-gran-tortuga) | Peguera | €€€ | Repsol Recomendado | — | | 18 | [U Mayol](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/u-mayol) | Cala Sant Vicenç | €€ | — | Glass bread dressed with tomato, extra virgin olive oil and salt flakes | | 19 | [Can Simoneta Gastronòmic](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/can-simoneta-gastronomic) | Canyamel | €€€€ | Michelin Selected · Repsol 1 Sol | — | | 20 | [Es Fum](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/es-fum) | Costa d'en Blanes | €€€€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 1 Sol | — | | 21 | [Ponderosa Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/ponderosa-beach-ponderosa-beach-club) | Platja de Muro | €€€ | — | — | | 22 | [Miceli](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/miceli) | Selva | €€€ | Michelin Bib Gourmand · Repsol Recomendado | Aperitivos | ## The 22 best Restaurants with a View in Mallorca ### 1. Sea Club *The casual, summer-only half of a fortress hotel, not the fine-dining one next door.* - **Neighbourhood:** Cala Blava - **Address:** Caló de la Reina, Hotel Cap Rocat, Ctra. d'Enderrocat, 07609 Cala Blava, Llucmajor, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Website:** https://caprocat.com/en/sea-club - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/sea-club-hotel-cap-rocat Sea Club is the relaxed, summer-only half of Hotel Cap Rocat, the converted military fortress on its own headland at Cala Blava, right on the water at Caló de la Reina. The kitchen keeps things simple for the setting: grilled and wood-oven meat and fish plus rice dishes built on seasonal Mallorcan produce, paired with white wine in what the hotel pitches as an informal summer get-together by the sea. It's effectively adults-only, guests under 15 aren't accepted, and smart-casual dress applies after 7pm. It operates seasonally, opening for the current season from early April, so confirm dates on caprocat.com before planning a trip out to this quieter stretch of the Bay of Palma. ### 2. La Fortaleza *Cap Rocat's fine-dining room, ranked #4 of 338 Mallorca restaurants by Guidavera.* - **Neighbourhood:** Cala Blava - **Address:** Ctra. d'Enderrocat, s/n, 07609 Cala Blava, Llucmajor, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected · Repsol 2 Soles - **Website:** https://www.caprocat.com - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/la-fortaleza-hotel-cap-rocat La Fortaleza sits inside the same restored fortress as Sea Club, in a 30-hectare reserve with around 2km of protected coastline, but it's the other end of the experience: a 30-seat dining room, dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday. Chef Víctor García runs two tasting menus, Un paseo por Mallorca, built on the island's traditional recipes like stuffed squid and variat, and El Producto, a more seasonal, ingredient-led register, and the restaurant holds two Repsol Soles since 2019 plus a Michelin Guide listing. In spring and autumn, service happens at two-person tables in a former troops' mess hall; in summer it moves to a rooftop pavilion over the Mediterranean. Smart-casual dress is requested after 7pm, phones stay off the table, and children under 15 aren't accommodated. ### 3. El Olivo *A tasting menu served inside a 17th-century olive press above Deià.* - **Neighbourhood:** Deià - **Address:** Belmond La Residencia, Son Canals s/n, 07179 Deià, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected · Repsol 2 Soles - **Website:** https://www.belmond.com/hotels/europe/mallorca/deia/belmond-la-residencia/dining - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/el-olivo El Olivo is one of three places to eat at Belmond La Residencia, but the setting sets it apart: the dining room sits inside a 17th-century oil mill that still keeps its original Mallorcan tafona, the old olive press, with candlelight doing most of the atmospheric work most nights. In summer, weather permitting, service shifts out to a terrace looking over Deià and the Tramuntana mountains. Chef Pablo Aranda, from Granada, cooks what the Michelin Guide calls 'return-to-roots cuisine,' Mediterranean at its base with Arabic influences and nods to Federico García Lorca, across a tasting menu called El Viaje del Duende, with courses like Albayzín and a Mallorcan lamb Michelin singles out for its black olive crust and toasted sheep's milk. A vegetarian version is available on request. Non-hotel-guest bookings open 30 days ahead through Belmond's site. **Order:** - Romance Sonámbulo - Albayzín - Caballo de Espuma, Sea as Land ### 4. Restaurante Sa Foradada *You mostly get there by boat, and that's the whole point.* - **Neighbourhood:** Deià - **Address:** Diseminado Sa Foradada, 2, 07179 Deià, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Website:** https://restaurantesaforadada.com - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-sa-foradada Sa Foradada sits high on the cliffs of the north coast, facing the pierced rock of the Sa Foradada peninsula, at the foot of the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana near Deià. Getting there is most of the story: most people arrive by boat from Port de Sóller, around 45 minutes by sea, then climb rustic stairs up from a small pier, or walk in from the Son Marroig estate, roughly an hour on foot. Wood-fired paella is the signature dish, alongside local fish, seafood, salads and desserts. Hours aren't published on the restaurant's own site, and reservations are required either way, so call in the morning to book before making the trip out. ### 5. Suculenta Port de Sóller *A rooftop, a terrace and a beach bar under one Marina Tramontana address.* - **Neighbourhood:** Port de Sóller - **Address:** Marina Tramontana, Carrer de la Marina, 62, 07108 Port de Sóller, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Website:** https://suculentaportdesoller.com/en - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/suculenta-port-de-soller Suculenta sits in Marina Tramontana at Port de Sóller, the harbour in front and the Serra de Tramuntana rising behind, and the view comes at you from three different angles here: the main terrace at water level, a separate rooftop called Rooftop Suculenta, and a beachside bar, Bar La Base, with its own food truck. Chef Javier Bermudo's kitchen works Mediterranean sea-and-garden cooking, wild fish, oysters, caviar and grilled premium meats, cooked over a Josper charcoal grill fired with orange wood, with rice made exclusively from Albufera de Valencia rice. Hours shift with the season, closed Tuesdays in May and open daily June through September, so check before you plan a trip around the rooftop specifically. **Order:** - Ensalada César con pollo al Josper - Ensalada de fruta de temporada con burrata fresca, miel de algarroba y almendras de Mallorca - Jamón ibérico de bellota con pan cristal y tomate de "ramallet" ### 6.

The kitchen leans Mediterranean with a seafood focus, plus grilled meats and rice, offered both à la carte, from a Cantabrian anchovy gilda to an amberjack tiradito, and as tasting menus alongside a dedicated wine list. It's open daily from late morning into the evening, and books through CoverManager, by phone or by email. **Order:** - Bread, alioli and olives - Cantabrian anchovy Gilda - Ibérico pork croquette ### 7. Patiki Beach *A bamboo-roofed beach shack with a seasonal, island-sourced menu.* - **Neighbourhood:** Port de Sóller - **Address:** Camí del Far, 2, 07108 Port de Sóller, Sóller, Spain - **Price:** € - **Website:** https://www.patikibeach.com - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/patiki-beach-patiki-beach-bar-and-kitchen Patiki Beach puts you right on Repic beach at Port de Sóller, under a bamboo roof with the Tramuntana mountains behind and the sea directly in front, on Camí del Far. The owners call it an extension of home, a beach shack for everyone, and the kitchen describes its food as a textural, colourful celebration of raw ingredients consciously sourced on the island, leaning toward fish, salads and vegetables that change with the season, served as sharing plates alongside cocktails and a house sangría. It's open daily from midday to 11pm; book ahead at patikibeach.myrestoo.net in season. **Order:** - Black mallorcan olives / Olivas negras mallorquinas - Salted and roasted almonds / Almendras tostadas y saladas - Toasted sourdough bread, garlic and thyme / Tostada de pan de masa madre, ajo y tomillo ### 8.

The kitchen cooks traditional Mallorcan and seafood dishes with French touches, what it calls a gastronomic proposal on the beach, from oysters and octopus carpaccio to a seafood zarzuela and a Sóller lobster stew, with homemade desserts prepared in view of guests. There's also a set morning tasting menu, Menú Naranja, built around orange. It runs Wednesday to Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday. ### 9. Maristel Bistro & Bar *A hotel dining room in a Tramuntana cliffside village, with dietary options built in.* - **Neighbourhood:** Estellencs - **Address:** Carrer Eusebio Pascual, 9, 07192 Estellencs, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Website:** https://www.maristelhotel.com/en/gastronomy - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/maristel-bistro-and-bar-maristel-hotel-and-spa Maristel Bistro & Bar is the restaurant of the Maristel Hotel & Spa in Estellencs, a cliffside village in the Serra de Tramuntana on Mallorca's west coast, with a sea-view terrace as the whole setting. Chef José Luis Adán pairs Mediterranean tradition with contemporary technique across a five-course tasting menu and an à la carte, running from Xeixa wheat grissini and a black pig pâté with Mallorcan herbal liqueur to a burrata salad with orange and candied pine nuts. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free options are all available on request. Bookings go through the hotel by phone or email; confirm current hours directly since they aren't published. ### 10. Urbà *A Santi Taura group rooftop built for sharing, not fine dining.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Plaça de Llorenç Villalonga, 4, 07001 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Website:** https://www.grupsantitaura.com/en/urba - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/urba Urbà is the rooftop restaurant at Hotel El Llorenç Parc de la Mar in Palma's old town, run by Grup Santi Taura and billed as the group's most open concept, built for easy sharing rather than a set tasting format. The signature Go W!TH THE FLoW menu, minimum two people at €69 a head, runs from Laurent-Perrier Champagne to Amur Beluga caviar on fried mantou and an oyster with beurre blanc and more caviar, while the à la carte adds a red prawn tartare and a spinach and green curry. It mixes walk-in daytime hours with separate booked lunch and dinner seatings, so check the schedule and book by phone or email. **Order:** - Laurent-Perrier Champagne - Amur Beluga caviar served on fried mantou with crème fraîche - Oyster with beurre blanc and Amur Beluga caviar ### 11.

It runs a long day, roughly 1pm to 1am, covering lunch through a late dinner, with a cocktail programme running alongside the food. Book online via the website. ### 12.

The kitchen cooks in the Mallorcan style, paella, fideuà and grilled fish, alongside premium seafood sold by weight and dry-aged beef for anyone who wants meat instead. It's a compact, popular room, so booking ahead matters in summer, best done by phone. It runs Tuesday to Saturday for both lunch and dinner, closed Monday and Sunday, and the harbour setting, boats moored right outside, is really the whole draw. **Order:** - Chipirones - Ancas de rana - Angula del Miño ### 13.

The kitchen's pitch is right there in its tagline, select produce, fire and sea: fish bought at the market and cooked mainly over an open fire, treated with simplicity rather than elaborate plating. Much of the à la carte is built for two, from an oyster with pomegranate juice and shallot vinegar to a wagyu cecina and a sea bass ceviche with mango air. It's open daily for lunch and dinner, with the terrace opening straight onto the Bay of Palma. **Order:** - Ostra Nº2 al natural (u.) - Ostra amb suc de granada, vinagre i xalota (u.) - Vieira marinada amb salsa ponzu i ous de salmó (u.) ### 14.

The menu leans on local, seasonal produce in plates meant for sharing, or not, as the carta puts it, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, an esqueixada, a marinated scallop and squid salad, grilled octopus, Black Tiger prawns, sea bass and corvina off the plancha, a slow-cooked veal shank and a Tomahawk steak for the table.

It's a modern take on Mallorcan cooking, with a sea-view terrace over the harbour and an on-site cocktail bar for after.

The name comes from an old anecdote: fishermen from the Peguera port are said to have surprised the architect Pedro Otzoup with a turtle, and the restaurant took its name from it. Chef Javier Soriano now runs the kitchen, and the Repsol Guide, which lists the restaurant as Recomendado, credits him with reviving the menu around fresh, island-caught fish. There's a live lobster tank in the dining room, a five-course tasting menu at €60 a head for full tables, and the terrace runs its own separate menu.

The name comes from mycelium, the root network a fungus uses to draw nutrients from the soil, which fits the kitchen's whole idea: there's no printed menu, Coll shops the Inca market each morning and builds the day's cooking around whatever's good, on a base of traditional Mallorcan stews and produce from the huerta. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a Repsol Recomendado listing. Coll has since expanded the idea to Arrels by Marga Coll in Illetes and La Barra de Miceli inside the Inca market. **Order:** - Aperitivos - Primeros platos - Segundos platos ## The Restaurants with a View scene in Mallorca Mallorca's coastline does a lot of the work for the restaurants on this list, and the settings range widely. At Cap Rocat, a converted military fortress splits into two experiences: the casual Sea Club and, inside the same walls, chef Víctor García's 30-seat, two-Repsol-Sol tasting room, La Fortaleza. A few headlands over, El Olivo runs a Michelin-listed menu inside a 17th-century olive press at Belmond La Residencia in Deià, and Restaurante Sa Foradada serves wood-fired paella on the cliffs above the pierced Sa Foradada rock, reachable mostly by a 45-minute boat trip from Port de Sóller. Port de Sóller and Port d'Andratx each carry their own cluster of terraces, rooftops and harbour-front tables, and Palma's own waterfront adds the old marina, El Molinar and the Portixol fishing harbour to the mix. Further round the island, Es Fum holds the list's only Michelin star at the St. Regis Mardavall, Can Simoneta Gastronòmic serves its 'Mexiterranean' tasting menu on the Canyamel clifftops, and Ponderosa Beach and Miceli close things out with a beach on Playa de Muro and a Tramuntana village view over the island's central plains. What ties it together is that the view is never incidental here: it's built into the setting each restaurant chose. ## Know before you go ### 1. Hotel-restaurant view spots like Cap Rocat's Sea Club and La Fortaleza, and Es Fum at the St. Regis Mardavall, enforce dress codes and, in some cases, minimum ages, check before you book. ### 2. Sa Foradada is best reached by boat from Port de Sóller (about 45 minutes) or on foot from the Son Marroig estate (about an hour), reservations are required regardless, so call ahead. ### 3. Fine-dining rooms with the best views often have very few tables: La Fortaleza at Cap Rocat seats just 30 and serves dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday. ### 4. Hours shift seasonally at several of these places, including Suculenta, La Universal and Restaurante La Gran Tortuga, confirm current times directly before you go. ### 5. Beachfront restaurants like Ponderosa Beach and Patiki Beach are among the busiest on their coasts in summer and are worth booking ahead for. ### 6. A few of the harbour and clifftop spots (Mar de Nudos, Can Simoneta Gastronòmic) have been independently cited for their views by outlets like Engel & Völkers and Estilo Palma, alongside their own Guidavera rankings. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you get to Restaurante Sa Foradada near Deià? Most people arrive by boat from Port de Sóller, about 45 minutes by sea, then climb rustic stairs from a small pier. You can also walk in from the Son Marroig estate, roughly an hour on foot. Reservations are required either way. ### Which Mallorca restaurants with a view hold Michelin recognition? Several are listed in the Michelin Guide: La Fortaleza and El Olivo (at Cap Rocat and Belmond La Residencia), Periplo Portixol, and Can Simoneta Gastronòmic.
