Introduction
The Mallorca Rooftop Restaurants in Palma List We Send to Friends
Palma's rooftop scene splits into two camps: hotel restaurants perched high enough to catch the cathedral, and terraces further up the coast that trade the old town for open water. Urbà, on the roof of Hotel El Llorenç Parc de la Mar in the old town, comes from Grup Santi Taura, the group led by chef Santi Taura, with a menu built for sharing. Cuit by Miquel Calent runs eight floors up at the Nakar Hotel on Avinguda Jaume III, with its own rooftop bar next door. Suculenta Port de Sóller, the outlier on this list, sits in Marina Tramontana at Port de Sóller, not in Palma at all, with its own rooftop and a view of the Serra de Tramuntana.

A Guide to Rooftop Restaurants in Palma in Mallorca
The scene
None of the three serve the same thing. Urbà works shared plates across an international-meets-local menu. Cuit leans into a tasting-menu format from Miquel Calent's kitchen, alongside breakfast, snacks and a Sunday brunch that pauses in July and August. Suculenta keeps things Mediterranean and produce-led, with a rooftop, a terrace and a separate beachside bar called Bar La Base. All three take direct bookings, by phone, email or through TheFork, and all three publish hours that move with the season, so it's worth checking before you go.
Where is Urbà's rooftop in Palma?
Urbà is on the roof of Hotel El Llorenç Parc de la Mar, Plaça de Llorenç Villalonga 4, in Palma's old town. It's run by Grup Santi Taura, the group led by chef Santi Taura.
Which floor is Cuit by Miquel Calent on, and what's the view?
Cuit is on the eighth floor of the Nakar Hotel on Avinguda Jaume III in Palma, with views over the cathedral, Bellver Castle and Palma Bay. Chef Miquel Calent runs the kitchen.
Is Suculenta's rooftop actually in Palma?
No. Suculenta's rooftop is in Marina Tramontana at Port de Sóller, on Mallorca's northwest coast, not in Palma.
Does Cuit by Miquel Calent have a rooftop bar as well as a restaurant?
Yes. There's a separate rooftop bar next to Cuit's dining room, with cocktails and a resident DJ, alongside Miquel Calent's tasting-menu kitchen.
How We Built This List
Years of Eating, Asking, and Going Back
We built this list the slow way, and with only three real rooftop kitchens worth naming near Palma, the bar was more about being distinct than being numerous: no two of these serve the same thing. We weighed what each place is actually known for, Urbà's shared-plates format from Grup Santi Taura, Cuit by Miquel Calent's tasting menu eight floors up at the Nakar, and Suculenta's Mediterranean cooking out at Port de Sóller, rather than defaulting to whatever sits closest to the cathedral. Suculenta isn't even in Palma, but it made the cut because the rooftop itself is worth the trip, not because of where it sits on a map. All three publish hours that move with the season and take direct bookings by phone, email or TheFork, so we've said so rather than assuming a walk-in table.

The ranking
5 Best Rooftop Restaurants in Palma in Mallorca
Urbà
1. Urbà — Old-town rooftop from the group behind chef Santi Taura, built around shared plates instead of individual courses.
Urbà sits on the roof of Hotel El Llorenç Parc de la Mar in Palma's old town, run by Grup Santi Taura, the restaurant group led by Mallorcan chef Santi Taura. The kitchen works a fusion of international and local cooking, built for sharing rather than separate courses, with views over the sea, Parc de la Mar and Palma Cathedral. Google reviewers rate it 4.5 out of 5 across 197 reviews. Booking runs through Hotel El Llorenç directly, by phone or email, and the schedule mixes walk-in daytime hours with separately booked lunch and dinner slots.
Cuit by Miquel Calent
2. Cuit by Miquel Calent — Eighth-floor dining room from Mallorcan chef Miquel Calent, with a separate rooftop bar next door and the highest Google rating on this list.
Cuit is chef Miquel Calent's restaurant on the eighth floor of the Nakar Hotel on Avinguda Jaume III, where the draw is as much the view, the cathedral, Bellver Castle and Palma Bay, as the cooking. The kitchen runs two tasting menus: a six-course version at €59 with a bluefin tuna tartare in orange marinade, Majorcan scarlet shrimps with black pork secreto and sobrasada noodles, and a cod loin with vegetable rice, and an eight-course version at €84 that adds a grilled Majorcan squid and a grilled beef entrecôte with Porreres mushrooms. There's also breakfast, snacks and a Sunday brunch that pauses in July and August. Next door, a separate rooftop bar runs cocktails and a resident DJ. It's open Monday to Saturday, closed Sundays for the restaurant itself.
Suculenta Port de Sóller
3. Suculenta Port de Sóller — Not technically in Palma. Suculenta's rooftop looks over Port de Sóller's harbour with the Serra de Tramuntana behind it.
Suculenta sits in Marina Tramontana at Port de Sóller, on Mallorca's northwest coast, not in Palma itself. Beyond the main dining room and terrace there's a dedicated rooftop, Rooftop Suculenta, plus a separate beachside bar called Bar La Base with a food truck. The kitchen works Mediterranean cooking built on local Mallorcan produce, and the view runs from the harbour to the Serra de Tramuntana behind it. Google reviewers rate it 4.4 out of 5 across 452 reviews, and the hours shift by season: closed Tuesdays in May, open daily from June through September.
Restaurante Katagi Blau
4. Restaurante Katagi Blau — A rooftop restaurant and bar atop the Iberostar Selection Llaut Palma, with vertical gardens over the Bay of Palma.
Katagi Blau is the rooftop restaurant and bar on top of the Iberostar Selection Llaut Palma, near Playa de Palma, with vertical gardens framing the view out over the Bay of Palma. The kitchen runs Asian fusion, sushi, sashimi and teppanyaki built on local Mallorcan products, from a yellowtail tiradito and a prawn and avocado ceviche to bao Shanghai and a free-range chicken and mushroom shumai. There's a weekly-changing €35 set lunch menu and a €48 Sunday rooftop brunch running from a yuzu and fruit aspic to a braised beef cheek brioche and a smoked salmon bagel. It's open Wednesday to Sunday, noon to midnight, with an elegant casual dress code, sportswear and swimwear discouraged, so book ahead for a sunset table.
L'Àtic Restaurant
5. L'Àtic Restaurant — A rooftop dining room on Hotel Saratoga's 7th floor, led by chef Juan Pinel, with views over the city, bay and cathedral.
L'Àtic sits on the seventh-floor rooftop of Hotel Saratoga on Passeig de Mallorca, looking out over the city, the bay and the illuminated cathedral at sunset. Chef Juan Pinel cooks contemporary Mediterranean food built on fresh local products, splitting the format between an executive menu at lunch and a tasting menu, called Raíces, in the evening, from an oyster dressed with tiger's milk and cilantro to an Iberian bellota ham croquette and an aubergine with tamarind and yogurt. It's open Wednesday to Saturday, lunch from 1pm to 4:30pm and dinner from 7pm to midnight, closed Monday, Tuesday and Sunday. Book ahead through TheFork or by phone, especially for a sunset table.
