de moniö · Deià
de moniö
A very special little café in Deià, de moniö is a hole-in-the-wall spot that serves breakfast and lunch and has a shop where you can buy locally made ceramics, glassware, linen and more. The menu is vegetarian and organic.
La Nouvelle Famille · Palma
La Nouvelle Famille
This laid-back natural wine bar in Santanyí delivers delicious small plates and a cool vibe not found at many spots outside of Palma. Come for lunch after a beach day on the southeast coast, and plates including oysters and a "sheet of pasta cacio e pepe."
Es Racó d'Artà · Formentor
Es Racó d'Artà
Impeccably designed by local architect Antoni Esteva, this holistic wellness retreat is set on a sprawling estate of restored farmhouses and boasts two infinity pools, a vineyard, orchards, and a working farm. The design is rustic-meets-art-gallery-cool, and the vibe is markedly zen, with a spa and daily yoga, breathwork, and meditation classes. Guests are fully immersed in Mallorcan culture here, from the elegant rooms crafted with local materials to the noteworthy workshops (basket weaving, medicinal plants, and beehive keeping, to name a few).
HOTEL CORAZON (Agroturismo) · Deià
Hotel Corazón
This boutique hotel and restaurant is most certainly the coolest, most aesthetically-driven address in Mallorca, and a hot spot with the creative, 30-something crowd. The restaurant is particularly fantastic, with great drinks and a seasonally-driven menu, so even those not staying should come for a meal. With a prime location between popular hilltop towns Deià and Sóller, it's a good pick for couples who want a stylish retreat but don't need an overly pampering experience.
Ca's Patró March · Deià
Ca's Patró March
Advance reservations are required (and hard to come by) at this seaside lunch spot that was famously featured in Showtime’s The Night Manager. Overlooking the crystal blue waters of Cala Deia, this spot is mostly about the setting, but the menu of fresh seafood is also pretty good. Make sure to request a table as close to the water as possible. You can arrive by foot, car, or boat (boat is our pick!)
Cafè Riutort · Palma
Cafè Riutort
Centrally located next to La Rambla (the main street in Palma), this local haunt is widely considered one of the best cafés on the island. Thoughtfully exposed concrete, stone and wooden beams give a minimalist yet warm feel. Go for the espresso and stay for avocado tostada.
Restaurant Ca na Toneta · Deià
Restaurant Ca na Toneta
Possibly the most special restaurant in Mallorca, Ca na Toneta is set in a tiny hilltop town and run by two sisters. Dinners here begin with cocktails on the terrace (set adjacent to the boutique, which is stocked with local treasures like ceramics and blankets) and are continued on another terrace, where multi-course meals are served. The kitchen uses only the freshest ingredients in such dishes as free-range egg with potato and truffle from the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, and squid with ink and fennel aioli.
Bar La Sang · Palma
Bar La Sang
One of the best natural wine bars in Palma, this is a cool spot for hanging out and enjoying tapas like burrata toast with anchovies and lemon zest.
Fundació Miró Mallorca · Palma
Fundació Miró Mallorca
The must-visit culture destination on Mallorca is this center devoted to Spanish artist Joan Miró, which includes the studio where he lived and worked for almost 30 years.
El Camino · Palma
El Camino
