One of the best things about being on holiday (or even only a day off) is the freedom to do what you want when you want. But if that means preferring to eat a good meal at four, five, or even six o’clock (to make the most of the day’s beach/shopping/exploring time), you need to know about a great restaurant that’s open all day. Oh, and 365 days a year. May I suggest Negre in […]
Drink on a rooftop, anyone? Here are two places to do just that this summer on the east coast of Mallorca. Sky Bar, Sol i Vida in Porto Cristo When I visited this hotel in Porto Cristo in 2019, it had just opened under the name of Som Dona. I’d gone to record an interview with the general manager for my Mallorca Sunshine Radio show back then. Som Dona was newsworthy because it was the […]
One of the highlights of our 2023 summer in Mallorca was attending an intimate outdoor cinema event at Los Dos Caballeros Winery between Inca and Llubí. Such was the success of the evening, Los Dos Caballeros Winery has organised a series of movie nights this summer. Cinema Paradiso – a private cinema company in Mallorca – will be screening some popular movies amid the vineyards of this relatively young winery, which produced its first wine […]
The growth in the Mallorcan wine sector has been significant over the 20 years we’ve lived on the island. And that growth hasn’t been only in the number of wineries but also in the quality and uniqueness of the wines produced. Today, Mallorca has around 100 bodegas, with the oldest (Bodega Ribas) dating from 1711. Exciting new wineries have opened in recent years – some of them owned by foreign residents of Mallorca – and […]
The coastal village of Colònia de Sant Pere has some of the best views for eating and drinking out in Mallorca – in my opinion. From one of the several, seafront restaurants, you have views across the Bay of Alcúdia to the northern end of the Serra de Tramuntana – the UNESCO World Heritage Site mountain range. Sunset here is glorious. But there are times when I’d sacrifice the view for a visit to Can […]
Our favourite place to eat lunch with our toes buried in the sand is open for the 2024 season. Ponderosa Beach is today a very different business from that started by the current owners’ grandparents back in the ’50s to offer refreshments to people spending time on Playa de Muro’s gorgeous beach. We first discovered the contemporary Ponderosa Beach – an establishment serving surprisingly good and interesting food and drinks – back in 2014 and have […]
I’ve occasionally been asked for a restaurant recommendation in Port d’Andratx, in the southwest of Mallorca. Until recently, I wasn’t aware of any stand-out places to eat there – despite plenty of eateries. This is partly because we live north of Manacor, so I always want to be sure that any restaurant at a distance will be worth the time and the fuel cost to get there. Well, I now have a great recommendation for […]
