The privileged Palma location of Son Vida – with its luxurious, architect-designed villas, and three championship golf courses (Son Vida, Son Muntaner, and Son Quint) – is also home to the majestic Castillo Hotel Son Vida. I have a particular fondness for this 5-star hotel set on a 13th-century estate high above Mallorca’s capital, although the reason for this is slightly embarrassing. When I was (much, much) younger, I had my first holiday in Mallorca […]

How do you find restaurants in Mallorca that you may like to try? Local media reviews, socials, or printed guides? When I’m researching places to review for my Restaurant of the Week feature on Mallorca Sunshine Radio, I tend to use social media as a starting point, but do enjoy browsing through the pages of a published guide just for pleasure. My current must-browse is the 6th edition of the Transfer Class Guide by Chefs(in). […]

With seasonal restaurants and hotels beginning to open for 2026, it’s time for me to start posting again on this blog. I do maintain the eatdrinksleepmallorca Instagram and Facebook pages through the winter, but take a break from posting here, which gives me more time to concentrate on my novel-writing* and restaurant reviews for Mallorca Sunshine Radio. Eat Out with Mallorca Restaurant Week First, Mallorca Restaurant Week lasts for five weeks and not only one. […]

We’ve eaten a few times at this restaurant in the centre of Petra but, until last week, hadn’t done so since 2019 (pre-Covid). This small town in Mallorca is best known as the birthplace of Fra Juniper Serra, who left Mallorca to set up missions on the west coast of America. He also took some Mallorcan vines with him, thereby planting the seed – so to speak – of California’s famed wine industry. Petra is […]

La Reserva Rotana Golf & Wine Resort is a beautiful, rural hotel near Manacor, with a private nine-hole golf course and a helicopter pad. The hotel sits in 200 hectares of land, including the golf course, vineyards, and vegetable garden. We haven’t stayed in this 5-star hotel for the simple reason that it’s too close to home to justify the expense of paying for an overnight stay. For several reasons, though, we have become fans […]

Javier Hoebeeck – who’s the chef behind the culinary creations at the Playa de Muro restaurants Fusion 19 and Gaikan – is the owner of the eatery Übeck in Manacor. Fusion 19 is on my list of restaurants in Mallorca I’d like to try, but the 80€ per head price tag for what does look like a fabulous tasting menu means we’ll have to save our visit for a special occasion. Javier’s Übeck restaurant in […]
