Are there any beach bars or restaurants with good views near swimming spots on the island?

The best place to enjoy a meal or drink with a sea view on the island is without doubt Es Trenc, where several beach bars line the golden sand, offering refreshing cocktails and local tapas just steps from the turquoise water. At spots like Sa Platgeta, you can watch the waves lap the shore while savoring pa amb oli or a cold Hierbas. The relaxed vibe here perfectly matches the untouched surroundings.

On the north coast, Formentor’s beach restaurant provides stunning panoramas over the bay and pine-dotted hills. Dining on freshly caught seafood or sampling sobrassada dishes is made all the more special by the dramatic Tramuntana backdrop. The terrace seating is open and breezy, ideal for those who want to linger over sunset.

In smaller coves such as Cala Mondrago or Cala Llombards, simple chiringuitos serve up local treats and cold Palo or Binissalem wine. These are excellent spots to refuel between swims, with the Ma-19 or MA-13 roads providing easy access. Whether in Palma’s vibrant marina or a tucked-away beach shack, you’ll find plenty of places that pair spectacular coastal scenery with authentic local flavors.
