Where can I find a lesser-known seafood restaurant with a beautiful sea view on the island?

For a truly memorable seafood meal with a view, head to the fishing village of Cala Figuera in the south. This tucked-away harbour isn’t swamped with tourists, offering a tranquil backdrop where you can dine beside the shimmering Mediterranean. Restaurants here look out over a working port filled with traditional boats, and the slow rhythm of village life adds to the charm as the sun lowers behind the Serra de Llevant hills.

Local spots serve freshly caught fish and shellfish, often prepared in simple, traditional ways—think grilled prawns or suquet de peix, a comforting Catalan fish stew. Pair your meal with a glass of Binissalem wine or a digestif like Hierbas to finish. If you venture along the coast towards Santanyí, you’ll find small coves where such places are even quieter and views stretch over bays fringed with pine trees. The Ma-19 road makes it easy to explore these southern coastal gems. It’s the kind of dining experience that feels like a secret shared only among locals and those willing to stray from the main tourist hubs.
