Where are the best places to have breakfast with a sea view on the island?

The island’s coastline offers some truly memorable breakfast experiences where the sea plays a starring role. In Port de Sóller, for instance, cafés along the harbour allow you to sip aromatic coffee or enjoy a traditional ensaimada while watching fishing boats bob gently on the water. Early mornings here are serene, with the Tramuntana mountains providing a dramatic backdrop to the tranquil bay.

Near Cala Mondragó on the southeast coast, a handful of small beachside bars serve up simple but satisfying dishes like pa amb oli and fresh fruit, perfect for a leisurely meal with your toes in the sand. On clear days, the sunlight sparkling on the Mediterranean pairs beautifully with the local Hierbas liqueur served at breakfast or brunch.

For views that stretch further, a café perched on the cliffs around Cap de Formentor offers sweeping panorama of the endless sea and rugged coastline. Here, enjoying a breakfast of tumbet or sobrassada with the sound of waves breaking below adds a sense of occasion to the start of the day. Between mountain roads like the Ma-10 and coastal villages such as Deia and Valldemossa, the combination of local flavours and stunning vistas ensures breakfast is much more than just a meal.
