The Insider’s Guide to What’s Happening in Mallorca NEW DEBUTS: THIS SEASON’S MUST SEES

PALMA OLD TOWN

COSTA D’EN BLANES

TERRENO, PALMA

Aethos Club Palma

Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra

Terreno Barrio

Newly debuted in a restored palacio, Aethos Club Palma is a fresh take on the private members’ club. It blends highend co-working with cultural programming like its signature “Listening Sessions.” With its curated vinyl lounge and farmto-table dining, the club has quickly become the definitive sanctuary for the city’s creative community in the heart of the historic center.

Officially opening for stays on July 1st, 2026, the Mandarin Oriental makes its highly anticipated Balearic debut on the Punta Negra peninsula. This sanctuary of Mediterranean luxury features 131 rooms and exclusive access to two secluded coves. With six distinct dining concepts and a world-class wellness sanctuary, it is set to become the island’s most prestigious summer retreat.

Less a hotel and more a neighbourhood institution that happens to have rooms. Brought to life by Palma architects Ohlab inside a listed 1935 building, Terreno Barrio sits at the heart of a district that has been quietly having its moment.

The restaurant Destape sets the tone by day, while the inviteonly nightclub Dos Rombos takes over at night.

GASTRONOMY

ROOTED IN MALLORCA A guide to the five visionary chefs and estates awarded Michelin Green Stars for their commitment to Mallorcan heritage and environmental stewardship.

CA NA TONETA | Caimari The Solivellas sisters lead the island’s “Slow Food” movement with a menu dictated entirely by the seasons. By maintaining their own organic garden and sourcing exclusively “Zero-Mile” ingredients, they ensure every plate reflects the true identity of the Tramuntana foothills.

Béns D’Avall

ANDREU GENESTRA | Llucmajor Located in the historic Sa Torre estate, Chef Andreu Genestra manages 6,000 square meters of land. From growing ancient xeixa wheat to pressing their own olive oil, the restaurant operates as a near-perfect, self-sustaining Mediterranean ecosystem.

2026

Andreu Genestra

BÉNS D’AVALL | Sóller This cliffside legend is headed by father-son duo Benet and Jaume Vicens. As “farmer-restaurateurs,” they source from two private orchards and their own poultry farm, even using oil pressed from centuries-old trees on the property.

Terrrae

MACA DE CASTRO | Port d’Alcúdia Macarena de Castro treats her kitchen as a laboratory of Mallorcan heritage. Her “Free Mallorcan Cooking” philosophy relies on a tightknit network of local producers and four dedicated orchards that provide fresh botanical produce daily.

TERRAE | Port de Pollença

Ca Na Toneta

Chef David Rivas runs a raw, authentic kitchen with a strict Zero-Waste policy. The menu changes daily based on the island’s local bounty, and the restaurant works closely with Arrels Marines to support local marine conservation.

2026 Mallorca Championships

GEM Summer Slam

The island’s only ATP grass-court tournament. This year’s edition features a revamped VIP hospitality area and appearances by stars like Nick Kyrgios and Frances Tiafoe.

A standout fixture in the summer golf calendar, the GEM Summer Slam attracts a competitive field of international and local players to Mallorca’s premier coastal course. Part of a larger tournament series, this July edition is a test of precision and endurance under the Mediterranean sun.

Mallorca Country Club (Santa Ponça) Famous for its Wimbledon partnership, the MCC is the only venue in Europe offering all three Grand Slam surfaces.

Beyond the grass courts, the club’s rooftop gym and poolside lounge remain the premier networking hub for the southwest’s international community.

An elite sailing anchor where international crews compete for one of the Mediterranean’s most coveted trophies under the gaze of the Spanish Royal Family.

T-Golf: Calvià & Palma Puntiró The “T-Club” brand focuses on “the soul of the game.” T-Golf Calvià reflects its 1970s heritage, while Palma Puntiró emphasizes the island’s natural topography. Both clubhouses feel more like boutique hotel lounges than traditional sporting bars.

Marina Moll Vell, Port de Palma, Mallorca

Real Club Náutico de Palma The heart of Mediterranean yachting on Palma’s lively promenade. As host to the island’s most glittering regattas, it represents the intersection of elite sport and Balearic high society. The historic terrace offers the most prestigious vantage point for the fleet.

Marina Moll Vell, Port de Palma, Mallorca

THE CLUB COLLECTION Bendinat Urban Country Club Set in a premier residential enclave, this is the island’s go-to for the 'Padel & Social' set. Featuring state-of-the-art courts and a high-performance academy, the sophisticated bistro and heated pool make it a favorite year-round retreat.

Palma Sport & Tennis Club A boutique oasis in the bustling Santa Catalina neighborhood. Combining premium tennis and padel facilities with a luxury gym, yoga studio, and a refined social bistro, it is the go-to athletic destination for those who value both wellness and a cosmopolitan lifestyle.

Arabella Golf & Lifestyle Arabella remains the gold standard, unifying three legendary courses—Son Vida, Son Muntaner, and Son Quint. The sophisticated clubhouses and wellness facilities serve as the primary social center for the prestigious estates of Son Vida.

REGIONAL SPOTLIGHT

MALLORCA’S SOUTHWEST

EXCLUSIVE

Harbour towns, hilltop villas, and the southwest’s enduring appeal.

T

he Southwest has long been Mallorca’s most coveted address. There’s something about the way the buzz of the coastal marinas gives way to the hush of the pine-covered hills that feels almost cinematic. From lively waterfront hotspots to secluded hilltop retreats, this corner of the island has a way of offering exactly what you’re looking for.

Santa Ponsa & Camp de Mar Santa Ponsa draws families with wide sandy beaches, good international schools, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes settling in feel easy. Camp de Mar is for those who want something more private, defined by turquoise water, clifftop villas, and a sense of seclusion that’s increasingly rare on the island.

A Balanced Lifestyle The coastline is a playground for water sports, with sheltered bays perfect for paddleboarding, sailing, and coastal exploration. On land, scenic trails and a handful of exclusive clubs serve as the community’s social and wellness hubs. It’s an active life, but never a frantic one.

Puerto Portals

CONTEMPORARY SEA VIEW VILLA COSTA D’EN BLANES, CALVIÀ Sitting high above the Costa d’en Blanes coastline, Casa Verde is a modern Mediterranean retreat designed around two things: natural light and the sea. Spread across three levels, the home opens up generously at every turn, with bright openplan living spaces flowing out to wide terraces and a pool that faces the water.

Upstairs is given over entirely to rest, with four large en-suite bedrooms and a master suite that feels like a destination in itself, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and wide-angle views of the coastline below. Downstairs the mood shifts — a private gym, wine bodega, cinema room, and double garage make it clear this is a home built as much for living as it is for looking at. Sophisticated, unhurried, and designed for island life done properly.

Port Andratx: The Jewel of the West If you’ve ever pictured the ideal Mediterranean harbour, Port Andratx is probably close to what you imagined. A former fishing village turned luxury hotspot, it’s where mountains tumble into the sea and villas cling dramatically to the cliffs of Monport and Cala Llamp Puerto Portals & Beninat Puerto Portals is the heartbeat of the Southwest, where yacht owners shop, lunch, and linger over long afternoons. Just next door, Beninat offers something quieter: homes nestled between golf fairways and rocky outcrops, appealing to those who want proximity to the action without being in the middle of it.

Well Connected Palma is twenty minutes away, close enough for a morning meeting, an evening out, or a flight from Son Sant Joan. Yet return to the hills above Andratx or the coves around Camp de Mar and the city feels very far away indeed.

The Real Estate From cutting-edge villas in Beninat to restored fincas in the hills above Andratx, the market here is united by a shared premium on views and privacy.

Strict planning regulations have kept overdevelopment in check, meaning the landscape and its exclusivity are largely protected. Supply stays limited, demand stays strong, making the Southwest one of the most compelling corners of the Mallorcan property market.

A Gastronomic Hub Ritzi in Puerto Portals remains the benchmark for Italian fine dining with a front-row view of the superyachts, while Sumailla in Port d’Andratx offers Japanese-Peruvian cuisine in a setting as calm as the harbour itself. Traditional seafront eateries keep the region rooted in something genuine.

Donna Portals PORTALS NOUS

From superyacht regattas to untouched island escapes — a look into nautical life this summer.

Club de Mar

Sa Dragonera

Day trip by Boat

Few places on Palma’s waterfront carry quite the history that Club de Mar does. Founded in 1972 with the ambition of drawing grandes yachts from the French Riviera to the Bay of Palma, it quickly became the social and nautical heartbeat of the city — discreet, established, and unmistakably itself.

What’s emerged from four years and €83 million of construction is something altogether more open. The new complex — four interconnected buildings named after the island’s cardinal winds — has physically dissolved the barrier between the marina and the Paseo Marítimo. Where there was once a wall, there is now a broad walkway drawing the city directly into the club. A commercial area with shops and nautical services is opening in phases between April and June, with the full offering expected to be complete by summer.

Four restaurants of different styles anchor the food and drink offering, including a new gastronomic space that moves into a nighttime atmosphere as the evening progresses. A wellness area with gym and spa sits alongside dedicated spaces for the club’s sports programme — sailing school, regattas, year-round nautical education for children and adults.

The Yacht Club, with its classic design and views across the bay, remains the quiet centre of everything.

REGATTA SUMMER CALENDAR JUNE

Superyacht Cup Palma

20-21 Europe’s oldest and most prestigious

superyacht regatta — 29th edition. Club de Mar is the official venue partner, with the Regatta Village hosted at the new marina.

20–30 superyachts compete across four days, with the Bay of Palma and Palma Cathedral as backdrop.

An uninhabited island nature reserve just off the southwest coast, reachable by ferry from Sant Elm in 15 minutes. No cars, no hotels — just dramatic cliffs, walking trails, three lighthouses and lizards that will literally crawl up to you at the dock. The western cliffs rise over 350 metres above the sea and the Eleonora’s falcon — one of Europe’s rarest raptors — nests here from May to October. One of those places that still genuinely feels untouched, and easy to do as a half day from Palma.

Two ways to get there: the public ferry from Sant Elm pier runs seasonally and gets you 2.5 hours on the island. For something more complete, Sa Calma Boats runs guided trips with snorkelling, lunch and wildlife commentary on a certified eco-boat. You can also depart from Port Andratx if that’s more convenient. click-mallorca.com — public ferry sacalmaboats.com — full guided experience

The Jazz Lounge / / L A L O N J A , P A L M A One of Palma's oldest live music venues, tucked into the stone streets of La Lonja. Saxophonist Florencio Cruz has been curating nightly sets here for years — jazz, soul, funk, blues — in a room small enough that you're never far from the stage. Good cocktails, great atmosphere, and the kind of place that's genuinely hard to find. Book ahead, it fills up.

COSTA D’EN BLANES

SUMMER’S MUST-READS Happy Place Emily Henry Harriet and Wyn were the perfect couple, but they broke up six months ago for reasons they haven’t shared with their closest friends. When the group gathers for their annual week at a Maine cottage, the pair decides to fake their relationship for seven days to avoid ruining the last trip before the house is sold.

What We Are Seeking Cameron Reed This is a contemporary exploration of modern ambition and the search for purpose. Reed weaves together various narratives of individuals at crossroads—from corporate highflyers to those living off the grid—to examine why the achievement of “the dream” often leaves people feeling more hollow than before they started.

The Names Florence Knapp Spanning several generations, this novel investigates how family secrets and inheritances shape our identity. When a box of old documents is discovered in a family home, it reveals a hidden history that challenges everything the protagonist believed about her lineage and the origins of her own name.

The 2024 renovation has left it genuinely turnkey, with bright south-facing interiors throughout.

Three spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms are finished with elegant tile and wooden flooring, anchored by a master suite that feels calm and considered. Underfloor heating and air conditioning mean the home works just as well in January as it does in July. Outside, the terraces, balcony, and private saltwater pool invite you to slow down and stay a while. A garage for three vehicles rounds it off neatly.
