- From east to west, a culinary tour along the Calvià coast, from the village of Illetes to the Port Adriano marina.
- From Mediterranean cuisine to Basque, Japanese and Latin American influences, ten ways to savour summer by the sea
For centuries, the Mediterranean has been a route, a larder and a meeting place for different cultures. The historian Fernand Braudel did not view it as a single sea, but as many overlapping seas: a geography of landscapes, peoples, exchanges and ways of life. In Calvià, this diversity is also reflected at the table, where flavours born on its shores coexist with recipes from afar and the pleasure of dining whilst keeping the sea in view.
From Illetes in the east to Port Adriano in the west, ten restaurants and beach clubs trace a gastronomic route along the Calvià coast. Ten settings where cuisine converses with the landscape and every meal, allowing you to discover a different way of experiencing the Mediterranean.
Purobeach Illetas: cuisine, scenery and wellbeing
Set against the crystal-clear waters of Illetes, Purobeach Illetas offers panoramic views of the Bay of Palma, direct access to the sea, a viewing point and a unique natural cave. Its M3 culinary concept blends Mediterranean ingredients with influences from Miami, Melbourne and Marrakech. This is complemented by healthy options, creative cocktails, music and a carefully curated wellness programme.
Las Terrazas del Bendinat: romance by the water
In a natural haven in Portals Nous, the terraces of the Hotel Bendinat’s restaurant allow you to dine practically right on the water. Relaxed and light-filled by day, it becomes elegant and intimate as night falls. Its Mediterranean menu, prepared with fresh, locally sourced produce, features tapas, rice dishes, fish and meat inspired by traditional Mallorcan techniques.
UM Beach House Portals: slow living by the sea
Very close to Puerto Portals, UM Beach House Portals invites you to enjoy slow living in its sea-facing dining area, by the pool and to the beat of its characteristic Afro rhythms. The menu features fish, seafood, meat and rice dishes, accompanied by a wide selection of wines and cocktails.
Mar Sea Club: Mediterranean cuisine with a Latin American twist
Set amongst the gardens of The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort on the Costa d’en Blanes, Mar Sea Club offers a sophisticated experience away from the hustle and bustle. Its Mediterranean cuisine incorporates Latin American influences in dishes such as hamachi tiradito, seafood ceviche and its rice dishes. Guests arriving by sea can access the club via its tender service.
Matsuhisa Mallorca: this summer’s culinary highlight
One of the major new additions for 2026 is Matsuhisa Mallorca, situated in the new Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra. Chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa’s menu combines Nobu-style Japanese cuisine with international influences, featuring sushi and Japanese-inspired cocktails. The spectacular sea views, the sushi bar and the elegant outdoor bar complete the experience.
Beso Beach Mallorca: Basque-Mediterranean fusion
On Palmanova beach, within ZEL Mallorca, Beso Beach Mallorca combines a relaxed atmosphere with cuisine that blends Basque recipes with Mediterranean flavours, designed to be shared by the sea.
SiSo Beach: cosmopolitan cuisine overlooking Son Maties
Right on Son Maties beach, SiSo Beach combines the sea, fine dining and music in a contemporary setting with unobstructed views of the bay. Executive chef Claudio Vargas has created an internationally inspired Mediterranean menu featuring fresh fish, dry-aged meats, rice dishes and local produce, as well as craft cocktails and homemade desserts.
Cape Nao: Mediterranean spirit on the shores of Magaluf
Right on the seafront in Magaluf, within the Meliá Calvià Beach hotel, Cape Nao boasts a terrace in shades of white and blue that opens out onto the sea. Its Mediterranean cuisine allows you to move from a casual lunch on a Balinese bed to a more sophisticated dinner, always accompanied by cocktails and the relaxed atmosphere of its beach club.
Nikki Beach Mallorca: barefoot luxury by the sea
Overlooking the island of Sa Porrassa, Nikki Beach Mallorca combines gastronomy, music, design and entertainment at one of the island’s most renowned beach clubs. Its menu blends international flavours with local ingredients in a selection that includes seafood, fish, sushi and healthy dishes, accompanied by champagne and cocktails. Its Nikki Privé terrace offers an elevated view of the club and the Mediterranean.
Coast by East: Asian flavours in Port Adriano
In Port Adriano, the marina designed by Philippe Starck, Coast by East offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere amongst some of Mallorca’s most spectacular yachts. Its menu combines Asian and Mediterranean cuisine, grilled dishes and sushi creations designed for sharing. The experience is rounded off by an extensive wine cellar and The Strand, its pool area next to the harbour.
More than just places to eat, these ten terraces also offer a way to explore the Calvià coastline through its flavours. Ten venues, each with its own distinct character, yet all sharing one essential ingredient: the ever-present Mediterranean on the other side of the table.
