Mallorca – with its vibrant capital, Palma – is the ideal spot to stretch summer just a little longer. That’s why we set out to find the perfect starting point and the trendiest bars for your getaway.
A beautiful boutique and designer hotel in the heart of Palma de Mallorca
An enjoyable evening in Palma begins at the Hotel Cort with an exquisite meal at the hotel’s own Raw & Grill restaurant, which has earned a stellar reputation far beyond the borders of the Mallorcan capital. The drinks menu is expertly paired with the various raw or grilled fish and meat dishes, offering a selection of aperitifs, special cavas, unique wines – including those typical of the island – and non-alcoholic options.
If you feel like exploring Palma’s bar scene after dinner, Hotel Cort’s director, Sven Rasch, is more than happy to share his personal favorite spots. Thanks to the boutique hotel’s central location on the traffic-calmed Plaça de Cort, with its historic town hall and 600-year-old olive tree, the journey back to bed is always short, even after a long evening of cocktails.
