This restaurant is very well known with the tourist but it's still worth a visit. It serves typical Mallorcan food. While you are waiting for your meal, try the toasted mallorcan bread with garlic aioli, they bring it with tomatoes and fresh garlic which should be rubbed onto the bread before applying the aioli. There is a newer Can Pedro with equally good food 100 metres up the road with free parking.
Expect to pay about 20€/person.
If you continue driving up the road you can reach the top of the Na Burguesa hill which offers amazing views of Palma. The road is steep and with many bends... drive carefully.

I had some Argentinian guests request Italian food, I suggested Rossini's and they loved it.
Not for guests on a budget.

This is a must for all my guests.. it's too close to miss out! I have been coming here as far back as I remember and my father can say exactly the same. Everything is good but I recommend the ensaimadas, one of Mallorca's best known pastries. Think spiral shaped croissant, made with lard and covered with icing sugar. That's an ensaimada. If you have a sweet tooth, get the one with the chocolate filling. Besides this, you can also get great own made ice cream, meat empanadas, hot chocolate, coca de trampo. Opens 8am - 9pm. Enjoy!

Apart from being a beautiful walkway and a people watching hot spot, this street also hosts some of the best clothes retailers, including Zara, Massimo Dutti and H&M. I've found prices in spain are slightly lower than other European countries.

Parks & Nature
This is the closest beach to the apartment. On the promenade above it, you'll find plenty of restaurants serving food with sea views.
This is isn't Mallorca's best beach but if you haven't rented a car or fancy taking the bus, it's good enough to cool off in the summer heat.

This is my favorite beach on the island. It has no road access and is a half hour walk from Colonia de San Jordi.. i.e. far less people than some of our other beaches.
Walk towards the left when you leave the beach by the port, you will first arrive in Playa del Dolls, continue past this beach for a further 20 mins and you'll arrive at Carbo Beach. In summer time, best to come around 4pm. Watch as the people leave and you get the beach to yourselves. I suggest you begin walking back when the sun is about to disappear behind the town and watch the beautiful sunset on your way back.

This is the mountain range that runs along the north coast of the island. Beaches on this side of the island are mostly rocky but the mountain views make up for it. This is where you'll find our most picturesque swimming spots. A great road trip is from Soller to Estellencs. You'll drive through, Fornalutx, Deia, Valldemossa and Banyalbufar, all worthy of visiting. Try to time it so your looking west over the sea at sunset.

If you don't want to go too far afield, this is a good beach to come to. You can catch the 104 or the express bus 106 from Plaza España's underground bus terminal. (This is where the long distance red and yellow buses leave from). Next door to the beach is Puerto Portals, where you can see many beautiful yachts anchored. Most of the restaurants are a little expensive but you can get a great pizza at Diablito for a more reasonable price.
