“Concepcio by Nobis, a new opening tucked away at the edge of the old town — is fast becoming my most recommended hotel. Its terrace, though small, is picture-perfect and a total oasis. When it is a little quiet in the off-season, I might sneak in with my laptop to work and (if the staff are obliging) take a dip in the heated pool.”

“Nano is a tiny but perfectly formed coffee bar on an unassuming road behind Paseo del Borne, owned by the sweetest Argentinian couple. We tend to grab our usual para llevar and perch on one of the cool stone benches beneath the canopy of trees, watching the city come alive.”

“One of my favourites is Mistral, where if I’m lucky, I’ll bag a table on its Placa de Weyler terrace. It’s the perfect meet-up location and the island’s first, and arguably best, specialty coffee roaster. I order the cold brew with a splash of oat milk.”

”Super fresh local ingredients and generous portions. Opens Monday - Saturday 8am to 5pm , Sundays 8.30am - 4pm. The staff is very attentive and friendly.”

”From El Perrito, across the road is the French brasserie Cafe Poupette, which I love for those we’ll-be-here-for-hours-brunches where fresh green juices and coffee can quickly turn into Cava.”

“Bar Nicolas is a long-standing favorite, year-round. It always draws a chic crowd, sipping on Aperols or Vermut and enjoying the surrounding chatter.”

“I’m a little spoiled by the privacy, views, and (occasionally) the service on offer on the rooftop. However, I love the terrace at Hotel Sant Francesc. It’s the perfect starting point for an evening with the girls. We’ll arrive at 8 pm and sit up on the high stools for prime positioning.”

“El Camino is absolutely worth the hype and the early reservation. I love sitting at the marble counter and watching the chefs prepare everything from scratch. Order the courgette flowers, jamon croquettes, lamb cutlets, and grilled octopus — washed down with Mallorcan wine.”

“The new flagship Cortana shop is like stepping into another world. An earthy, minimal haven, it’s filled with the most sumptuous silk and linen designs — some of which are made on the island and a small line of locally crafted ceramics and homeware that I’m slowly filling my kitchen with. Don’t miss the terrace, where you can order from the outdoor bar, and pause beneath the fig tree and bougainvillea.”

“If I’m craving either a culture top-up, or an hour of peace and solitude, I’ll go to the Es Baluard Museum to see whatever current exhibition is showing.”
