Rooftops in Palma: the art of saying goodbye to summer from above

There are moments that can only be understood from above. Watching how the Mediterranean light caresses the old city walls, how the sky blends with the bay, and how the city begins to glow with thousands of lights… Palma has a very special way of saying farewell to summer: from its most iconic rooftops. And staying at Es Princep means having the privilege of starting this journey without leaving the hotel.

Es Princep Rooftop: the jewel of the Old Town

The Rooftop at Es Princep is much more than just a terrace. Located right in front of the historic walls and with panoramic views over the Bay of Palma, it offers a unique setting to enjoy creative cocktails or share an aperitif as the sun sets behind Palma Cathedral. The heated infinity pool and its comfortable loungers make this spot a refuge both by day and by night. It is the perfect combination of design, relaxation, and cosmopolitan atmosphere.👉 Learn more about Es Princep Rooftop.

The sunset ritual in Palma

What makes Palma’s rooftops so unique are not only the views, but the way they connect with the city itself:

• The sound of La Seu’s bells in the distance.
• The sea breeze reminding you that the Mediterranean is just steps away.
• The chance to discover new creations in local mixology, from classic mojitos to cocktails infused with Mallorcan herbs such as mint or basil.
