Some restaurants serve great food, and then there are those that offer a complete experience—where flavors, ambiance, and surroundings come together to create something truly magical. Il Paradiso, located in Cala Major just outside Palma de Mallorca, is one of those places.
With its spectacular views over Palma Bay, its sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, and its top-tier Italian cuisine, it has become a favorite for both locals and visitors alike.
An Oasis with a Panoramic View of the Sea
Stepping into Il Paradiso feels like entering a romantic movie scene. The stylish interior, large windows framing the sea, and stunning outdoor terrace create an atmosphere of both luxury and tranquility. But it's the terrace that truly sets this restaurant apart—here, you can enjoy one of Mallorca’s most breathtaking views, with a gentle sea breeze enhancing the experience.
Italian Flavors in Perfect Harmony
The menu is a tribute to Italian cuisine, enriched with Mediterranean influences that elevate each dish. Start your meal with a Carpaccio di Manzo, where thinly sliced beef melts in your mouth, or a classic Vitello Tonnato, where tender veal meets a silky tuna sauce in an unexpectedly delightful combination.
Pasta lovers will find it hard to resist the Linguine alle Vongole, where the taste of the sea is perfectly balanced with a light white wine sauce, or the rich Tagliatelle al Ragu di Cinghiale, where wild boar ragu is slow-cooked to perfection. And for those who love truffle, the Risotto al Tartufo is a must—an aromatic, creamy dish that tastes as divine as it smells.
No Italian meal is complete without a classic dessert. Il Paradiso’s Tiramisu is a masterpiece, striking the perfect balance between espresso, mascarpone, and cocoa for a truly indulgent finish.
How to Get to Il Paradiso
The restaurant is located at Avenida de Joan Miró 243, just a ten-minute drive from Palma’s city center. Taxis are a convenient option, but if you prefer public transportation, bus 4 runs directly from central Palma and stops near the restaurant. Want to make the evening even more special? Take a scenic coastal walk from Palma—it takes about an hour and offers stunning sea views before you arrive at one of Mallorca’s most romantic dining spots.
When is the Best Time to Visit Il Paradiso?
For the most magical experience, sunset is the perfect time to visit. Between 7:30 PM and 9:00 PM, depending on the season, Palma Bay puts on a breathtaking display of pink, purple, and golden hues. During the summer months, reservations are essential, especially if you want to secure a table on the terrace.
An Evening to Remember

As you lean back with a chilled glass of Prosecco, watch the sun dip below the horizon, and feel the soft sea breeze on your skin, you’ll understand why Il Paradiso is named as it is. A little slice of paradise, right in Palma Bay.
