The Sky Bar tops the Hotel Hostal Cuba on Carrer de Sant Magi in Santa Catalina, a rooftop that frames the cathedral, the marina and the Mediterranean in a single view over Palma.
The view is the headline. The Rooftop Guide rates the deck among the best in Palma, with the cathedral, the port and the sea visible from the rail. West-facing seats catch the sunset.
Order a cava cocktail or a classic and arrive by 8pm in summer to take a rail seat before the sundowner crowd lands. The bar opens from breakfast and shifts into an evening room as the light drops.
The crowd mixes hotel guests and locals who climb up for the view rather than a deep cocktail list. Reserve a table on summer weekends, when the deck fills fast.
Who would love it: anyone after a Santa Catalina sunset with the cathedral in frame. Who should skip it: drinkers after a serious mixology program, which is better found at LAB a few streets over.
Santa Catalina is an old fishermen's quarter turned drinks district, and the Sky Bar is its best vantage point. Pair it with a vermouth at La Rosa before or after.
Sky Bar at Hostal Cuba appears on our list of the best bars in Palma, and the full Palma bar guide maps the rest of the city. Pair it with La Rosa Vermutaria or Bar Bosch nearby.
