“When in Rome, do as the Romans do” as the saying goes, and in accordance with this advice it’s worth devoting an entire post to one of Mallorcan residents’ favourite areas. Why, you might be wondering?

In fact there are plenty of reasons to look for a Playa de Muro hotel and for choosing this area to enjoy a well-earned break in Mallorca!

To start with, in terms of surface area Playa de Muro has one of the largest unspoilt beaches on the island. It is also ideal for surfing and kite surfing, because the open bay makes its particularly appropriate for aquatic sports.

Its crystal-clear waters and fine sandy beach are compelling reasons in their own right, but in addition this part of the coast is known for its beach bars, famous for their excellent paella and ideal for sipping a refreshing mojito with one’s feet in the sand. An unmissable part of the Mallorcan summer experience!

Here is a list of the best restaurants/bars for savouring a delicious paella at Playa de Muro – please bear in mind that it’s usually essential to book:

• Can Gavella

Notable for the lively atmosphere they manage to create year after year. A family restaurant located in the sand dunes with Mediterranean décor, a DJ at weekends and delicious paellas.

• Ponderosa
  

A summertime classic; notable for its cuisine – which in addition to the classic rice dishes includes a new dish every season – the staff and its excellent location.

• La Santa

A restaurant that, while lacking the history and tradition of the other two, has managed to carve out its own niche in the area. Its décor, service and paellas have enabled it to create a reputation in a district viewed as paradise by any devotee of good paella on the beach.
