DINING – Es Raco d’es Teix – Michelin star chef and his wife run a fantastic restaurant just 5 minutes walking distance from La Residencia – sublime!! Truly the best version of local lobster ravioli I have ever had!

Cas Patro March – Casual, all seafood down at the beach – whole roasted fish and the freshest muscles I have ever had!

Dont rent a car, splurge for a hotel transfer – the airport can be a bit of mad house and the wait for your rental car can be longer than the actual flight time to the island!
