Playa De Palma, Majorca, Spain

Dining is centred on Playa Blanca, the main buffet restaurant serving generous breakfasts and dinners with show-cooking stations. Expect a mix of Mediterranean favourites, international dishes and plenty of fresh salads and desserts. Smart casual dress is requested (no beachwear, and men are usually asked to wear long trousers in the evening).

For drinks, you’re spoilt for choice:
• Bar Mar Blau – stylish lobby bar, typically open 09:00–00:00 in the cooler months, perfect for pre-dinner aperitifs or a relaxed nightcap. In summer it closes earlier when the outdoor sunset bar takes centre stage.
• Pool Bar – open roughly 10:00–18:00 between mid-May and mid-October, serving refreshments and daytime cocktails right by the water.
• Sunset Champagne Bar – elegant cocktail bar by the pool, usually open 18:00–00:00 between April and October (subject to occupancy), ideal for watching the sky turn pink with a glass of bubbles in hand.
• Star Prestige Lounge – an exclusive adults-only space reserved for Star Prestige guests, with refreshments and a relaxed, club-style atmosphere.

Reservations or supplements may apply depending on your board basis and season; opening hours and inclusions can change, so always check the latest details in-resort.
