"Mallorca's clifftop star — father-and-son Benet and Jaume Vicens cook contemporary island tasting menus above the Tramuntana sea, a view-led occasion."
About Béns d'Avall
Béns d'Avall stands on a clifftop on the Sóller–Deià coast in the Serra de Tramuntana, with terrace views straight out over the Mediterranean — one of the most dramatic settings on Mallorca. The father-and-son team of Benet and Jaume Vicens has championed Balearic cooking here since 1971, and the kitchen now holds a Michelin star and a Green Star for sustainability, putting island produce through a contemporary, technically assured lens.
For Mallorca's other top tables, compare the two-star Voro, the Mediterranean cooking at Es Fum and Macarena de Castro's Maca de Castro. Béns d'Avall belongs to the island's fine-dining and tasting-menu scene.
The Kitchen
The Vicens kitchen reaches its full expression on the tasting menu — in the evening a fixed degustation, while at lunch guests can pick courses from the carte. Father and son are advocates for high-quality seasonal local produce, sourcing across the island to guarantee freshness and to champion Balearic producers, work recognised by both a Michelin star and a Green Star. Expect a contemporary, delicate read of Mallorcan cooking, with the tasting menu running around €160 before pairings.
The Room
The setting is the headline: a clifftop terrace in the Tramuntana mountains with the Mediterranean and the coastline falling away below, magical at sunset. The dining room and terrace suit a long, unhurried meal rather than a quick stop, and the remote coastal address — a winding drive from Sóller — makes it a destination in itself. Booking ahead is essential, particularly for a terrace table in the warmer months.
Best for a Proposal
A Michelin star, a clifftop terrace and a sunset over the Mediterranean make Béns d'Avall a natural setting for a proposal or an anniversary on Mallorca. The destination drive and long tasting menu also suit a dinner to impress clients.
Not for
Not for a quick beach lunch or a budget meal — Béns d'Avall is a destination clifftop tasting-menu room, a winding drive from Sóller, built for a long special-occasion dinner.
