The light shifts from white to gold, then to a deep apricot orange — and you are lying on a Bali bed high above the rooftops of Colònia de Sant Jordi, watching the sea slowly drink in the colour of the sky. This is the moment the Sunset Sea Club was built for.
Concept
Not a standalone beach club but a rooftop on the top floor of Hotel Villa Chiquita — adults only, quiet, polished, with one clear purpose: making the sunset an experience. The infinity pool seems to melt into the Mediterranean, sun loungers and Bali beds arranged around it, and the cocktail bar makes sure your glass stays full. By day the rooftop is an unhurried retreat; as the light turns golden, it becomes one of the finest vantage points in the south of Mallorca.
Atmosphere
"The place where time stops" — that is how the hotel describes its flagship deck, and you feel it. No thumping bass, no crowds, no children. The ethos is a deliberate slow evening: no rush, no noise, just sea air, soft light and live music through the summer at the golden hour. The setting is warm-toned — wood, Mediterranean colours, elegant details that fit the hotel's overarching design language. Guests consistently describe the view as breathtaking and the cocktail culture as perfect.
Food & Drinks
The rooftop kitchen plays in the same league as the hotel itself — snacks and dishes come from the same kitchen that runs the gourmet restaurant Fonoll Marí. Two dishes stand out from guest reviews: a poké bowl and a burrata, both carefully made and matching the setting. Signature cocktails are the heart of the offering; wine drinkers are well looked after too. The price level sits at the upper end, which fits the exclusivity of the concept: a minimum spend keeps the rooftop from feeling crowded.
Programme & Music
Through the summer, live music regularly takes the rooftop — the venue's own Sunset Music format signals this is not background noise but a curated evening programme. The hotel also runs yoga sessions and yoga retreats up here, a very different but equally fitting use of the same space in the early morning. Groups and brands looking for an exclusive, visually strong backdrop can hire the entire rooftop privately: cocktail events, celebrations and film shoots take place here regularly.
Who & What Occasions
Couples looking for a romantic aperitif setting at sunset without the noise of a big party venue. Travellers who spend the day at Es Trenc beach and want a perfect close, where the atmosphere holds up and the view lives up to its name. Groups of friends who rate quality above volume. Teams and brands needing an exclusive, photogenic backdrop — Villa Chiquita offers the full rooftop for private hire.
Insider Tip
The Bali beds are available in various packages, from day use to a dedicated sunset package — they are popular and limited, so book ahead rather than hoping for availability on the day. Hotel guests of Villa Chiquita have complimentary access, but even they need to reserve a spot at the front desk. The golden hour just before sunset is the finest time up here — if you do not want to miss the colour change over the sea, plan your ascent with time to spare.
