Pura Vida is the beach restaurant right on Playa Niu Blau between Santa Eulalia and Es Canar – beach bar, sun loungers and a small, ambitious restaurant in a relaxed atmosphere under pine trees, with DJ sounds from day to night.
Pura Vida is located at the southern end of the quiet Niu Blau bay, a fine sandy beach between Santa Eulalia and Es Canar. During the day it is a classic beach club with loungers and daybeds right by the water; in the evening it turns into an atmospheric restaurant. The name says it all: relaxed atmosphere, Mediterranean cuisine and chilled music from the DJ.
The menu features Mediterranean dishes with a creative approach – from fresh bread with alioli, olives and tapenade to salads and starters, and on to fish and meat dishes. The specials menu changes regularly. For the current menu, opening hours and reservations, it’s best to check directly with the restaurant.
