Famous Palma bar will reopen in January

The Ecker family had signed a deal with a German buyer who wanted to convert the property into a boutique hotel but has had a change of heart.

Once named “the best bar in the world’ by The Times, Abaco’s stunning interior hosts a treasure-trove of antiques, tapestries, sculptures and paintings, all set off with a gorgeous display of fruit and fresh flowers that make this place so enchanting.
