If there’s one thing we definitely recommend doing when visiting Mallorca, it is renting a car.(A real car, not a plastic beach car, although you could do that too). There is so much more to explore on this island than the beach in front of your resort! Although there is a bus system that works perfectly fine, it doesn’t allow as much flexibility a...
If there’s one drive you do, make it this one! It was sensational and by far one of our favourite things to do in Mallorca. Coming from the girl who gets terribly car sick and pregnant, these hairpin turns didn’t stop me from ooing and ahhing at the amazing scenery that was around every (sharp) corner. Roaming animals, sea views, mountain plains, c...
Palma de Mallorca is a laid-back, vibrant Spanish city full of narrow streets, cafes, high-end shopping to break the bank, interesting architecture to admire and one very impressive cathedral, The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma or more commonly referred to asLa Seu. Due to the scorching heat in the daytime, Palma is best explored early morning o...
Built in 1920, Mercat de Santa Catalinais Palma’s oldest food market and is the supply source for many surrounding restaurants, cafes and even the superyachts. We were fortunate enough to be staying just a few blocks from here and enjoyed visiting it on a daily basis. It’s not an overwhelmingly large market, therefore, it isn’t crowded with tons of...
Another great way to take in the Mallorca sun is heading out on the water for a day of relaxing, snorkelling, BBQs and wine! There are plenty of companies that offer half day, full day or sunset catamaran trips leaving from different parts of the island. Based on our location (Santa Catalina), we opted to spend a whole day out on the water with Oas...
Set in a valley between mountain ranges and the sea, Sollerwas another unique, quaint town to visit in Mallorca. It was half the fun getting here as our mate Google took us for a ride with a few wrong turns. However, it gave us the chance to see behind the scenes of Soller as we followed the extremely narrow back streets (the type of narrow back st...
What’s that saying? It’s the journey, not the destination? In this case, we definitely embraced the journey to get to this magical beach known asCalo Des Moro.It is one of the most photographed beaches on the island and we can totally see why! Directions for reaching here are somewhat difficult, but once you park the car, we suggest following the c...
Everyone loves a good viewpoint! Especially when it provides you with one of the best panoramic views in Mallorca. Towering cliffs & sea views for as far as the eye can see! There is a small amount of walking required if you wish to go to the very top and like everywhere else in Mallorca, prepare yourself for potential parking nightmares. Note: Com...
Playa Formentorcan be found at the northeastern tip of the island and should be on any itinerary when visiting Mallorca. Even if it means driving an hour or more to get there! The drive itself is worth it. This long narrow sandy beach with clear shallow waters was simply beautiful and it was the perfect place to end our day as we relaxed in our wat...
Mondrago National Park was another highlight for us in Mallorca. Gorgeous beaches surrounded by pine forests & sand dunes. As this beach is only accessible via car (not public transport or tour buses), it makes it harder to reach and less visited. There is one main beach – S’amardor beach and then a further 2 (Cala Mondrago, Cala d’en Borgit) which...
