Lined with high-rise apartment blocks and countless bars along the coast, happy hours turn into happy days in Mallorca,the largest island in the Balearic Islands archipelago in Spain. Although a vacation retreat to Mallorca can consist of nightlong parties followed with lazy mornings relaxing in the beach, the island as a travel destination is much more complex
Mallorca’s lineage of hosting Europe’s elite is merited by the fact that the island is only a 2 hour-flight away from London,Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris,Milan and Zurich. Along with accessibility, Mallorca’s ‘it’ factor lays within its regional diversity. Mallorca’s Northeast is home to the island’s culturally rich history where one can explore remarkable castles, ruins, cathedrals and monasteries, grand manor houses, gardens and host of art galleries and museums.
What is Mallorca without its beaches? The northeast is covered with stretches of golden sand from Puerto Pollensa through to C’an Picafort. Our top three beaches for this region include Playa des Muro,Cala Torta and Cala Mesquida. Moving towards the Eastern region of the island, one finds 1.5 kilometers of the exquisite Cala Millor beach full of secluded and breathtaking coves and inlets. Cala d’Or and Cala Varques are two of the eastern region’s hidden gems since so few people know about them.In fact, getting to them requirescrossing through a private and rural pathway situated between Porto Colom and Porto Cristo.
Although Mallorca is a yearround vacation spot, winter provides especially good weather for hiking, cycling, mountain biking, horseback riding, mountain climbing,sea-fishing and sailing in Mallorca’snorthwest. The western region of Mallorca is the home to the Tramuntana mountain range where the villages of this area cling to rocky outcrops.The few beaches along this coast are hard to get to,small and pebbly, but once you arrive to the hidden beaches of Sa Cabora, Torrent de Pareis and Cala Deia, the trek is well worth the effort.
