Every year, around 10 million visitors are drawn to Mallorca—and it’s no wonder. This Balearic gem offers natural beauty that’s hard to believe until you see it: sparkling turquoise bays, peaceful hidden coves, and beaches so stunning they look like they belong on a postcard (no filter needed!).
Here’s why so many travelers return, time and again, to this sun-kissed Mediterranean island:
MOUNTAINS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY
Mallorca has two mountainous regions, the Serra de Tramuntana and the Serres de Llevant. The Tramuntana Mountains stretch proudly along the northwest coast, offering more than just picturesque views. Winding up to peaks like Puig Major or Sa Calobra, you’ll be rewarded at every bend with panoramic vistas that make the effort worthwhile. Whether you walk, drive, or cycle, these landscapes feel like they’re from another world.
COASTLINES TO FALL IN LOVE WITH
With around 300 beaches, Mallorca invites you to take your pick.
Prefer a long, sandy shore with calm, shallow waters? Head to Playa de Muro, Playa d’Alcudia, or Es Trenc. Fancy a quiet escape between the cliffs? Try Cala Deià, Cala Llombards, or Cala Mondragó. The sea here is famously clear and turquoise—perfect for a gentle swim, a little snorkeling, or simply soaking up the Mediterranean glow.
CHARMING VILLAGES WITH TIMELESS APPEAL
Mallorca’s villages are like scenes from a storybook: cobbled lanes, stone-built houses, and tranquil town squares where time slows down.
Stroll through places like Soller, Deia, Pollensa, and Valldemossa, and you’ll feel the blend of history and harmony that defines the island’s spirit. These are perfect spots to sip a local wine, browse an art gallery, or simply enjoy a peaceful café in the sun.
A TASTE OF MALLORCA
Food is a celebration here. You’ll find delicious tapas, seafood paella, Mallorcan wines, sangria and local treats like almond cake and ensaimadas (a light, sweet pastry). Visit a traditional market, enjoy a long lunch under the sun, or dine al fresco at a tucked-away village restaurant. Mallorca knows how to feed both body and soul.
RICH CULTURE & HISTORY
Over the centuries, Mallorca has been shaped by many cultures. The Romans left their mark through architecture, road networks, and language. The Moors brought innovations in farming (e.g. introduced citrus and almonds), in architecture and language—today, you’ll still see Arabic influence in place names like Alaro, Binissalem, and Banyalbufar.
COMFORT, STYLE & ISLAND HOSPITALITY
Whether you prefer a charming boutique farmhouse, a modern hotel with a spa, or a luxurious coastal retreat, Mallorca has you covered. Many places even cater specifically to cyclists—with bike garages, wellness amenities, and staff who understand the art of active relaxation.
EASY TO REACH
Mallorca is just a short, direct flight from most major European cities. The Palma airport is well equipped—even for travelers with bikes or sports gear. Arrive, unpack, and you’re ready to enjoy the island from day one.
YEAR-ROUND SUNSHINE
Mallorca has over 300 days of sun each year. Mild springs and golden autumns are perfect for everything from exploring villages to enjoying active holidays without the heat.
