Things to do in Mallorca

A street with cane furniture outside a shop.
  • Enjoy the treasure trove that is the Santanyi weekly market - shop and explore handmade leather goods, pottery, boho-chic clothing, artisanal products, textiles, cheese, olives & produce (Wednesdays & Saturdays)

  • Take a morning boat tour of the coves along the east coast & enjoy crystal clear waters & spectacular landscapes

  • Visit the Fundacio Pilar i Joan Miro (Palma) - the collection, studio & gardens are sensational

  • Take an afternoon stroll in the picture-perfect village of Valldemossa. It’s otherworldly.

  • Splurge on the southern coast of the island & reserve a cabana at Puro Beach for the day.

  • Visit the Roman ruins of the ancient city of Pollentia

  • Pop into Beauvalais (Santanyi), the most delightful shop proprietor and “can’t resist” rattan bags, linens, clothing & classic headbands.

Places to eat & drink in Mallorca

Two croissants with coffee.
  • Lunch on the beach with paella & rosé at s’Ona Beach (Cala Santanyi)

  • A lunch of pimientos, croquetes & gazpacho at Fornalutx’s Es Turo. The food is unbelievable, but its location in the Tramunta mountain range is even more unforgettable

  • Leisurely late lunch at Cafe Miro at La Residencia (Deia) - said lunch will evolve into the happiest of hours. It's nothing short of perfection.

  • Early morning latte and croissants at Suss (Alcudia)

  • Atmosphere and paella at Sa Foradada (Deia) - and the coolest part? Only accessible by foot or boat

  • Cocktails on the panoramic roof terrace of Sant Francesc Hotel (Palma)

  • Tapas at Es Roquissar (Valldemossa). The most quaint place in a gorgeous plaza with leafy trees and a beautiful view - they even provide blankets for a chilly evening and spectacular service
