Things to do in Mallorca
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
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
