Known as the artists’ village, Deià has attracted creative spirits since Chopin and George Sand drew the world’s attention to this terracotta-roofed village. Guaranteed to inspire your imagination, this bohemian village is tucked away from the city bustle, surrounded by the majestic Tramuntana mountains and looking out towards the dazzling sea.

Surrounded by glorious countryside and abundant orange groves, Sóller is perched in the middle of the Tramuntana mountain range. Embracing the abundance of culture in the Art Nouveau museum, Can Prunera, the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences, or simply lounging around the cafés and restaurants that line the main square, there’s no shortage of things to do. Then, matching the colour of the region’s famous produce, take the orange wooden tram from the centre of town towards the Port to Soller where the breathtaking views make the journey feel like the main event.

In the northwest of the island, Pollença is a charming village made up of honey-coloured buildings and cobblestone streets. Watch the world go by at one of the charming cafés that line that town, as the dancing morning sun joins in on the festivities. Then if you are in the spirit for adventure climb the ancient stone staircase towards the charming old church, where 365 steps later you will be rewarded with staggering views of nature’s bounty.

Despite their imposing appearance, the doors to enter the Mediaeval town of Alcúdia warmly welcome you into this time capsule. Discover relics of times gone by, tracing along the town’s Mediaeval walls and stepping into the neo-Gothic church. Then, allow the timeless beauty of Alcúdia’s beaches to take your breath away, where the turquoise shores lap along the fine sands. 

For breathtaking natural beauty, bring your beach towel to Sa Calobra, a wild beach that promises a mix of sand, gravel and small stones. To reach these sapphire waters, nestled among rocky cliffs, expect a journey of hairpin bends or take the more leisurely route with one of the ferry boats that run regularly in the summer months. 

Surrounded by vertiginous cliffs at Cala Banyalbufar, it feels as if nature’s colour palette is more vibrant than ever. Illuminated by the golden sun, expect saturated turquoise waters and porcelain-coloured cliff sides that are dotted with a green blanket of pine forest. Although this pebble beach is a tranquil escape in the heart of nature, in fact the town centre and its many restaurants are only a fifteen-minute walk away.

Calo des Moro camouflages itself among the sheer cliffs, deep inside a bay. Bountiful rewards however await for those who make the journey on foot, down the flight of stairs carved into the rock. Discover stretches of fine sand and calm waters although beware that this ‘hidden gem’ is no longer a secret, so make sure you get there early to secure your coveted spot.

Just outside of Palma, Illetas promises picturesque sands without having to make a perilous journey to get there. Its many towering trees create a canopy that blocks out the view of the nearby hotels yet it means that come lunchtime, the choice is yours from a wide variety of restaurants.

Priding itself on ‘bringing haute cuisine to everyone’, Aromata offers a tasting menu that expertly pairs local produce with the best vintages on the island. Drawing on local knowledge, each component in the dishes works in harmony. Take a seat in the stately Mallorcan courtyard and enjoy dishes such as the fresh catch of the day served with gazpachuelo, a traditional seafood soup, and tombet, layers of potatoes, aubergines and red peppers.
