Insider Tips
Hire a car — it is the single most important decision for your Mallorca trip. The island's best coves, mountain villages, and rural restaurants are unreachable by public transport. Book in advance for July–August when rates triple.
The Palma–Sóller vintage train (€35 return) runs through spectacular mountain tunnels and orange grove valleys — a genuinely delightful excursion and one of the most beautiful rail journeys in Spain.
For beach swimming away from the crowds, seek out the north coast between Port de Pollença and Formentor, or the southeast coves near Cala Mondragó natural park. Both are far less visited than the Bay of Palma.
Mallorcan cuisine is the island's best-kept secret: pa amb oli (bread rubbed with tomato and olive oil) topped with cured meats, sobrassada sausage, and Mallorcan-produced olive oil, cheese, and wine are outstanding in the island's interior.
Hiking the GR221 Dry Stone Route through the Tramuntana mountains (full route 9 days, sections doable in a day) is one of the finest walking experiences in the western Mediterranean. The section between Deià and Valldemossa is the most dramatic.
Our Picks
5 hotels · Updated February 2026
Capdepera
A romantic rural retreat in the island's wild east coast near the Artà caves, with stone cottages scattered across a hilltop estate and a sweeping view of the Bay of Alcúdia. Peace, olive trees, and near-total seclusion.
Sencelles
A magnificently restored 17th-century country estate in the island's agricultural heartland, offering 20 suites in the main finca and surrounding cottages surrounded by almond and citrus groves. The estate's wine, olive oil, and organic garden produce appear on the dining table daily.
Port de Pollença
A playful, modernist resort in Port de Pollença on the north coast, with colourful interiors, a beach club, and easy access to the Formentor peninsula and its extraordinary sandy beach. One of the most stylish family- and couple-friendly options on the north shore.
Palma
A stylish boutique hotel in a converted 16th-century Palma townhouse with a rooftop pool, well-curated art collection, and a ground-floor restaurant that draws Palma's design community. Excellent value for a Palma old-town address of this quality.
Palma
A charming budget boutique in the heart of Palma's old town with brightly tiled rooms, a welcoming inner courtyard, and a social vibe unusual for a budget property. One of Palma's most cheerful and well-run independent hotels.

Common Questions
Based on our anonymous reviews, Son Jaumell Hotel Rural stands out as the top budget choice in Mallorca for 2026, offering exceptional quality in its category.
May–June and September–October for ideal beach weather without the August peak. April is spectacular for almond blossom and near-empty mountain roads. July–August is very busy and expensive.
Prices vary significantly by season and location. Budget options start around $80-120/night, mid-range runs $150-300, and luxury properties command $400+.
