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
Palma
A lovingly preserved 16th-century palace on the central Passeig des Born, Palma's most elegant boulevard, with original architectural details — carved stone windows, antique furniture, a central courtyard — at prices well below the competition.
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.
The definitive Mallorcan retreat — a 16th-century manor house of ochre stone nestled in the olive groves above Deià with uninterrupted mountain and sea views, a two-Michelin-star restaurant, and a spa that feels like a private oasis. Robert Graves lived and wrote a stone's throw away, and the village's creative heritage is palpable.
A clifftop luxury resort above the Port de Sóller fjord, commanding views of the Sierra de Tramuntana and the harbour below, with infinity pools, a comprehensive spa, and one of the most dramatic settings of any Mediterranean hotel. The tramcar down to the port is a delight.
Palma
A 19th-century military fortress on a private cove south of Palma, converted into one of Spain's most extraordinary hotels with seawater pools cut into the rock, artillery rooms transformed into intimate suites, and a sense of utter seclusion despite its proximity to the capital.

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.
