Ever thought about escaping to a place where life moves slower, the sea sparkles like a million diamonds, and every little village has a story to tell? That place exists — it’s called Mallorca. And trust us, once you go, you'll wonder why you waited so long.
Let’s keep it real — Mallorca isn’t just another Mediterranean island. Imagine a postcard-perfect coastline, cute mountain towns, wine and tapas under the stars, and days that end with orange-and-pink sunsets from the deck of a sailboat. Sounds good? Let’s dive in.

So, why visit Mallorca?

Because it has everything. Whether you're into beach bumming, hiking, culture hunting, or sailing into the horizon, Mallorca has your back.

Here’s a taste:

Nature that hits different — cliffside trails, quiet coves, rolling olive groves, and the Serra de Tramuntana mountains.
Towns with soul — Palma, Alcudia, Deià, and Sóller... each with its own vibe and historical richness.
Sea that begs you to jump in — calm, clear, and oh-so-inviting.
Rich culture — Roman ruins, Moorish gardens, Gothic cathedrals, and modern art museums.
Food to fall in love with — think pa amb oli, seafood straight from the boat, traditional ensaïmada pastries, and local wines that don’t make it out of the island.

Best Time to Go? Depends On Your Vibe

Mallorca’s awesome all year round, but each season offers something unique::
Spring (April–June): Warm days, fewer crowds, blooming flowers. Perfect for hiking and sailing.
Summer (July–early Sept): Sunny, buzzing, and great for travel on a yacht... if you don’t mind sharing the island with everyone else.
Fall (late Sept–Nov): Still warm with fewer tourists — a great time for cycling, wine tours, or a quieter charter.
Winter (Dec–March): Milder climate than mainland Spain. Good for exploring local life and the quieter countryside.

How to Get to Mallorca

Fly in: Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is huge. You’ll probably find a direct flight from wherever you are in Europe.
Ferry it: Coming from Barcelona, Valencia, or Ibiza? Ferries run all the time. Bring your car if you’re planning a road trip.

Heading to our base in Port de Pollença?

It’s located in the stunning northeast of Mallorca — a peaceful and beautiful part of the island, ideal for starting your sailing holiday.

By car or taxi: It takes about 50 minutes from Palma Airport to Port de Pollença. Taxis are available at the airport, or we can help you arrange a private transfer.

By bus: Take the A32 express line from the airport to Alcúdia, then hop on a local bus to Port de Pollença. It’s affordable and scenic — the ride takes about 1.5 hours total.

What Not to Miss in Mallorca:

Here’s your hit list — screenshot this:

1. Palma de Mallorca: The island's capital, where big city energy meets old town charm. Don’t skip La Seu Cathedral — it’s jaw-dropping.
2. Alcúdia & the northeast: Historic Alcúdia boasts medieval walls and Roman ruins. The nearby beaches of Playa de Muro and Cala Mesquida are ideal for families.
3. Formentor Peninsula: Curvy roads, killer views, and a lighthouse worth the drive (or sail!).
4. Serra de Tramuntana: If you're into hiking, you’ll fall in love here. Plus, Valldemossa and Deià? Straight out of a movie.
5. Port de Sóller: A gorgeous horseshoe bay, reached by an old wooden train. You’ll want to Instagram it. Promise.

Mallorca by Sea = Pure Magic

Let’s talk sailing. Because while Mallorca’s lovely from land, it’s next-level from the water. With its calm turquoise bays, reliable summer winds, and abundance of anchorages, Mallorca is one of Europe’s best sailing destinations.
Picture this: you’re on a sailboat, gliding into a secret cove only reachable by sea. No crowds, no stress — just you, the water, and the sound of the wind in the sails.

Best Beaches in Mallorca

Mallorca’s got a beach for every mood. Here are some favorites:
Es Trenc: Long, wild, and Caribbean-style.

Cala Varques: Remote and chill, accessible by foot or boat. Bring snacks and snorkels.
Cala Santanyí: Great for snorkeling and cliff diving.

Local Tips from People Who’ve Been

Rent a car to explore inland villages and mountain roads.
Avoid only staying in Palma — the island’s true charm lies beyond the capital.
Try local food like tumbet, pa amb oli, and sobrassada.
Pack for the sun, but don’t forget a jacket for mountain trips or spring sailing.
Plan ahead in summer — both accommodations and yachts are in high demand.
