Oh, Mallorca! You are a dream. Your picturesque villages, local markets, hiking trails and breathtaking beaches are so different than the strip of tacky nightclubs and dingy hotels I remembered from my first holiday with my friends after our final school exams aged 18. For such a small place, there are so many things to do and beautiful towns and resort areas on Spain’s most popular Balearic island, with loads of great hotels and accommodation. Mallorca is so easy to get to, we flew from Barcelona which is only 30 minute flight and cost €32. Mallorca is famous for its beautiful, sandy beaches surrounded by crystal clear waters, sheltered coves, rugged mountains and picturesque villages. Mallorca is a beachgoer’s dream, home to rugged coastline scattered with more than 200 picturesque calas (small inlets) and beaches. Pair that with the quaint villages, picturesque waterfronts, impressive mountains, fresh seafood, delicious tapas, some of Europe’s best hiking, and you have one of the most sought-after summer destinations in Europe. Below is my ultimate guide to the island, I share with you my favourite places, the best beaches, hikes, what to see, where to stay and eat. I hope…
