The beauty of this small island is that it lends itself perfectly for visitors to see its varied range of landscapes all in one day.

Palma de Mallorca
Perhaps offering the best of both worlds, those choosing to stay in capital are fortunate in having golden sandy beaches as well as fabulous architecture within close proximity. If that’s not enough, Palma has a healthy dose of galleries, museums, restaurants and bars to keep you entertained during your stay.

As can be expected, the capital is home to many quirky boutique hotels that can be found predominantly in the city’s historic centre. Venturing further afield are the larger luxury resorts that, typically, are accompanied by stunning sea views.
Located north-east of the capital, Cala Millor is a popular destination for those looking for ‘fun in the sun’. Purpose-built resorts sprawl proudly along the eastern coastline offering uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean. The stunning beaches further north are difficult to beat, whilst the south is laden with glistening coves.

Binissalem
For those wishing for an altogether more tranquil experience, heading inland to this small village provides the perfect escape from the hustle of the resorts. Internationally-renowned, Binissalem is home to one of the finest red wine vintages to come out of Mallorca.
