Last month, we took an unforgettable trip to Mallorca, combining our love of fashion and relaxation. It was a much-needed break, filled with sun, sand, and delicious food. In case you’re planning your own fashionable getaway to this Mediterranean gem, here’s a guide to making your experience truly fabulous.
Getting Around in Style
Mallorca offers sun, sea, and sand just a two-hour flight from London Gatwick. Arriving at Palma Airport, we rented a chic compact car from Hertz, perfect for navigating the island’s narrow roads and limited parking. Public transportation is limited, so a rental car is essential for exploring the island in style.
A Luxurious Stay at Finca Serna
We booked a Garden Suite at the stunning Finca Serna, a new hotel nestled in the heart of the island. The hotel’s minimalist design, breathtaking countryside views, and relaxing spa made it the ideal spot for our special occasion.
Delicious Dining Spots
Our dining recommendations include Ca’s Patro March for a seafood lunch with an unbeatable view, El Camino for amazing Spanish tapas in Palma, and La Fortaleza at the Cap Rocat Hotel for a truly unique, luxurious dining experience. For next time, we’re eager to try Deia’s top picks: El Olivio, Xelini, Restaurante Sa Vinya, and Restaurant Nama.
Exploring Mallorca’s Charming Towns
Palma is a must-visit for its stunning cathedral, gardens, and winding streets perfect for getting lost in. Charming hilltop towns like Deia, Valldemossa, and Fornalutx offer breathtaking views and excellent food. If you’re feeling adventurous, take the 90-minute hike between Fornalutx and Biniaraix for a picturesque sunset experience.
Beach Hopping with a Fashionable Twist
Although we’re not die-hard beach lovers, we appreciated the variety of beaches Mallorca has to offer. Cala Torta offers a more rustic, off-the-beaten-path experience, while Cala Mesquida, Cala Murada, and Cala Sa Nau are other favorites. Plan a beach road trip on a cooler day, enjoying ice cream while you explore each unique spot.
Creating Your Perfect Mallorca Itinerary
Our five-day Mallorca adventure was the perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and indulgence. We learned that taking things slow and enjoying the island’s beauty at our own pace was the best way to soak in the experience. With a little planning and flexibility, you too can create an unforgettable, fashionable Mallorca getaway.
