Spanish island life
With glorious sunshine, soft golden sands and a feast of local culinary delights, Mallorca has all the magic ingredients for a delicious Spanish retreat. Here, you can party with the glitterati who flock to the island’s upmarket haunts, or enjoy barefoot luxury in total seclusion at a luxurious fully staffed home-from-home with private chefs and professional masseuses, golf and yoga instructors flown in.
Mallorca is also home to some seriously stunning and exclusive beach clubs, including Beach Club Gran Folies at Cala Llamp, Mhares Sea Club near Llucmajor south of Palma, and UM Beach House in the glitzy enclave of Puerto Portals, where you can chill out on big Balinese beds, sink cocktails and rub sun-kissed shoulders with fashionistas and entrepreneurs.
When you’re ready to take a tour, the island offers a tantalising mix of majestic natural wonders — the Tramuntana mountain range is an UNESCO World Heritage site —buzzing towns and charming villages both inland and along the coastline.
Palma, the capital, is an elegant hotspot for culture lovers, foodies and shopping addicts, while the exclusive resort of Port d’Andratx in the southwest of Mallorca is one of the most picturesque harbours in the Mediterranean — it’s still a fishing port but also home to a stylish marina brimming with yachts. Deià on the northwest edge of the island and widely considered Mallorca’s most beautiful village, is a unique enclave of culture, gastronomy, and scenic beauty. It’s long been a magnet for artists and writers and where the stars go to get away from it all. Nearby Valldemossa, a charming historic town set in a valley of the Tramuntana mountains, is another gem to visit, whether you’re in the mood to go hiking, to stroll around the Frédéric Chopin and George Sand Museum or taste the famous local ice cream.

Local delicacies
Eager to eat like a local? Sampling some of the island’s traditional fayre and speciality dishes is one of the greatest joys of a luxury villa holiday in Mallorca.

Another staple of Mallorcan cuisine is pa amb oli, a simple yet delicious dish consisting of rustic bread drizzled with olive oil and topped with tomatoes, cured meats, cheese, or fish. This traditional snack highlights the island’s abundant olive oil production and fresh Mediterranean ingredients.
Seafood plays a prominent role in Mallorcan cuisine with a bumper catch of delicious dishes to savour, but be sure to taste caldereta de langosta — a rich lobster stew, simmered with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and aromatic herbs. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ll love the traditional Mallorcan pastries including the ensaimada, a spiral-shaped pastry filled with cream, pumpkin jam, or almond nougat and dusted with powdered sugar.
