16/02/2022If we had to describe it in a single word, we would undoubtedly choose "diversity." Because Mallorca, the largest island in Spain, has it all: countless beaches and coves, incredible nature, unique gastronomy, history and culture, and a wide range of leisure activities to suit all tastes.
If you're thinking about traveling to the largest of the Balearic Islands with family, friends, or just a solo getaway, but you haven't decided yet, keep reading, because we'll give you the reasons you need to make up your mind and enjoy your next holiday in the Mediterranean.
Mallorca is the perfect destination for lovers of idyllic coves and beaches with white sand, crystal-clear waters, and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. This, combined with the mild Mediterranean climate, makes for the perfect combination for a truly relaxing holiday in harmony with nature. Among the coves you absolutely mustn't miss is Cala Varques , nestled in an incredible natural setting surrounded by pine forests. One of the most important beaches is Cala Millor , on the east side of the island, stretching for almost two kilometers, with a promenade ideal for long walks at the end of the day. Any of our three hotels in this area (R2 Bahía Cala Ratjada, R2 Verónica Beach, and R2 Cala Millor Beach) will be the perfect finishing touch to a perfect holiday. Don't forget to visit Cala Deià , hidden among forests and cliffs, and Cala Formentor, spectacular for the color of its water.
Besides its coves, Mallorca is known for its diverse mountain landscapes and cliffs. One of these must-see spots is the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Be mesmerized by the breathtaking views. Another essential stop on your visit to Mallorca is the Mondragó Natural Park, located in the municipality of Santanyí. This blend of pine forests and cliffs is one of the island's most popular destinations. Another absolute must is a visit to some of Mallorca's most beautiful villages, such as Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller, and Fornalutx. Finally, don't miss the Cave of Drach, one of the island's greatest attractions.
Mallorca is also a great city destination. In the capital, daily life blends seamlessly with the local culture and cuisine, offering visitors a truly complete holiday. The historic center is home to most of the must-see monuments, which can be explored during a pleasant stroll. The Plaza Mayor, the Church of Sant Miquel, the Cathedral of Palma (also known as the Cathedral of Light), and, of course, the Cathedral of the Sea (Cathedral del Mar), are just some of the monuments you can admire during the day while enjoying Mallorcan gastronomy. One essential specialty is sobrasada, a delicious sausage famous internationally, prepared here like nowhere else. You also can't miss Tumbet, a traditional dish made with seasonal vegetables from Mallorca's gardens, a true delight for the senses whether enjoyed as a side dish or on its own. If you're someone who saves room for dessert, don't forget to try ensaimadas and cocas, the star of Mallorcan pastry.
These are just some of the most important reasons that will make you decide to travel here this spring and summer. We've highlighted the most important ones, but they're not the only ones. We hope we've helped you make your decision, and we'll see you in Mallorca!
