bohemian retreats to the first all-inclusive—groovy, colorful Mallorca has always had something for all.
Mallorca (or Majorca) is the largest of the Balearic Islands, and a classic among European travel destinations. Mallorca is known as an easy-to-reach destination for fans of sunny beaches, amazing landscapes, wonderful mountains and affordable Mediterranean food, with a coastline of more than 550 km.
The main (and only) airport serving the island is PMI Palma de Mallorca Airport. It is well set up to handle all traffic during high season.
Flying Private: There are several FBO options available. Assistance is offered upon request for current clients.

Deià
Size: 71 rooms, suites and Villas
Constructed of local stone and hidden among the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana – just a short distance from the Mediterranean – La Residencia is one of the island’s crown jewels. You’ll feel like family when you make yourself at home in your traditionally decorated bedroom or in the eclectic Designer Suite by Matthew Williamson. The hotel also has 30 acres of olive groves and produces its own olive oil. Be sure to visit the spa and to admire the original Miró paintings on display at Café Miró. Younger guests can enjoy a delightful Mallorcan adventure at the supervised children’s club.

Son Coll
Size: 13 rooms and suites / 3 Villas
The recent addition of the hotel allows for more guests to enjoy this fabulous location.
Richard Branson’s latest dreamscape, Son Bunyola, is worth the splurge. Three spacious, traditional Balearic villas (one has five bedrooms, the others four) lie sprawled across 680 acres on Mallorca’s northwest coast. Each has its own heated pool, sleek kitchen, and courtyard with dining area, although Son Balagueret – housing a bedroom in the original 13th-century turret – has its own magic. The lush estate includes vineyards, olive groves, and citrus orchards; you can walk to the beach, hike and bike on miles of mountain trails, or play some of the island’s almost two dozen golf courses.

There’s also an all-day bar and two restaurants, including Mar&Diux, serving authentic Mallorcan haute cuisine. Don’t miss the beef tenderloin smothered with foie gras and truffle sauce.

Cala Blava, just south of the PMI Airport
Size: 30 rooms and suites
A superb refurbishment of an impressive 19th-century fortress has resulted in a captivating and singular, adults-only boutique hotel overlooking the Bay of Palma. Set in 88 acres and stretching along the coastline for two kilometres, Cap Rocat Mallorca is a spectacular hotel providing a collection of stunning rooms and suites, a selection of magical dining venues, private rock cliff beach with direct access to the sea, jetty and salt water pool.
Both the architecture and setting of Cap Rocat is sensational. Wonderfully secluded with a drawbridge, bunkers and suites in former shooting buttresses, the atmosphere is both historic and romantic. Decorated with a clever blend of contemporary and classic furnishings, suites have their own private patio with beautiful sea views.

Uncovering Mallorca’s Unspoiled Coastlines, Storied Art Enclaves, and Many Eccentric Personalities
No historical plaque marks the spot known as Platja des Franceses, or Frenchman’s Beach, on the Spanish island of Mallorca. In fact, as I turned off a back road in the warm haze of a late summer’s afternoon, there was little to distinguish it from other parts of Alcúdia Bay, a roughly eight-and-a-half-mile-long arc of soft sand and gently lapping crystal-clear waters. Like most corners of the Mediterranean in July, it was a genial hubbub of families playing, lovers smooching, and sun worshippers lazing. But I recognized the location, framed by a shady grove of pine trees with a headland in the distance, from murky black-and-white holiday photographs and a flickering Super 8 movie I’d watched on YouTube.
