Complete with stunning beaches, Mediterranean food and quaint Spanish architecture, it’s no wonder Mallorca remains a prime holiday destination year on year. With its slower pace, the OB Travel team love it as a home away from home and are excited to launch their latest portfolio of villas on the island, including luxurious retreats amid the coastline to estates complete with sprawling vineyards.
But, before you discover what they have to offer, our experts have put together their guide to Mallorca to help you in designing your best getaway yet.
Where to visit
The capital of the island and known as latest hotspot in Spain, Palma de Mallorca must be on your next-to-visit list (if you haven’t done already). Full to the brim with history, including its iconic cathedral, and complemented with modern galleries and an ever-growing list of hip restaurants, it’s easy to see why this characterful old town is attracting a chic and cosmopolitan crowd. Come for a day spent at its beautiful beaches and stay for rooftop drinks in the centre.
Where to eat
With family at the heart of a true Mallorcan holiday, our pick of restaurants had to include a sharing-style concept – think long tables, a menu of heart-warming dishes and breathtaking sights over the harbour of Port de Sóller to boot. NENI, on bikini island, provides all of that and more with à la carte eats inspired by an eclectic mix of recipes and flavours from around the world.
Where to shop
For both locals and tourists alike, Paseo del Borne is where best to do your holiday shopping. On tree-lined streets sits the likes of Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari and Hugo Boss, plus an array of bars and restaurants to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. Or, if its food shopping that’s more your game, fresh food markets including Santa Catalina and Mercat de l’Olivar are sure to impress your taste buds, ranking as our best spots to find authentic tapas.
Where to stay
Fully staffed and with all the amenities of a luxury hotel, Spirit of Son Fuster boasts a 40 hectare black truffle estate and incredible views of the twin peaks. The kitchen lies at the heart of the manor house with an international chef on site to prepare meals using organic vegetables, fruit and olive oil from the estate’s farm. Days can be spent soaking up the sun by heated swimming pool, or enjoying a steam bath or infrared sauna in the dedicated spa area. Not the villa for you?
