🐚 MALLORCA
If you only read one thing for your first trip to Mallorca, this will have you covered.

GENERAL
Rent a car at the airport!
To make the most of your trip to Mallorca, it makes sense to stay in a few different areas on the island.
If you’re looking for a relaxing “beach vacation”, you probably don’t want to spend much time in Palma.
Do not miss Deià.
Mallorca is easy to combine with a trip to Ibiza. You can get there via ferry (~3 hours) or a short flight (30 mins). For tips, see my guide below.
WEST OF THE ISLAND
Villages
Cala Deià + Ca’s Patro March - go to the beach here during the day and make a reservation ahead of time at the restaurant for late lunch.
There’s a parking lot at the bottom of the long hill (don’t leave your car in the lots at the top before the gate – the walk is long)
Soller
Cute village to walk around in with many shops

Dinner
Lunch
EAST OF THE ISLAND
Stay
Fontsanta Hotel Thermal Spa & Wellness - could not recommend this hotel more for a true retreat
Eat
OCRE Restaurant & Bar @ Hotel Can Ferrereta - a great dinner & beautiful courtyard
Bodega Barahona [Casa Manolo] - Casual dinner, local vibe
Other
Cap Rocat - most beautiful hotel on the island. A nice place to come for lunch.
Beaches
El Trenc Beach - The Fontsanta offers free drop offs to this beach (10 min drive)
PALMA
Stay
Hotel Saratoga: easy + reasonable price. You won’t spend any time in your hotel in Palma so just look for a good location + the best deal
Eat
Breakfast
Rosevelvet Bakery
Surry Hills Coffee
Dinner
Botanic Restaurant – Beautiful restaurant/ bar in town
Shopping
Arquinesia Perfumes - beautiful perfume store; amazing products but also just a cool store design
House of Kimåne - Handmade wardrobe staples by a mother and daughter duo
To Do
Rent a boat for a day – info@ricoboats.com
Joan Miró Fundacio
Beach Clubs (think Nikki Beach)
Staying in Soller the whole time with a car to explore, do you have someone you trust for a day trip boat rental?
Thank you so much!! I have my trip as
2 days Palma
2 days deia
2 days Soller
Do you think that’s good? Could I do 4 days in Soller or deia and get to both to explore or do you think it’s better to switch and go to a new place time wise?
