Mallorca is known for its beautiful coastline, secluded coves, limestone mountains, Spanish architecture, wineries and fresh produce farms and stunning beaches. My 14 year old daughter Hadley and I spent 4 nights exploring the breezy Balearic island. Below, I share some of the highlights, and no, she did not drink my Rose.

MAPPS TIP: We LOVE combining Mallorca with the buzzy island of Ibiza and/or London. Don’t miss: a hike up to the incredible lunch spot Sa Foradada and a boat day with a lunch stop and swim at Ca’s Patro March.

We cannot help but gush over Mallorca, the crown jewel of Spain's Balearic Islands summer after summer. Known for it’s 340 miles of sun-kissed beaches and a very famous resident, Mr. Michael Douglas… the island exudes charm at every turn you take with the cutest cobblestone alleyways, beach shack restaurants and the most fragrant orange and lemon trees. While it is not known for being a party island like it’s sister Ibiza, once the sun sets, the island stays vibrant as it offers travelers incredible dining options and wine bars. Below, we share some bits of our client’s summer itineraries….

Mapps Tip: Europe Summer 2022 is booking up fast. We are already seeing limited availability for June and July. Email info@mappstravel.com to start planning.
