Perhaps you still associate Mallorca with its handful of crowded resorts. Allow us to introduce you to the other face of one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful islands. In the north and west is scenery to rival anywhere in the world, with spectacular mountains sweeping down to hidden sandy coves and impossibly pure turquoise blue sea. Artists and writers have sought inspiration for centuries in the ancient honey-coloured villages such as Valldemossa, Deia and Puigpunyent which remain completely unspoilt today. The stylish city of Palma – with its magnificent harbour, fine cathedral, delightful old quarter, shaded avenues lined with palm trees and colourful marinas – is reason alone to come. We highly recommend a twin-centre holiday combining a few days in the island’s capital with a stay in of our beautiful properties in the UNESCO protected Tramuntana Mountains; call our reservations team on 020 7593 1899 for first-hand advice and recommendations.

We recently discovered the charming Bon Sol located just five miles from Palma. It is a family-run hotel on its own small sandy cove and surrounded by extensive gardens of palms, aloe, ficus, olive trees, oleanders and aromatic Mediterranean flowers.
The renowned architect firm Wingårdhs has transformed a 16th-century soap factory into a stylish blend of traditional features and modern, Scandinavian design, so synonymous with the Nobis Hotel Group. Perfectly situated where the Old Town meets Santa Catalina, this small and incredibly stylish boutique property is ideally located for exploring Palma’s iconic monuments.
In the heart of Palma’s charming old town, this is the perfect destination for a city break at any time of year. The whitewashed building surrounds a traditional Mallorquin patio, with 37 compact but stylish rooms designed in a light, contemporary style.
A member of Leading Hotels of the World, this award-winning hotel is a welcome new addition to the city hotel scene. Located in downtown Palma with sweeping views of the bay from the stylish rooftop terrace with its pool, bar and restaurant.
Located in downtown Palma within walking distance of the Cathedral, shops and the city’s beach, the Santa Clara’s 20 rooms are modern in design, providing a contrast to the original stone walls. There is a delightful rooftop terrace with views of the Cathedral and the Convent of Santa Clara.
Sir Richard Branson’s newest hotel marks his return to the island after many years. The hotel has just 26 rooms and sits within a sprawling 1,300-acre estate. There are two restaurants and a spa with treatment rooms as well as a large terrace with heated infinity pool and hot tub.
This 18th century palace in the beguiling old town of Palma offers just 13 luxurious suites, revealed beyond a spectacular vaulted lobby. Original features and antique furniture have been skilfully complemented by modern artworks, Murano chandeliers and sleek soft furnishings, overseen by celebrated interior designer Aline Matsika.
This historic 18th century castle is reached by a palm-lined promenade surrounded by manicured gardens and the natural beauty of the Tramuntana mountains. The 38 traditional rooms in the restored stone castle are warmly decorated and some feature private balconies.
This first-class property is located on the northern coast of Mallorca at the beautiful bay of Cala Sant Vicenc, just a few miles from Formentor and Pollensa. The 38 traditionally furnished bedrooms look out onto pine trees, the gardens or the quiet side road.
In the heart of the Tramuntana Mountains is the artists’ village of Deia, just
a mile from the coast and surrounded by olive groves. Here you will find
one of our favourite hotels, formed from two historic manor houses into a
wonderful haven of simple, understated elegance.
Heading north from Palma, visitors immediately see the foothills of the island’s dramatic Tramontana Mountains rising ahead. Passing through rural villages and tranquil valleys, the road reaches a high mountain pass, from which we are rewarded with spectacular views of the rugged coastline spreading in both directions.
