I spent the week in Mallorca with friends exploring the island and everything it has to offer for a getaway! I had been to Palma for a weekend break a few years ago and totally fell in love with it so was desperate to go back and see the rest if the island and what all the hype is about and it definitely lived up to expectations! Read on for all my recommendations!
Where to stay
As I said we spent the week moving around so stayed in some beautiful hotels including Nema in Arta which was a newly opened small boutique property (which I will do a separate review on soon!) and Honucai in Colonia Saint Jordi.
In Palma we stayed at the HM Palma Blanc which was a great location to be able to easily explore the city with a gorgeous rooftop pool!
I would definitely recommend hiring a car for the week so you can see lots of places - or if you are shorter on time and locating yourself in Palma for a long weekend you could hire a car for the day to do some beach and Cala hopping!
If you are going for a special occasion I would recommend Sant Francesc Hotel Singular in Palma and Finca Serena in the countryside (both beautiful Mr and Mrs Smith hotels) or go for a couple of drinks!
