Mallorca

Mallorca blends the best of the Mediterranean: a mountain range that plunges straight into sapphire water, centuries-old stone villages, a capital full of galleries and gastro-bars, and a hotel scene that prizes refined design over glitz.

Add superyacht-ready marinas, discreet countryside fincas and a fine-dining landscape that now holds several tasting-menu destinations, and you have an island that rewards first-timers and returning connoisseurs equally.
