Mallorca

Mallorca, the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands, is renowned for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and picturesque coastal villages. The island's capital, Palma, boasts a rich history with landmarks like the Gothic-style La Seu Cathedral and the impressive Almudaina Palace. Mallorca's diverse landscape ranges from the rugged Tramuntana mountains, ideal for hiking and cycling, to serene olive groves and charming vineyards. The island also offers a vibrant cultural scene, with festivals, art galleries, and a thriving culinary tradition featuring fresh seafood and local produce. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural enrichment, Mallorca provides a perfect Mediterranean escape.

For those seeking quieter, less touristy beaches in Mallorca, the northeast coast and southeast coast offer some of the best options.

  • Cala Torta: Located on the northeast coast, Cala Torta is a beautiful, unspoiled beach surrounded by rugged hills. It’s a bit off the beaten path, making it less crowded even in the summer.

  • Cala s’Almunia and Cala des Moro: On the southeast coast near the village of Santanyí, these two small coves are stunning and relatively secluded. Cala des Moro, in particular, is known for its turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, and while it requires a bit of a hike to reach, the effort is well worth it.

The best area for cycling in Mallorca is the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, located on the island's northwest coast. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers some of the most scenic and challenging cycling routes in Europe, making it a favorite among both amateur and professional cyclists.

  • Sa Calobra (Coll dels Reis): One of the most famous and challenging climbs on the island, this route features a dramatic 26 hairpin bends over 10 kilometers, offering breathtaking views and a rewarding descent.

  • Cap de Formentor: Starting from Port de Pollença, this route takes you to the northernmost point of the island. It’s a picturesque ride with panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the rugged coastline.

  • Puig Major: The highest peak in Mallorca, this climb is a must for serious cyclists. The route from Sóller to the summit is challenging but offers stunning views of the island's interior and coastline.

These routes in the Serra de Tramuntana provide diverse terrain, spectacular scenery, and a true test of cycling endurance.

Staying at the Starry Domes isn't just a night's rest; it's an elegant invitation to the best luxury hotel stargazing experience. The enchantment of the night leaves an unforgettable impression, making this celestial retreat a perfect choice for those seeking a simple yet luxurious desert escape.
