Curator’s statement
I’ll start with this: I love Spain. It’s one of those places I go back to over and over because it just works. The energy, the food, the pace of life. It’s social without being overwhelming, beautiful without feeling overproduced, and consistently delivers. Mallorca is a perfect extension of that. You get beach clubs, boat days, great dinners, and just enough going on without it turning into a full production. The water is incredible, the people are genuinely nice, and the food is consistently good. Compared to many European summer destinations, Mallorca is less overrun, more relaxed, and easier to navigate without sacrificing any of the highlights.

Things to do in Mallorca, Spain
Beach Club Gran Folies
Take a boat day from Port d’Andratx: Boat days are always at the top of my list. If you do one thing in Mallorca, make it this. Rent a boat or hire a skipper and spend the day along the coast. You’ll swim in clear water, stop in hidden coves, and quickly understand why people keep coming back.
Go wine tasting: Mallorca has a strong wine scene that people don’t always expect. Head inland for a vineyard experience. It’s a slower, more relaxed way to spend an afternoon. Finca Serena is a great place to do this.
Visit a beach club: Set aside a full day for this. Book a bed, order lunch, and stay awhile. I did a lot of research on which beach club to visit and landed on Beach Club Gran Folies. It’s a beautiful setting with great energy and good food.
Spend time in Palma: Some people say Palma isn’t worth visiting; I strongly disagree. It’s a stunning, vibrant city. Walk the old town, visit the Cathedral, stop for coffee or wine, shop ‘till you drop, and explore at your own pace.

Places to eat & drink in Mallorca, Spain
La Rosa Vermutería and El Camino (Palma): Great casual tapas spots with a lively atmosphere. Book in advance. Pan con tomate and gambas al ajillo? Yes please!
Sea Club (Cap Rocat): My GOD. Sea Club felt like IYKYK… incredible setting, great seafood, and a good wine list. Perfect for a sunset dinner… even better for amazing lighting, LOL. Reserve ahead.
Ca’s Patro March (Deià): One of the most famous restaurants in Mallorca for a reason. Lunch only, right on the water, simple seafood, amazing views. Plan ahead.
El Olivo (La Residencia): If you’ve seen reels about Mallorca, chances are El Olivo has been in them. A more formal dinner, but worth it for the picturesque setting. Ideal for a special night.
Bar Abaco (Palma): A fun stop for drinks in Palma. Slightly over-the-top in a good way.
Mistral Coffee (Palma): Fighting jet-lag? Head to Mistral for a delicious pick-me-up.
Need to know
Hot tip: Rent a car. Mallorca is a large island and everything is spread out. Trust me, you don’t want to have to rely on a taxi to get around...
