The island that grown-ups go back to
Mallorca spent a few decades being unfairly judged by its busiest resorts, and the people who knew better were rather happy to leave it that way. Away from the strip lies one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean: the limestone ridge of the Serra de Tramuntana falling straight into the sea, honey-stone villages that close for lunch, almond orchards, vineyards and a coastline of small turquoise coves that the Mallorcans call calas.
Our Mallorca collection runs to 1,100+ properties. There are restored fincas among olive and carob trees, contemporary villas with infinity pools above the bays of Pollensa and Alcúdia, village houses in Deià and Sóller, and large estates for family gatherings. Nearly all of them have a private pool, and most of them are within an hour of Palma airport, which is one of the great practical joys of the island.
What follows is a guide to the different corners of Mallorca, when to come and what to do once the suitcases are empty. Our concierge team is on hand for everything else.

The north for long sandy bays and easy family days, the Tramuntana for mountain villages and sunsets over the sea, the south east for small coves and a slower pace, and the countryside of the Pla for vineyards and peace.
Long bays, a Roman town and the road to Formentor
The north of the island is the classic choice for a family villa holiday, and with good reason. The bays of Pollensa and Alcúdia are broad, sheltered and shallow, the sand is soft and the water stays calm long after the south coast has turned choppy. Pollensa itself is a handsome old town with a Sunday market and a flight of 365 stone steps up to the Calvari chapel, one for each day of the year and every one of them felt in July.
Alcúdia keeps its medieval walls and the remains of the Roman city of Pollentia, while the Formentor peninsula offers one of the most dramatic drives in the Mediterranean, ending at a lighthouse on the cliffs. Villas here range from contemporary houses with sea views to country fincas in the valleys behind the coast.

Mountain villages above a dark blue sea
The Serra de Tramuntana runs the length of the north-west coast and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised as much for the terraces and stone paths built by centuries of farmers as for the scenery itself. Deià, where the poet Robert Graves made his home, clings to the hillside above a tiny cove. Valldemossa is where Chopin and George Sand spent a famously damp winter in the Carthusian monastery, and the village has been dining out on it ever since.
Sóller sits in a valley of orange groves, reached from Palma by a vintage wooden train that has run since 1912, with an old tram continuing down to the port. Houses here are often stone fincas with terraced gardens and views that make lunch run long. The road to Sa Calobra, all hairpins, is a rite of passage for cyclists and a test of nerve for everybody else.

Small coves, sandy beaches and a quieter pace
The south east is the Mallorca of pine-fringed coves and clear, shallow water. Cala Mondragó sits within a protected natural park, and the long dunes of Es Trenc form one of the few undeveloped beaches left on the island. Santanyí is the area's elegant market town, built in the same golden sandstone as Palma's cathedral, with a Wednesday and Saturday market that is very much the social event of the week.
Villas in this corner tend to be low, wide and set in gardens of olive and almond trees, often a short drive from several beaches so you can choose by the wind. Further north, Felanitx and Artà offer a more rural island, with vineyards, hilltop sanctuaries and very good lunches at very reasonable prices.

A proper city, and an island that rewards the shoulder months
Palma is one of the most enjoyable small cities in Spain: a Gothic cathedral, La Seu, standing right above the sea, a maze of old streets full of courtyard palaces, a serious food market at Santa Catalina and a marina for those who like to look at other people's boats. It is also within half an hour of a great many villas, which makes a day in town an easy pleasure rather than an expedition.
The island is at its best in late spring and early autumn, when the sea is warm and the roads are quiet. February brings the almond blossom, spring brings the cyclists, and the island's own wines, from Binissalem and the Pla, are worth tasting at the source. Our concierge can arrange private chefs, boat days along the coast, cycling guides and tables at the restaurants that matter.
