Luxury Holidays to Majorca

Majorca is the diamond in the Mediterranean's crown

At just two and a half hours’ direct flight from UK airports, Majorca’s secret hotspots of elegance and sophistication are closer than you might think.

Michael Douglas, Claudia Schiffer and Andrew Lloyd Webber are among the big names to have fallen in love with Majorca enough to buy villas on the island. A glimpse at the scenery and the exclusivity it offers is all it takes to feel likewise. Those in the know can deftly sidestep Majorca’s mainstream tourist crowds to enjoy pristine beaches, stylish restaurants and historic buildings as storied as any of Europe’s finest.

Living the high life in Majorca

However you’re looking to splash out and treat yourself, Majorca is ready to serve. Designer stores tucked amid the souvenir boutiques of beachfront towns Cala Millor and Cala d’Or show that Majorca has a flair for high fashion easily competing with their friends in Italy across the Med.

The natural beauty of Sa Coma, with its secret caves and crescent-shaped bay, is a superb preamble to the exclusivity of dining at Bou, the town’s high profile restaurant, whose experimental flavours are woven into form by Tomeu Caldentey. Meanwhile, Playa de Palma is a mainstream tourism hub that’s still got plenty to offer to upmarket guests thanks to nearby elegant El Molinar. And of course, Alcudia is a must for culture seekers, thanks to its Roman relics and the 14th-century walls that cradle the town.
