East Side / Beaches

The beaches on the East side are unmatched - stunning blue water and incredible views. My recommendation would be to drive up the coast and pull off any time one strikes your fancy. Food/bars all along the coast so you can't go wrong wherever you decide to pull off

Cap Vermell Grand Hotel
@haleysangster
One of the most beautiful properties on the island. If you do not stay here, I recommend making a lunch/dinner reservation and enjoying the property that way. Three restaurants to pick from and all have wonderful views.

Sos Ferres D'En Morey
@haleysangster
Really amazing B&B to stay at if you want to feel the charm of the country-side. Home-made breakfast every morning, beautiful swimming pool, and homey feel. You will need a car to stay here

Pollença
@haleysangster
We stay close to this town while on Mallorca - full of charm, tiny cobblestone streets, restaurants/bars, and 10 minutes from the ocean. My recommendation is to walk the streets and find a restaurant that speaks to you.

West Side Hotels

The west side of the island is becoming known for "quiet luxury" and many hotels are opening that offer beautiful views & off the beaten path experiences. If you do not stay in one of these, I do recommend going for lunch or dinner - especially at the Belmond!

West Side

The west side is made up of three iconic towns - Soller, Deia, and Valldemossa. My recommendation would be to either stay 2-3 nights here to explore the whole coast, or spend a day driving from town to town and stop for a meal or drink in each

Sóller
@haleysangster
You can find entire blogs dedicated to Soller - it is a mountain town with an impressive cathedral and winding cobblestone streets. We stayed here for two nights and that was plenty to see everything the town had to offer. Many restaurants & hotels if you end up spending time here

Valldemossa
@haleysangster
Another tucked away town on the winding mountain rode with views of brick buildings stacked into the hills. Another place with difficult parking but worth at least a drive through

Deià
@haleysangster
Stunning town situated in the middle of the mountain with impressive ocean views. Very difficult to find parking, as a heads up but worth the hassle to experience the adorable town. Many Michelen star restaurants to pick from along with family-owned more casual joints.

Restaurants scattered along the coast - my advice would be to decide where you want to spend time then look up the restaurants that are close to there.
