Mallorca's most beautiful villages
Mallorca is a type of paradise capable of satisfying everyone: lovers of the sea, the mountains, luxury, the mundane, the blue and the green, dry land, the coastline, cycling, gastronomy and the postcards that lurk behind every corner, every hill or every blue cove.
Mallorca is an island with beauty in each and every one of its regions: Palma, Serra de Tramuntana, Raiguer, Pla de Mallorca, Migjorn and the East of the island.
Six different areas, but with one thing in common: Mallorcan charm.
To choose among the most beautiful villages on the island is sort of unfair. Villages, traditions, customs and corners that make Mallorca look like paradise.
The Tramuntana mountain range... Valldemossa.
Choosing a single village in the Serra de Tramuntana is like deciding if you love your father or your mother more. But among all of them, with a majestic and peaceful beauty, Valldemossa stands out, the town that Chopin and George Sand chose to rest and heal.
Its steep streets, its flowerpots on the windows and its stone façades, La Cartuja and the red sunsets, the village life and the smell of the sea make Valldemossa one of the true gems.
A town that changes everyone who decides to visit it.
El Raiguer... Binissalem.
When visiting the centre of the island, it is almost inevitable to think of Binissalem without feeling that our feet sink in thousands of grapes that massage our soles.
Binissalem is a town that, together with an ancient winemaking tradition, is capable of turning grapes and wine into a celebration.
Its wines represent history, tradition and roots. And, without a doubt, its wineries have become a must-see for anyone who wants to discover the best kept secrets of the island.
Pla de Mallorca... Costitx.
Its particular tribute to spring makes Costitx a very special town.
Flowers, colours, flowerpots on the windowsills, plants and a fully spring atmosphere make this inland village a sort of fairy-tale setting.
The first days of May, strolling through Costitx is like strolling through Wonderland. The main streets welcome visitors with a wide range of details and colourful decorations that make it one of the most photographed villages in Mallorca.
Migjorn... Ses Salines.
Its natural beauty, unspoilt, peaceful, seaside and saltiness, make Ses Salines an excellent place to relax, as well as being one of the closest places to "Cap Ses Salines", the southernmost point on the island.
Its closeness to the southern beaches, considered by many to be the best on the island, the gastronomic offer and its historical buildings and local architecture make Ses Salines a town worth discovering.
Eastcoast... Artà.
In the middle of a large valley and at the foot of a small mountain in the northeast of Mallorca, rises a small beauty, Artà. A village filled with history, a village that is born from the combination of heritage, tradition, modernity and nature.
A marine reserve, a natural park or caves are a reflection of history and culture.
Mallorca, as we said at the beginning of this article, is a piece of paradise for everyone.
