Mallorca Beyond the Clichés: Design, Light and Favourite Coves

Mallorca has left its mass-tourism image behind. Those who travel to the northwest of the island today find design hotels in historic town palaces, kilometres of hiking trails through the Tramuntana and coves you almost have to yourself.

Hotels like Bikini Island & Mountain Hotel in Port de Sóller prove that island living is best when it is slow. Wake up early, climb the mountain, dine at the harbour in the evening.

This is the Mallorca that endures. Not the party Mallorca, but the more honest one that has to be discovered. Those who find it come back every year.
