Looking for a unique Honeymoon spot??
I just received some information about a hot new spot in Spain… Check it out!
Mallorca, Spain
A 45-minute flight south of Barcelona, Mallorca (also spelled Majorca) is the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands. Although you can drive around the island in 3 - 4 hours, it is incredibly diverse, offering the best of Spain in one small place. Mallorca is perfect for 4 - 5 days of relaxation at the beginning of a longer trip, but is also suitable for a week or two on its own.
Setting: The stunning Serra de Tramuntana rises from the ocean to a series of gorgeous peaks in the west, while the center of the island is more pastoral, featuring rolling hills, pretty farms, and a variety of towns with plenty of old-world charm. The east offers many seaside coves, inlets and fishing villages. The south is home to some of the best and most perennially popular beaches. Around the island expect lovely and dramatic coastal scenery.
Activities: Experience urban attractions in the capital of Palma, with museums, historical sights, trendy restaurants, and hot nightlife. Sailing is another pastime – stroll past the super-yachts in the main marina, or charter one for a day. Art lovers enjoy Deià, a charming town in the northwest, with local galleries and artists at work. Foodies will appreciate Mallorca’s many restaurants, and its focus on locally grown ingredients. Visit a vineyard, catch some rays at one of the many beaches, go for an extended bike ride, hike in a nature preserve. Try sea kayaking, golf, or tennis – after all, this is the home of Rafael Nadal!
Lodging: Mallorca offers a wide range, including inns, cliff-side boutique hotels, chic design hotels, hill-side villas, large golf resorts and many, many beach resorts and hotels. In general, however, the top caliber hotels tend to be located off the beach.
Logistics: From the US, it’s easy to fly to Madrid, Barcelona, London or Frankfurt, and then take a short connecting flight. Once on Mallorca, a rental car is recommended given the relative lack of public transportation.
When: Mallorca is at its best in the summer, with warm temperatures and sunny skies, although July and August are considered high season when the island can get crowded. May, June and September are ideal with fewer visitors and pleasant weather.
