“This place is essentially a boutique bed and breakfast hidden inside massive, overgrown Moorish gardens. It's packed with vintage furniture and feels like staying at the private estate of an eccentric Mallorcan friend. A brilliant, quiet antidote to the island's massive all-inclusive blocks.”

“If you're going to do the Tramuntana mountains properly, this is the splurge. Composed of restored 19th-century stone houses, the terraces look straight out over the famous monastery. It’s ridiculously photogenic and genuinely peaceful, a proper sanctuary when the midday crowds hit the village.”

“A 16th-century olive farm tucked high up in the hills. Getting here involves navigating some seriously narrow lanes, but the payoff is absolute silence and views that make the coastal resorts look entirely irrelevant. It's family-run, rustic, and exactly what a mountain escape should be.”

“Right in the middle of the winding streets, but cleverly designed by a local architect so it doesn't feel cramped. It’s a beautifully restored townhouse with a great honesty bar and killer views over the valley. Perfect if you want to be stumbling distance from the historic centre.”

“Tucked away in one of those incredibly narrow, flower-pot-lined streets I talked about in the video. It’s got that classic green-shuttered charm and a lovely little terrace for breakfast. It's a solid, unpretentious base if you want to experience the village properly after the tour buses have all gone back to Palma.”
