This recently opened museum is situated in a restored private town house (Can Prunera) built in the early days of the 1900. The house is in itself worth a visit, with its stunning Art Nouveau architecture and superbly detailed interior finish. A substantial portfolio of works by Sollerophile artists, including (of course) Miro and Picasso puts this museum at the centre of any cultural visit to Soller.

Set high up in the Tramuntana Mountains above the steep coastline is the hill village of Deia, well worth a visit just for the scenic drive into the mountains. The beauty and seclusion of the village has long attracted many artists, writers and musicians, one of the most well known being Robert Graves who lived in Deia for many years and is buried there. It is now one of the chicest places on the island.

A stroll around the gardens will let you discover the wide array of Mallorquin flora. This is not only a display for visitors; the organisation is also a conservation and research centre. The Gardens are closely linked to The Balearic Museum of Natural Science.

Just over the tunnel on the way to Palma, this large country house and gardens are open to the public in season. The complex pre-dates the Spanish conquest of Mallorca, but the house itself has been rebuilt over the centuries and has lost much of its Moorish appearance. Nevertheless it makes a pleasant stopover on the way to or from Plama.

What would we do without Cappucino’s in Mallorca?
And thankfully there is one located in the village of Valldemossa. Great coffee, drinks, light lunches and snacks.

A very romantic and relaxing hotel with extremely friendly and accommodating staff.

Perched on top of the hill in Valldemossa, this has to be one of the most perfectly located hotels on the island with panoramic views over the surrounding mountains and valley. The hotel is part of the Relais & Chateaux Group, that specializes in renovating and restoring mansions and chateaux, and offers a personalized service, striving to treat customers as private guests rather than clients.

A typical Mallorquin family restaurant with great views. Serving a good selection of traditional local dishes in a convivial atmosphere.
Large servings, reasonable prices and great ambience.
