Majorca Tops Condé Nast Awards 2025 – Discover why everyone’s talking

Majorca’s star is rising higher than ever. Fresh from dominating the Condé Nast Traveller Awards 2025, this Mediterranean gem is officially one of the world’s most desirable destinations. Long loved for its sun-drenched beaches, authentic culture and timeless charm, Majorca has now earned its place among the global elite of luxury travel.

From historic fincas reimagined with contemporary design to secluded villas where personalised service meets pure luxury, Majorca offers understated elegance without excess, the very definition of modern Mediterranean living.

This month, our Majorcan expert Alison shares her favourite island escapes, from the crystal-clear coves of Cala d’Or to the artistic hideaways of Deia.

Cala d’Or - Coastal charm with endless appeal

Our most popular destination for a reason. Cala d’Or is a paradise of golden, sandy coves and turquoise waters, framed by a stylish marina and family-friendly restaurants.

Take a boat trip and jump from the cliffs or simply relax by your private pool as the Mediterranean sparkles nearby. With cove-hugging villas, watersports and charming cobbled streets and white-washed buildings to explore, it’s no surprise our guests return year after year.

Alison says “Don’t miss the magical boat ride through the illuminated Caves of Drach, with a classical concert and mirrored lakes. An unforgettable experience.”

Palma and South-West Majorca - Culture meets coastline

For a cosmopolitan twist on island life, head to Palma, recently named one of Lonely Planet’s “Best in Travel 2025” destinations.

Between its magnificent cathedral, world-class dining and designer shopping, Palma blends city buzz with seaside bliss. Enjoy sunset cocktails by the marina or lose yourself in the old town’s winding lanes.

Alison’s top tip? “A visit the legendary Bar Abaco on Friday night. Hidden behind towering wooden doors, this 17th-century mansion turns into a sensory spectacle at midnight when rose petals rain from the ceiling to the sound of Also Sprach Zarathustra.”

Soller, Port de Soller and Deia - The soul of the Serra de Tramuntana

Nestled among citrus groves and dramatic mountains, this region is a dream for artists, hikers and romantics alike. Stroll the charming streets of Soller, take the vintage wooden train to the port, or dine cliffside in Deia’s iconic Ca’s Patro March, as seen in The Night Manager.

Perfect for peace-seekers, nature-lovers and anyone craving Mallorca’s authentic, bohemian side.

Alison’s must-do “Discover the magical, vintage tram from the sea to the mountains, take a step back in time, relax and enjoy the changing landscape of beautiful Majorca."
