THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MALLORCA
GETTING AROUND
It’s pretty much crucial to hire a car if you’re hoping to travel around the island. There is so much to see and so much variety from north to south, that’s why we decided to hire one and we’re so glad we did. We rented ours with Top Gear Mobility, they’re located only a 5 minute drive from the airport terminal and a free shuttle service is provided to ferry you to and from. The guys here are great and the collection and drop off is very speedy. If you’re planning a trip and thinking of hiring a car we have a discount code available for you - GET 10% OFF HERE.
WHERE TO STAY
Hotel Bonsol - Celebrating their 70th year this year, this hotel is a culmination of history fused with modern day amenities. The stunning resort has one of the most sought after locations with their own private cove. The family-built, family-run hotel is wonderful, we would go back in heartbeat. It’s simply a must in Mallorca.
Viva Sunrise Hotel - Having recently undergone a major renovation, this hotel in the north of the island is the ideal stay if you’re visiting the island with kids.
Portomar Apartments - An ultra modern apart-hotel thats decor resembles a boho, Bali esk retreat. Ideally located only a stones through from Cala D’or and the stunning harbour of Portocolom, we couldn’t recommend these apartments enough.
Steigenberger Golf & Spa Resort Camp de Mar - If you interested in golfing in Mallorca then this hotel is for you. Not only does it house one of the best golf courses it has a beautiful spa, exceptional dining and is within walking distance of the stunning Camp de Mar beach where the famous Illetas restaurants on the rock is found.
