YOURS & OURS: Josephine's Mallorca

Mallorca is a very special place for me. I've been coming here for more than ten years, and five years ago, my husband and I got married here. Since then, the island has become somewhere we return to again and again, a place filled with memories and new traditions.

What I love most about Mallorca is its effortless way of life. The beautiful landscapes, charming little towns, long lunches in the sun, and the simple pleasure of spending time together as a family. There's something about being here that makes everything feel a little slower, in the best possible way.

Over the years, I've discovered a few places that I always look forward to revisiting. From beautiful hideaways to favourite spots for lunch and ice cream, these are some of the places that make Mallorca feel so special to me.

CASA NANA

One of my favourite places to stay with my family is Casa Nana, an amazing rental house where every little detail has been thoughtfully considered.

I love places that make you feel immediately at home, and Casa Nana has that special quality. Everything feels carefully put together, creating a beautiful setting for spending time together and enjoying the slower rhythm of island life.

CAMPO RESTAURANT

Close to Casa Nana, you'll find Campo, one of my favourite places for a long lunch.

The terrace is lovely, and it's exactly the kind of place where you can easily spend a few hours enjoying good food and conversation. The salads are amazing, and the dessert menu is filled with delicious chocolatey options, which is always a good reason to stay a little longer.

MR. MCCOY'S

For me, no trip to Mallorca is complete without a stop for ice cream, and Mr. McCoy's is one of the best places to find it.

They make the most interesting flavours, like white coffee, cardamom, and orange. I love discovering combinations that are a little unexpected, and this is such a lovely treat to enjoy while exploring the island.

HOTEL CORAZON

Hotel Corazon is a beautiful hotel and restaurant nestled in the Tramuntana Mountains, with one of the most stunning terraces.

The setting is really something special. Surrounded by the mountains, it's a wonderful place to sit back, take in the landscape, and enjoy the atmosphere.

It's one of those places where the surroundings become just as memorable as the experience itself.

I think what makes Mallorca so special to me is the combination of beautiful places and the memories we've made here over the years.

From the little everyday rituals to the places we return to as a family, the island has become a part of our story. And even after more than ten years, there's always something that makes me fall in love with it all over again.

With Love,
