Tramuntana villas, hidden calas and a yacht to the island's quietest coves.
Tramuntana villas, hidden calas and a yacht to the island's quietest coves. Here is Mallorca, arranged privately — browse it by the occasion you're marking, by what moves you, or by the season that suits you best.
What an advisor can open that an algorithm cannot. Each of these is staged on your terms — the access, the timing, the people.
An estate in the Serra de Tramuntana where the family has pressed oil since 1823 — the harvest, the cold press, a lunch of sobrassada and bread dipped in oil so fresh it burns the throat, the mountains behind the grove.
A chartered tender from Palma before sunrise to one of the island's north-coast calas — white limestone, pine-green water, the beach empty as it is for perhaps ninety minutes each morning. Breakfast on board in the cove.
A crewed sloop leaving the harbour as the cathedral lights come on — the bay opening behind you, a dinner prepared as you sail, an anchorage off a cliff face that no chart marks as a tourist destination.
Not a package — a starting point. Each is a journey we have designed and refined; your advisor reshapes it for the version only you would recognise.
A Tramuntana finca above the sea, a private boat to the north coast's hidden calas, dinner by a chef who trained in Palma's Michelin district and now cooks only for villa guests — the island at its most private.
A crewed vessel from Palma through the north-west calas — Sóller Cove at anchor, the uninhabited Dragonera island at dusk, a table set on deck as the cathedral lights come on in the distance.
A Tramuntana estate engaged exclusively — a chef who sources from the Sóller orange groves and the daily market, a private pool, the mountains behind you and a tender moored below.
The island's quieter north — Sa Calobra by boat before ten, the Formentor lighthouse at the hour the cliff turns gold, an afternoon on a cala that the tourist map does not name.
May, June and September are the finest months, with warm seas, open beach clubs and the Tramuntana mountains at their greenest, without the saturation of August when the island's roads and resorts are at their busiest. Spring also brings the almond blossom in late winter and excellent conditions for cycling and hiking. The season extends comfortably into early October before quieting down.
The southwest around Deia, Valldemossa and Port d'Andratx, set against the Tramuntana, is the most coveted area, prized for its agroturismo estates and cliffside villas. The Pollensa and Alcudia region in the north offers quieter beaches and rural fincas, while Palma itself rewards a stay in its historic old town near the cathedral. Most clients plan five to seven nights, often in a private villa or a restored finca hotel.
A private day charter along the dramatic west coast to anchor at coves such as Cala Deia and Sa Calobra is the classic outing. Inland, private visits to working vineyards and olive estates, a guided exploration of Palma's Gothic cathedral and old town, and a drive through the Tramuntana villages reward those wanting more than beach life. Forest Travel can also arrange private chef and wellness days within your villa.
Private chauffeured transfers are recommended from Palma airport and for exploring, as the Tramuntana's mountain roads are winding and parking at popular coves is limited. A skippered yacht or boat is the most elegant way to reach the west-coast inlets that are hard to approach by land. Reservations at the leading restaurants and beach clubs should be made well ahead in summer.
Mallorca combines naturally with Ibiza and Formentera, reached by short flight or by private yacht for those island-hopping, and with Barcelona as a mainland gateway before flying across. Your advisor can build a route that opens with the energy of Ibiza and closes with the refined calm of Mallorca's northwest coast. The island also stands well on its own for a full week.
Each a starting point — our advisors weave them into a single, seamless journey.
Every journey here is a starting point a private advisor reshapes entirely around you — your pace, your people, the Mallorca only you would recognise.
