Capdepera
History, tradition and Mallorcan authenticity
Discover Capdepera, one of Mallorca’s most characterful villages. Strolling through its cobbled streets is like travelling back in time, with the 14th-century medieval castle as the main landmark, dominating the landscape and offering spectacular views of the surroundings.
Immerse yourself in local life at its traditional market, where crafts, flavours and customs intertwine in an authentic experience.
Just a few minutes from Melbeach, Capdepera is the perfect cultural getaway to connect with the island’s most genuine essence.
Artà
Tradition and nature with a Mallorcan soul
Located in the northeast of the island, Artà has preserved its authentic character intact. Among stone streets, noble architecture and natural landscapes, this town offers the perfect combination of heritage, culture and unspoilt coastline.
Discover its more than 25 kilometres of protected shoreline, its peaceful atmosphere and its deep-rooted local traditions. A visit to Artà is an invitation to feel Mallorca from within, far from the noise and full of its true essence.
Cala Ratjada
Just a few minutes from the Creu de Tau Art & Spa Hotel, Cala Ratjada retains the soul of an authentic Mallorcan fishing port, with its unhurried rhythm and coastal essence. This enclave, part of the municipality of Capdepera, perfectly blends tradition with leisure, scenery with local life.
Be charmed by its seafront promenade, which runs alongside the sea, between small coves, charming shops and inviting terraces. The still-active harbour preserves its authenticity, offering a picturesque scene where traditional boats mingle with modern yachts. Nearby, the Capdepera Lighthouse crowns the coastline and offers stunning views of the open sea and, on clear days, of neighbouring Menorca.
Cala Ratjada is a vibrant yet authentic destination, perfect for enjoying the sea, savouring local gastronomy or simply strolling at leisure, surrounded by the breeze and the salty aroma of the Mediterranean.
Palma
A blend of heritage, modernity and unmistakable island character. Situated at the heart of the bay, Palma reveals its charm through cobbled alleyways, tree-lined avenues, designer boutiques, gourmet markets and a vibrant cultural life.
Strolling through its old town is a journey through centuries of history: the majestic Gothic Cathedral, known as “La Seu”, rises by the sea as one of the island’s great landmarks. Around it, noble mansions, inner courtyards, art galleries and soulful cafés shape a city that breathes art and tradition at every step.
Palma is also the perfect place for shopping, enjoying a dinner under the stars or relaxing by the sea. From here, it is easy to reach some of the island’s most beautiful villages, such as Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller, which complement the urban experience with their rural authenticity and mountain landscapes.
A cosmopolitan capital with a Mediterranean soul, Palma welcomes you with open arms to offer the very best of Mallorca in one place.
Cala Mesquida
Just a few minutes from the Creu de Tau Art & Spa Hotel, Cala Mesquida stands out as one of the most spectacular coastal landscapes in northeast Mallorca. This fine-sand beach with crystal-clear waters, surrounded by natural dunes and pine forests, is part of a protected area due to its high ecological value.
Its almost unspoilt, sparsely developed surroundings make it the perfect choice for those looking to disconnect from the hustle and immerse themselves in nature. The wide, wild beach is ideal for swimming, relaxing under the sun, or walking among the dunes while feeling the sea breeze and hearing the sound of the waves.
In summer, Cala Mesquida offers sunbed rentals and a small beach bar, but its true charm lies in its natural state, turquoise waters, and the serenity it conveys. A perfect spot for a day trip or to enjoy one of the most magical sunsets on Mallorca’s eastern coast.
