Where we stayed?

Sa Creu Nova is five-star luxury hotel and was one of the best hotel experiences for us. It’s located in a small agricultural town of Campos. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the best beaches in Mallorca. Es Trenc Beach is only 10 minutes away. The hotel even provides a beach bag, flip flops and beach towels.

We spent hours enjoying the hotel facilities including an outdoor salt pool, spas and saunas.

The hotel has two unique restaurants, Tess De Mar (Mediterranean cuisine) and Kairiku (Japanese). We had a delicious dinner at Tess De Mar. It’s about half the price you would pay for a similar restaurant in Central Europe. Included in the price was a buffet breakfast at Tess De Mar with a massive selection of food and drinks.

Valldemossa

We hired a car at the Airport from and headed North to Valldemossa. We started exploring the old town streets before 10am and it was so quiet. Many of the narrow alleyways were lined with beautiful plants, paintings and festival decorations.

For breakfast, we found a bakery called Pastelería Ca’n Molinas. We had delicious empanadas, quiches, sweet bread, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee.

Port de Sóller

We continued North and followed the scenic road along the coastal cliffs until we reached Port de Sóller. We visited the luxurious Bikini Island & Mountains Hotel. The stairs leading up to the hotel are painted in colourful flower designs. From the bar at the top level, there is an amazing view of the port and surrounding mountains.

We walked along the water admiring the many beautiful boats. From here, there is the islands first electric tram that takes you to Sóller and back.

Sóller is about 6km away from the Port, sitting in the heart of the ‘Valley of Oranges’. We parked next to the Botanical Gardens and walked through the beautiful authentic alleyways to the Main Square Plaza de la Constitución. We were there on a Saturday, so there was a market. The main attraction is the Church of Saint Bartholomew.

Es Trenc

We were up early to try and beat the crowds to Es Trenc Beach. We couldn’t find a car park near the beach so we had to park in the paid parking area a few kilometres away. There is a regular bus that takes you to the beach and back.

This long white beach with unbelievably clear water is one of the most popular beaches. Many boats come into this bay. There is a beach bar that sells snacks and cold drinks.

Es Pontás

We watched the sunset here. We parked in a residential area close to where the path begins. On the short walk there we passed an epic rock stack before reaching the clifftop viewpoint. This lookout is a perfect spot to view the natural rock arch and the stunning coastal cliffs.

Caló des Moro

From the car park it’s about a 2km walk. The path took us along the edge of the cliff with idyllic views. Alternatively, there is another quicker non-scenic route.

The beach is surrounded by cliffs so the walkway down was very narrow and steep. Bring a snorkel as there are small caves and lots of fish to see in the crystal clear water. The rocky beach is very small and busy. We arrived early and managed to claim a rock. We only spent about an hour here then walked to the next bay called Cala S’Almunia.

Cala S’Almunia

A perfect place for cliff jumping. My favourite was a 4-metre jump into a rock pool. Once in the water, you could swim out through a cave to the open ocean. The rocks can be sharp so swimming shoes are good to have. There is no sand beach here, instead there are many rocky areas. We found a nice spot in front of the old buildings. Like most beaches in Mallorca, the water is a magical turquoise colour.

Palma de Mallorca

Our last stop before our flight was the Old Town of Palma de Mallorca. Exploring these busy touristy streets made us happy that we stayed in Campos. We walked around the spectacular Cathedral, Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca.

We struggled to find somewhere to eat because of the Siesta. To keep us going we had delicious ice cream at Sa Gelateria (have to try the white chocolate cone), pastries at Fornet de la Soca and a large Sangria at Ombu.
