About Mallorca
Mallorca is the most complete sailing destination in the western Mediterranean — an island large enough to offer genuine variety, beautiful enough to reward every anchorage, and sophisticated enough to satisfy the most discerning sailor. The northwest coast, where the UNESCO-protected Serra de Tramuntana mountain range drops directly into the sea, is among the most dramatic sailing scenery in the Mediterranean: sheer limestone cliffs, occasional fishing villages accessible only by water, and the extraordinary port of Sóller. Palma, the island’s capital, is a revelation: a Gothic cathedral that rises directly from the waterfront, a thriving old town of Moorish lanes and contemporary restaurants, and one of the finest sailing marinas in Europe. The south and east coasts are a different world entirely — a succession of hidden coves (calas) of turquoise water and white sand, tucked between pine-covered headlands, many accessible only by sea. Es Trenc, Cala Mondragó, and Cala Agulla are among the most beautiful beaches in the Balearics. And from Mallorca, the island circuit continues: Menorca to the northeast, quieter and windswept; Ibiza and Formentera to the southwest, where the water turns luminous green over Posidonia meadows.
