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.
