There comes a moment when you know an island deserves a special place in the way you travel. For us, that moment arrived with Mallorca. And today we make it official: Mallorca is the first island to land on Let's Jaleo, with 8 experiences designed so you can discover it like never before.
Because Mallorca is not just beaches. It is a Gothic cathedral that leaves you speechless, Arab baths with a thousand years of history, stone villages perched above the Mediterranean, and a gastronomy that goes far beyond the ensaimada (though the ensaimada, let's be honest, is spectacular).
Why Mallorca and why now
We had been searching for the right first island for the platform for some time. We wanted a destination that combined history, culture, gastronomy and nature without relying solely on sun and sand. Mallorca has it all.
Palma, its capital, holds more than 700 years of history visible on every corner. La Seu Cathedral, one of the most impressive Gothic cathedrals in Europe, rises above the bay with a presence that takes your breath away. Just metres away, the Banys Arabs transport you to the 10th century, when the island was part of the Islamic world.
But Mallorca goes beyond Palma. The Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a landscape of mountains, centuries-old olive groves and villages like Deia, where artists and writers have been seeking inspiration for decades. Robert Graves fell in love with this corner and never left. It must have something special.
8 experiences for every type of traveller
We have not created a single generic experience. We have designed 8 routes covering every profile, because we know not everyone travels the same way.
For the history and monument lover
The Monumental Mallorca: Cathedral, Bellver and Old Town experience is a journey to the heart of Palma. From the majesty of La Seu — with the largest rose window of any Gothic cathedral in the world — to Bellver Castle, a unique 14th-century circular fortress, the only one of its kind in Spain. Palma's old town, with its medieval alleys and stately courtyards, is an open-air museum that few visitors truly know.
For the foodie who travels with their stomach
If great food is your thing, Flavours of Mallorca: From Mercat de l'Olivar to the Perfect Ensaimada will make you very happy. Mercat de l'Olivar is Palma's central market, where real Mallorcans do their shopping. Here you will find artisan sobrasada, trencades olives, Mahon cheese and everything you need to understand the island's larder.
Don't leave without trying tumbet (Mallorca's quintessential vegetarian dish), a good pa amb oli with ramallet tomato, and a freshly baked ensaimada. For fine dining seekers, Adrian Quetglas' restaurant in Palma offers Michelin-starred author cuisine fusing Mallorcan flavours with international influences.
The wines of Binissalem, Mallorca's denomination of origin, are another secret few know about. Indigenous grape varieties like manto negro and prensal blanc produce wines with their own personality that rival anything from the mainland.
For the Instagrammer chasing the perfect shot
Mallorca is stunningly photogenic. The Instagrammable Mallorca: Courtyards, Rooftops and Turquoise Coves experience takes you through the island's most visual corners. The stately courtyards of Palma's old town, with their stone arches and bougainvillea, are one of the city's best-kept secrets. Rooftops with sunset views of La Seu are pure magic. And the turquoise coves — Calo des Moro, Cala Varques, Cala Llombards — need no filter.
For families with children
The Mallorca with Kids: Aquarium, Castle and Sea Adventure experience is designed for little ones (and not-so-little ones) to enjoy the island. Palma Aquarium is a fantastic family plan, Bellver Castle becomes a medieval adventure with its panoramic views, and a catamaran ride around Palma Bay is one of those experiences children never forget.
For those seeking local secrets
If you want to discover the Mallorca that doesn't appear in guidebooks, we have an experience dedicated to Palma's most characterful neighbourhoods. Santa Catalina, the former fishing quarter turned gastronomic epicentre. Es Jonquet, with its historic windmills and bohemian air. And Sa Gerreria, the area undergoing a transformation with local design shops, natural wine bars and art galleries.
For the slow traveller
Mallorca lends itself to unhurried travel. The interior courtyards of Palma's stately homes, hidden gardens, charming cafes where time seems to stand still. This experience is designed for those who prefer to absorb a place calmly, without rushing through an endless list of monuments.
For the premium experience
For those seeking something exclusive, Mallorca offers options that blend luxury with authenticity. Dinner at Adrian Quetglas (Michelin star), a private catamaran sunset cruise around Palma Bay, and a visit to the Binissalem wineries with a private estate tasting. Luxury with Mallorcan roots.
For the express or business traveller
Palma is increasingly a bleisure destination. If you only have half a day free between meetings, we have an experience that captures the essentials: Cathedral, a coffee in the old town and a stroll along the harbour. The must-sees, without wasting time.
Marina Torrens: your local guide in Mallorca
All Mallorca experiences have been designed by Marina Torrens, our local creator on the island. Marina was born and raised in Palma, knows every corner of the island and has that special ability to find places that even Mallorcans have forgotten.
When we asked her what makes Mallorca special, her answer was direct: "People come for the beaches and leave in love with Palma's streets, the Sunday ensaimada and the sunsets in Deia. Mallorca catches you where you least expect it."
What makes Mallorca unique on Let's Jaleo
Mallorca is the platform's first island, and that makes it special for several reasons. It is a destination that combines the urban and the natural in an exceptional way. In one morning you can be exploring Palma's Gothic cathedral and by the afternoon swimming in a turquoise cove accessible only on foot.
The cultural mix is fascinating: Roman, Arab, Catalan and Castilian influences have merged over centuries to create something unique. The 10th-century Banys Arabs coexist with the modernism of Palma's Gran Hotel. The architecture tells the story of every conquest, every exchange, every cultural blend.
And Mallorcan gastronomy is far richer than most people imagine. From the humble pa amb oli to the sophisticated tumbet, from artisan ensaimada to Binissalem's signature wines, there is a universe of flavours waiting to be discovered.
Discover Mallorca like never before
Mallorca is now available on Let's Jaleo with 8 experiences ready to explore. Each one includes verified activities, local recommendations from Marina and the practical information you need to make sure you don't miss a thing.
If you have always thought Mallorca was just beaches and all-inclusive hotels, it is time to change your mind. The island has soul, it has history, it has flavour. And now it has its place on Let's Jaleo.
