Lovely Mallorca

I realized that I never quite caught up on a few trips I have taken over the past few months. So without further ado, I give you the lovely Mallorca.

We went to Mallorca for a long weekend in August... hm, I guess I am more than a few months delayed posting about this, whoops... we were search of a relaxing Mediterranean beach get away and this island lived up to our expectations.  Mallorca is extremely busy with holiday-goers in August, so we purposely chose to stay in an adults only hotel in a small village on the western side of the island so that we could hide from the crowds (Camp de Mar).  We had an absolute blast in Mallorca, it has beautiful coastlines, wonderful hidden beaches, and scrumptuous food (Paella anyone?).

I would highly recommend adding Mallorca to any European summer travel itinerary. My only suggestion (as with any European beach destination) would be to avoid visiting Mallorca in August if possible as everyone else on the continent seemed to have the same idea...

Can we stay here forever?

We went on a run past our hotel and up onto a neighboring mountain - what views!

EAT: Flor de Sal in Camp de Mar has beautiful views and fantastic food
STAY: H10 Blue Mar in Mallorca was a great adult's only hotel in the quiet bay of Camp de Mar
PLAY: So many options, but we mainly stayed and relaxed in Camp de Mar. We also spent one day exploring the beach and caves at Portals Vells which I would highly recommend - the color of the water was spectacular
