Curator and art dealer Katharina Herold moved her by-appointment gallery space from Hamburg to a townhouse in charming Felanitx, and she describes Mallorca as “a magical island drawing in creatives from around the world”. Katharina agrees that it’s a year-round destination and she recommends November or even early December. Some of her insider tips include Sundays at Consell flea market for vintage and unusual homeware finds, outdoor movie nights at Hotel Corazón, S’Hortet cafe in Deià for a fresh, locally produced lunch and Arquinesia perfume shop in Palma, for Mallorcan-inspired fragrances in a beautifully curated space.

Aesthetically-minded readers will be elated to know that Mallorca is small but mighty, with a roster of design-led hotels so strong it could only be rivaled by big hitters like London and Paris (alas, with prices to match). You might notice that many hotels on the island follow a similar decorative concept; with swathes of linen, natural stone, oversized lamps, contemporary art and hefty reclaimed wood. Not that we’d complain about too much of a good thing. Especially when they’re all so tastefully done, exuding quiet luxury without a scrap of ostentation, but when so many hotels are worthy of a coffee table book, it can be tricky to choose a favorite. In fact, it was genuinely difficult to narrow down our shortlist.

Unlike similarly expensive holiday destinations such as Marbella and Mykonos, where the heels are high and the multi-story yachts are higher, the newgen of luxury hotels in Mallorca lean towards wellness and curated guest experiences. They’re more likely to offer breathwork classes and pop-up exhibitions than all-day DJs by the pool.
