4-star hotel in a beautiful historical building
Located at the top of the town of Selva, this cosy rural hotel is situated in a 17th-century restored manor house.
There are only six rooms on offer, each unique and fully equipped, with great views of the Tramuntana mountains, the north coast of the island and the neighbouring villages.
For a long time, the building was the residence of noble families of Mallorca. The current owner has restored all the building, retaining its most stunning architectural features. For example, the 'portal fora' constructed with perfectly fitted stone blocks, the original 'cub de vi', which was used for the fermentation of the grape in producing wines, or the cellar excavated in the rock, where wine was stored in barrels.
The stone stairs are one of the oldest and most valuable architectural elements of the house. In keeping with the Mallorcan Gothic style, the hotel also retains in its large windows the conopial carved stone arcs. Finally, in the patio there is a magnificent 'aljub', characteristic element of the Mediterranean culture, which still today collects rainwater.
Miceli is a family-run restaurant in Inca, Mallorca, where simplicity and quality take centre stage.

The restaurant is led by Chef Marga Coll, who has been perfecting her craft since 1995, bringing decades of experience from renowned Majorcan kitchens to every dish she creates.
Tucked away in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana, in the small village of Caimari, Ca Na Toneta offers a dining experience that is deeply connected to Mallorca’s land, seasons and traditions.

Expect a carefully balanced journey through seasonal Mallorcan cuisine, including starters, soup, a traditional coca, fish, meat and dessert.

Playa de Muro is a beautiful 6 kilometre long, Blue Flag award-winning, white sandy beach in the north of Mallorca. It's generally quieter than neighbouring Alcudia beach because of its out of town location.
This beautiful and popular ‘Blue Flag’ beach boasting fine white sand, stretches more than 3km east from Port d'Alcúdia. This breathtaking beach is one of the reasons why Port d'Alcúdia remains so popular with holiday makers year after year.
Situated 10km away from Alcudia on Mallorca’s northern coast, Playa de Ca’n Picafort is a busy yet beautiful expanse of soft white sand with clear blue waters. This small fishing village turned purpose-built-resort, mostly caters to tourists and all-inclusive holidaymakers, who arrive by the bus load every summer.
Easily accessible and popular with tourists and locals alike, this long stretch of coast line from Puerto Pollensa to Alcudia makes for a beautiful drive or cycle. Hugging the beachside all the way around the crescent shaped bay, the road presents fantastic views towards Cap Formentor, Cap Pinar and all the way out to sea.

Castell d'Alaro is perched on top a rocky mountain above the town of Alaro in the west of Mallorca. A popular walk from the town (or further up the hill if you prefer to drive) takes you to a ruined castle and hilltop chapel offering spectacular views of the Tramuntana mountains and over towards Palma and all the way to the sea.
If you drive around the coast of Mallorca, you will find ancient towers or 'torres' that were used to guard the island against invasions by unwelcome visitors.
Do not believe anyone who tells you that they have discovered the perfect unspoilt cove on the west coast - unless of course the name is Sa Calobra. This is indeed a beautiful spot, which is why tour buses pour in by the dozen every day, even in winter.
