WHY AMERICANS ARE FALLING IN LOVE WITH MALLORCA
Mallorca has quietly become a favorite among American travelers—and it’s not hard to see why.
It offers the perfect mix of European romance, Mediterranean relaxation, and cultural depth. There’s something unmistakably peaceful here: no rushing, no noise—just great food, amazing wine, and golden afternoons that seem to last forever. Americans love Mallorca.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many Americans say they’re drawn to:
The walkable, historic Old Town
Boutique hotels instead of giant resorts
A vibrant food scene without the snobbery
English-friendly locals who are warm and welcoming
The ability to explore a stunning island without needing a car
NEW DIRECT FLIGHTS FROM THE U.S. TO MALLORCA
Here’s the best part: Getting to Mallorca is now easier than ever. In 2024, airlines began offering direct flights from major U.S. cities to Palma de Mallorca (PMI) during high season. This means you can:
Skip the connection in Madrid or Barcelona
Be on the beach in under 9 hours from the East Coast
Start your vacation rested, not jet-lagged
So whether you’re flying from New York, Miami, or even Chicago, getting to paradise has never been simpler.
SUNSHINE, BEACHES AND SEA BREEZE
Mallorca enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year. Whether you’re lounging on a beach just minutes from the city center or sailing along the coast, the Mediterranean lifestyle is all about slowing down and soaking it all in.
Unlike other European cities, Palma offers the rare combination of beach and culture. You can start your day touring castles and end it sipping sangria by the sea.
OLD-WORLD CHARM MEETS COASTAL CHIC
Palma’s historic center is a postcard come to life. Visit La Seu, the city’s iconic Gothic cathedral by the water, explore medieval alleyways, or relax in a quiet plaza with a café con leche in hand.
Palm trees sway next to 14th-century architecture—it’s Europe at its most magical, without the chaos of bigger cities.
BOUTIQUE HOTELS, LOCAL MARKETS AND HIDDEN GEMS
Palma is made for boutique lovers. Skip the big resorts—this is the place for charming, locally owned hotels, rooftop terraces, and courtyards filled with orange trees.
Don’t miss the Mercat de l’Olivar, Palma’s vibrant market where you can taste fresh seafood, local cheeses, and authentic Spanish jamón. For shoppers, Palma’s streets are filled with stylish local designers and artisan goods.
FOOD AND WINE, THE MEDITERRANEAN WAY
Mallorca is a haven for food lovers. From elegant rooftop dining to tiny tapas bars tucked into ancient alleys, Palma serves up flavors that are fresh, bold, and entirely local. Explore the island’s wineries, enjoy farm-to-table cuisine, and don’t leave without trying sobrasada, a local delicacy. Authentic, Accessible, Unforgettable Palma feels personal. It’s not overrun with cruise ships or tour groups—it’s where you actually connect with the place you’re visiting. You’ll hear church bells, see real neighborhoods, and enjoy hospitality that feels genuine.
And with new direct flights from the U.S, you don’t have to choose between adventure and convenience.
