One of Europe’s best hidden treasures…. Well the secret is out, It is the Island of Mallorca.

Mallorca.. an island off the coast of Spain, apart of the Balearic Islands and only a thirty minute flight from Barcelona.

It is where the world’s ultra-rich, socialites, and celebrities hide out to keep their vacationing under wraps and remove themselves from the spotlight. It is hard to remind yourself this island isn’t made of money considering the world’s largest yahts are stationed in the stunning ports that outline the island.

 Plain and simple, this island is pure gold.

Arriving at the St. Regis Hotel just outside of the island’s capital, Palma was nothing less than lovely and honestly, mind-blowing.

The hotel was prestige, warm yet conservative and POSH.

The service was perfection and the food was even better and fresh as can be.

During the day time, you could relax on the sun beds that just happened to be warming water beds. The Mediterranean ocean was glittering just beyond the cliffs and the sun was brighter than ever.

Mallorca was what I would consider, heaven on earth.

Look who we woke up to outside our door every morning :)
Some of our day trips involved visiting the charming ports that hold these mega yachts, and just with our luck, we happened to be in Mallorca during the international boat show.

The ports were something that I would imagine a quaint European port to be like. Little boutiques and restaurants lined the marina and the sailboats were coming in and out of the marina as the day led on.

I know I use the word posh very frequently but when I would describe posh to someone, it would be the Ports in Mallorca. Mallorca is the Aspen of Europe, and obviously the beach version.

The fashion was incredible. Men strolled around with bright colored slacks, button-ups, and dress shoes as they left their yachts. The women shuffled off their yachts in their sky-high Louboutins and Dolce & Gabanna yacht wear.

I was so incredibly intrigued by the charm of this destination spot for the world’s rich and famous but I was more intrigued by the fashion.

Wearing haute couture and high-end brands while boating? Am I dreaming or is this real life? UNBELIEVEABLE.

I couldn’t get enough.

I was addicted.

One night we attended flamenco dancing to get a taste of the Spanish culture which was entertaining to say the least. The costumes were beautiful and didn’t only extenuate the women’s beauty but showcased Spain’s history and authentic culture.

At dinner we dinned on fish and seafood that was caught just hours before they were placed on our table, the Mallorcan wine was as sweet as could be.

The little night clubs that over looked the marinas were filled with socialites, and heavy hitters that were in a trance from the deep house music that filled the room and the Dom Perignon that was in every champagne flute.

The architecture was beautiful, especially the Palma cathedral. It is hands-down the most underrated and breathe-taking cathedral I have ever laid my eyes on.

The turquoise blue water in the Mediterranean and golden beaches were unbelievable.

All together, Mallorca is posh, beautiful and some where I would absolutely die to visit again soon.

Having my family there, our best family friends, and good company made this trip one we will talk about for eternity and an inspiration for what I hope to work towards so I can have a future just like the people I admired those days I spent in the ports.

Back to the Balearic Islands in a week …

For the one and only…

IBIZA.
