Almond Blossoms in Mallorca...
The Serra de Tramuntana is a dramatic mountain range soaring nearly 5,000 feet (1,445 m) high, along 56 miles (90 km) of Mallorca's northwest coast. Every year, long before the snowcapped peaks mull the thaw, a blanket of almond blossoms rolls across the great plateau - the “snow of Mallorca,” as poetic locals put it. More than 5 million almond trees call the island home, and in February they become a jaw-dropping sight to behold as tiny pink and white flowers abound. A compliment to this natural spectacle are temperatures in the 60's (16-18 celsius), and a total lack of tourism.
Villages You Will Explore...
This Getaway Is For You If...
Mother nature and her creations are irresistible to you. Historic walks through the past awaken your curiosity. You love dining alfresco with a cozy blanket. Visiting local markets to taste everything in season rocks your socks. Temperatures of 60 degrees fahrenheit (16 celsius) is your comfort zone. You adore hiking and exploring. An immersion into thousands of blossoming almond trees sounds magical. Wine tasting in the mountains is your idea of a heaven. You prefer to mingle with locals and immerse yourself in their way of life. And finally, traveling with an intimate group of like-minded women is your jam. There will be a good amount of walking, so comfortable shoes and an appropriate level of fitness is required.

The creators of your experience in Mallorca...
Deborah Ives
Founder, Solo In Style
Deborah has always loved to travel and when she found herself suddenly divorced at age 50, her response was to go it alone. It was scary, fabulous, and empowering, in equal measure, and she was instantly hooked. As a solo female traveler over the age of 50, a huge and growing demographic, Deborah felt ignored by the travel industry. This prompted her to create Solo In Style with the idea of connecting like-minded women through their solo travels. Alongside a successful 30-year career in marketing, fine wine and culinary arts, Deborah, now aged 65, continues to expand Solo In Style globally to encourage and support as many women as possible to fulfill their solo travel ambitions.
Laura Cozik
Founder, Team Lipstick
Laura has always been passionate about encouraging women to push their boundaries in order to become powerful. She truly believes this can only be done when you align yourself with other capable women who are willing to support each other. Laura is 59 years old, a group fitness instructor, a nationally ranked ballroom dance champion, a triathlete, an entrepreneur, and an extroverted introvert who loves to travel solo. She has been published in Cosmopolitan, Competitor, Shape, Triathlete, and New York Magazine for her accomplishments in the fitness and travel industries. Her celebrity clients include Nicole Kidman, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Keith Urban and Soledad O'Brien.
