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 the winter beaches. With temperatures around 60 degrees (15 celsius), and a total lack of tourism, these secluded coves and stretches of sand with their turquoise waters become the perfect spot for a hike, a picnic, and a sunset walk ... all of which you will experience.

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 50-60 fahrenheit or 10-16 celcius is your comfort zone. You adore hiking and exploring. An immersion into thousands of blossoming almond and olive trees sounds magical. A barefoot walk on the beach in winter feels like the most lavish experience. 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.
Your Hosts...
How often is it that you go on holiday with the founder of your chosen travel tribe? The founder of Mallorca by Design, who has been a local resident for 6 years, will be joining every moment of this experience with you. Laura has been hosting events and spending the shoulder seasons in Mallorca since 2011, then in 2018 she finally packed her bags and left New York City to live on an olive farm. Her focus is always on the most unique experiences ... you’re in for an unforgettable adventure.
​
