In recent years, Mallorca has taken on a new, glamorous style - five-star hotels are replacing budget accommodation and the beautiful island of white-sand beaches and soaring mountains is becoming one of the Mediterranean's chicest holiday destinations.
STAY AT Hotel Salvia: a small 19th-century mansion is set in the quietest part of the old town of Sóller, Hotel Salvia has retained its original old-world decor. With only one room and five suites, the hotel is an intimate retreat far from the hustle-and-bustle of party-Mallorca. It's a place to come for comfort and serenity. Hotel Salvia featured in our picture gallery Mallorca: Next Stop Sóller. (00 34 971 634936; www.hotelsalvia.com)
WHEN TO GO: Mallorca is a very popular summer holiday destination but, to avoid the crowds, go in spring or late summer or autumn when the weather is still warm enough to bathe in the sea.
