About Valldemossa

Perched in the gentle green foothills of the Sierra de Tramuntana, the village of Valldemossa is the stuff of Mediterranean dreams. A tranquil historic community, it’s a gorgeous destination for romantic couples as well as outdoorsy travellers. There’s a good choice of accommodation options in the area, with everything from rustic B&Bs to luxurious boutique hotels fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Characterful and intimate, the best places to stay in Valldemossa also promise fabulous mountain views.

Built of pale stone, Valldemossa’s narrow, tree-lined cobbled streets are home to terracotta-roofed houses, shops, galleries and cafés. Culture aficionados will be fascinated by La Cartuja, the village’s 13th-century Carthusian monastery. Originally built as a royal residence, the building later played host to the composer Fredric Chopin and writer Georges Sand in late 1838. The Palacio del Rey Sancho is the community’s other cultural landmark, blessed with spectacular gardens. Pull up a chair at a buzzy outdoor bar or eatery on one of the village’s sun-drenched squares to feast on seasonal produce — including the region’s famous olives, almonds and oranges.

Venture into the surrounding mountains to follow scenic hiking, horse riding and cycling trails. An outdoorsy travellers’ favourite, the extensive Gran Ruta 221 (GR 221) connects villages throughout Mallorca's craggy Sierra de Tramuntana. The Santuari de Santa Maria de Lluc, tucked amidst the mountains, has attracted pilgrims for centuries and is well worth visiting.
