An airport, bustling city, jaw-dropping coves, wild interior, wonderful cuisine, vineyards and incredible venues & activities – all this on one island. Mallorca has absolutely everything for a superb meeting or incentive event.
Be suspicious of claims of an event destination that has it all. Unless that is in relation to Mallorca. In terms of connectivity, climate, culture, variety, activities, and gastronomy – Mallorca is an event planner’s utopia, a destination where meeting and incentive events just work as planned.
Popular it might be, but away from the peak summer hotspots, Mallorca still has so much to discover, its stunning interior, secluded coves and in Palma, a capital city that is a joy to experience, a fascinating labyrinth of vibrant streets that open up onto a marina and the Mallorcan coast.
Mallorca has been reborn over recent decades, with the return of rich Spanish culture, architecture and cuisine. Stunning villages dot the interior with exceptional food and wine, harbours offer ultra-chic terrace bars and beaches are now fringed with high-end restaurants serving outstanding Spanish cuisine.
The island is geologically dramatic with a 1400mm mountainous interior and precipitous cliffs diving into emerald coves. There are action sports on the coast and in the interior, whilst those looking for culture or relaxation can sample some wonderful experiences in divine settings.
