Valldemossa Holidays

Cultural escape in the mountains

Slip away into the hills of Majorca to the small town of Valldemossa – a tiny town that many have escaped to over the centuries. A mix of natural beauty and historical sights, Valldemossa holidays are for those looking to find their own quiet hideaway on this ever-popular Spanish island. The earthen tones of Valldemossa’s buildings allow them to blend into the natural settings. Pristine hiking trails and horse riding keep travellers active, while the town centre features, among other things, an impressive 13th-century palace.

Converted to a monastery centuries later, the building still defines the skyline. The house at Carrer Rectoria 5 was the birthplace of Santa Catalina Thomas and is now a shrine to Majorca's patron saint. Holidays to Valldemossa feature plenty of restaurants, art galleries and boutiques that exude Spanish charm, with the green forests of the Tramuntana Mountains as a dramatic backdrop.
