2026 Llevant Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

A charming and sheltered cove that allows for peaceful swimming even on windy days. However, since it's very small, it tends to fill up quickly, leaving visitors packed in tightly. If you plan to spend the whole day there and want to secure some personal space, you'll need to arrive very early and set up your umbrella. That said, even if you head there later in the morning, it's still worth a quick dip.

I'm currently sitting by the pool, savoring the last hours of our vacation before we head to the airport. After 10 days at the Green Garden Aparthotel, we can confidently say we had an amazing time! The entire property, including the rooms, was well-maintained. The staff, with only one or two minor exceptions, were incredibly friendly, warm, and always striving to make our stay enjoyable. The food deserves special mention. It was fresh, varied, and truly delicious every single day. The selection was generous, offering something for every taste. Honestly, we can't understand what some guests find to complain about here. During peak times, the dining area did get a bit busy and noisy, but we usually opted to eat outside on the terrace, where it was pleasantly quiet and beautiful. While there were occasionally small queues at the buffet, it's entirely normal for a hotel of this size. It didn’t bother us at all—after all, you're on vacation, not in a rush. Our conclusion: This is truly a fantastic aparthotel with a lovely setting, great food, and mostly outstanding staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book the Green Garden Aparthotel again in a heartbeat. Thanks for 10 wonderful days!

We’ve stayed here twice before, once with our children 10 years ago and then again in 2024. Initially, we booked another hotel to explore a different part of the island based on its glowing reviews. However, it fell short of expectations, so we requested TUI to move us back to our favorite Punta Rotja. Although two days of our 11-night holiday were wasted, Punta Rotja saved the trip, offering an even better experience than our previous visits. The atmosphere was peaceful and stunning, the food delicious with so much variety, and the staff cheerful and welcoming. Our room on the 7th floor was newly refurbished, spacious, and wonderfully quiet. There was no issue with sun-bed reserving, and there was plenty of space to relax peacefully. A big thank you to all the staff, including those working diligently in the kitchens to serve exceptional breakfast and dinner every day. Punta Rotja is truly a gem, and we hope it continues to attract people who value its unique charm.

For decades, we've regularly traveled with our Mühlenfelder group to Cala Ratjada, staying at the Hotel Lliteras. It’s a family-run, cozy hotel with exceptionally friendly and attentive staff, all led by Elena. This year, Lliteras is celebrating its 60th anniversary, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations. We’re looking forward to visiting many more times. A big thank you to Elena and the Lliteras team for always making us feel so welcome. Love you all.

Watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon over Mallorca was absolutely incredible—stunning light and a glass of cava made it perfect. :-) Booking was quick and easy, with excellent communication prior to the trip. The meeting point was simple to find, and a warm welcome set the tone. Jordi and his team are skilled professionals whose calm, experienced manner made us feel very safe and cared for. Impressively, Jordi spoke fluent Spanish, German, and French, accommodating the whole group. Helping with the balloon added to the fun. Bonus: We were the first to lift off, catching the entire sunrise. Unlike others starting later, I’d highly recommend this company!

What can I say, it's a fantastic hotel with incredibly kind and professional staff. The cleanliness was great, the food was excellent and diverse, with an outstanding breakfast and dinner featuring different dishes every night! A special thanks to Angela, the mini club animator, as my little girl had so much fun. The hotel's location is ideal for accessing Cala Agulla beach, nearby evening spots, or even just supermarkets. Highly recommended!

Great hotel in an ideal location. The staff is kind, the rooms are spacious and clean, the breakfast is excellent and plentiful. The spa is beautiful, featuring a Kneipp path, a gym, showers, and washing machines available for guests. They also provide daily beach towels. I opted for the half-board option and had a fantastic experience – the food was fresh and well-prepared. The children's entertainment is excellent, with Angela, the assigned staff member, being very sweet. There's also a playground for younger kids. Spectacular views, Cala Agulla is stunning with turquoise waters, and Cala Rajada is just a short walk away. Excellent value for money.

A small and elegant boutique hotel in traditional Mallorcan style, beautifully decorated with all rooms on the ground floor, each featuring a small terrace. Breakfast is served buffet-style on the terrace, with the option to order egg dishes à la carte. The hotel is nestled in a serene and spacious garden with a fantastic, clean pool area equipped with plenty of loungers, umbrellas, and shaded trees. Son Servera, lively Cala Bona, and nearby beaches are just a few minutes away. A rental car is recommended, with free parking available. One small downside: the dinner, which requires prior reservation by midday, doesn’t match the hotel’s otherwise high standards.

Probably one of the best holidays I've ever had! We absolutely love this place. It's situated right on the water, offering a stunning promenade for running or walking, and it's close to some amazing hiking opportunities. While visiting in February during the off-season means most restaurants are closed and the water is chilly, the sauna and the delicious hotel food more than compensate for it. Plus, it's pleasantly quiet without crowds of tourists.

This comfortable hotel boasts a friendly staff and exceptional cleanliness. It's a smaller property, ensuring it never feels crowded, and there are always sun loungers available by the pool. We opted for a sea view at an additional cost. The majority of the guests are German, with few British visitors. A coastal walk to Cala Ratjada takes approximately 20 minutes, or you can catch a bus right outside the hotel. Taxis cost around €10. However, there aren't any local shops nearby, and the hotel charges €2.90 for half a liter of water. Being on half board meant buying water outside of breakfast time. Additionally, milk for tea or coffee in the rooms is not provided. While the entertainment was enjoyable and the food was acceptable, the tranquil atmosphere makes it ideal for those seeking peace and quiet. However, we are unlikely to return.

A wonderful place with amazing staff, starting from the person who cleaned our room, to the dining room staff, receptionists, animators, and ending with the director. It was a truly unique experience. The coves, Capdepera, and Artá – everything was simply wonderful.

The food was excellent, and the staff truly stood out for being welcoming and friendly. The location was also fantastic, just a short drive to some amazing beaches. The hotel was very quiet and provided a relaxing environment. We also really enjoyed the evening entertainment.

We traveled with our one-year-old son, and our stay was wonderful. The treatment we received from the entire team was exceptional. They made us feel at home and provided all the convenience we needed for our son. Facilities, cleanliness, buffet, Picco restaurant—everything was flawless. All the staff had kind words for us throughout. A special mention to Antonio, Josefina, Agustín, Christian, and Iván for making our stay even more memorable. Choosing this hotel was undoubtedly the best decision for our vacation. We’ll definitely be back!

I've been to La Pineda multiple times, and everything is just perfect here. The service, cleanliness, friendly and very dedicated staff, as well as the amazing food, all leave nothing to be desired. The facility impresses with its variety and offers something for everyone. I’m always happy to come back. Highly recommended!

The staff is very friendly, and the service is excellent. The breakfast and dinner offer a wide and fresh selection, with the highlight being the freshly prepared coffee. The hotel boasts a central location with a lovely garden and a large pool. There's also a pleasant separate area designated for adults only. All rooms come with a balcony or terrace, though they could be slightly more spacious.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it. The staff were very welcoming and always ready to assist with any inquiries or needs. The rooms were spotless, with housekeeping doing an excellent job every day. The breakfast was delicious, offering a wide variety of options. There are plenty of cafés and shops nearby, along with a pleasant promenade perfect for evening walks. The hotel is quite large, spread across several buildings. For a quieter experience, I highly suggest requesting accommodation in Blocks 6, 7, 8, or 9. I stayed in Block 7, which is located farther from the main pool and entertainment area, making it wonderfully tranquil. Blocks closer to the main pool may be noisier in the evenings. The hotel features a stunning green garden and a delightful overall ambiance. The nearest beach is around a 15–20 minute walk away. In summary, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would gladly return in the future.

I came with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary, and we were advised by Megan to choose the best option for our stay. Her guidance was absolutely wonderful. The room was decorated perfectly for the occasion, which was such a delightful surprise. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with incredibly kind service. Thank you, Megan, for being so very kind. Thanks to the entire Prisotel team 🥰

A beautiful hotel in an ideal location. Bus station, beach path, and shops are nearby. I was pleasantly surprised by the great harmony among the staff—they always had good moods and joked around with guests. The food was excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ with different buffet theme nights every evening. Very high quality and a great selection. The entertainers were fantastic and very pleasant to interact with. Special thanks to Agostino, Leyla, and the rest of the team. The hotel is highly recommended and family-friendly. I just missed having some music by the pool. 🎶 Maybe introducing occasional music sessions every few hours would be a nice touch!

We just got back from nine nights at Vista Badia and had a fantastic time. The staff were absolutely incredible! The reception team deserves a special mention—two ladies in particular were so welcoming and helpful, they made our experience truly exceptional. On our last night, they recommended the restaurant S'Oratge and it was absolutely amazing! We stayed in a select room with a hot tub, which we weren’t sure we’d use much, but it ended up being a daily treat. It was the perfect spot to relax in the mornings. The hotel itself was spotless, thanks to the hardworking cleaning staff who were also warm and friendly. Our beds were made most days, and fresh towels were always provided. In terms of food, we went for the All-Inclusive option, which proved to be worth it. Breakfast was what you’d expect but quite busy around 9 to 9:30. I’d suggest extending breakfast hours to 10:30, as it would make a big difference for a more relaxed start to the day. Lunch was best at the indoor buffet, while the dinner buffet was not as enjoyable for us, so we mostly opted for the onsite restaurants instead. These restaurants are located at the Safari Park Hotel, which is massive and crowded—thankfully we didn’t stay there. You’re guaranteed one restaurant booking per stay, though we think it should be increased based on how long guests are staying. Over seven nights should allow two bookings, and 14 nights should offer three. Booking was somewhat stressful though, as leftover slots opened at 2 p.m. each day and you needed to be on the hotel's public WiFi to reserve—spots went within seconds! We tried La Fontana (Italian à la carte), Cardamon (Chinese buffet), Goa (Indian à la carte), Country Grill (Mexican BBQ buffet), and Sicilia (Italian)—all served fresh and flavorful food. La Fontana and Country Grill stood out as the best experiences. We especially loved Country Grill’s steak and had amazing meals there three times! However, we wouldn’t recommend Sicilia; it felt like an afterthought and the food wasn’t great. The buffet food was okay overall but lacked quality in some areas—like using leftover salad bits from breakfast, which weren’t fresh by lunchtime. As for the room, it was clean and comfortable with firm beds and toppers for decent sleep. However, a TV in the bedroom would’ve been better. There was a weird smell near the kitchen area one day that we suspect came from the counters or extractor fan; we cleaned it ourselves but maintenance might need to check it out. The pool was surprisingly pleasant despite our initial concerns about the temperature. However, it lacks a proper shallow end—making it hard for kids to enjoy unless they use the baby pool, which may not appeal to them. The drinks at the bar were good, and special shoutout to August, who was always cheerful and helpful. The book exchange behind reception was a wonderful touch. We'd also love to see something like a shared basket for leftover necessities like sunscreen or beach toys, which can reduce waste while helping fellow guests. La Reserva was an extra-cost attraction but not worth it for us—it felt overpriced given our All-Inclusive package, offering only a few slides and subpar service compared to the main resort. We rented a car for a day from Protur to visit Palma Aquarium, which was stunning and worth every penny. Be mindful of fake parking attendants—the parking is free. The beach is a few minutes away on foot, but we found it crowded and littered after paying for beds and lockers. Other activities like mini golf and kids’ boats at Safari Park are fun and free for guests. You can enjoy their facilities before retreating to Vista Badia's quieter environment for ultimate relaxation. Overall, we would definitely return to Vista Badia! We’ve shared plenty of detail to help others decide, but we found June to be the perfect mix of pleasant weather, manageable crowds, and friendly staff. Whether you want a laid-back holiday or make use of the bustling nearby facilities, this resort won't disappoint. Huge thanks to all the staff for an amazing stay!

We stayed at Es Racó d’Artà for one week and had an amazing experience. The property itself is breathtaking, blending seamlessly with nature, exuding tranquility, and showcasing impeccable attention to detail. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, offering the ideal environment to unwind and disconnect. What truly sets this place apart is the team. Every staff member displayed genuine passion for their work, being proactive, attentive, and consistently helpful with a warm smile. It’s clear they prioritize creating memorable experiences over simply providing services. The food was another standout feature. The healthy, locally inspired menu was exceptional, using fresh ingredients and offering a variety of delicious choices throughout the day. We also appreciated the activities organized by the hotel. They were carefully curated, perfectly aligned with the property’s philosophy, and made it effortless to embrace the serene surroundings. Es Racó d’Artà is far more than a beautiful hotel—it’s a haven for slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and rejuvenating. We left feeling refreshed and would gladly return.

I’ve stayed in over 200 hotels in my life, and this one is by far the most beautiful. The service is excellent, and it’s very comfortable. There’s a pool for families with young children and another quieter pool for adults. Everything is breathtakingly aesthetic!

Everything here is just perfect. I was invited by a business partner and booked an additional night. What impressed me the most were small details like: the car being brought around with two cold bottles of water inside, curtains being opened in the morning and closed in the evening, and slippers placed by the bed—all done while you're out of the room. Breakfast is worth taking your time for, as you can order freshly prepared dishes from a menu. It’s simply divine! My husband and I are already planning to return for a long weekend.

The hotel is excellently located, offering incredible views of the sea and greenery, surrounded by nature. You can dine and have breakfast while enjoying the unforgettable scenery. The rooms are very well-equipped, with several pools, a wonderful bar, and a staff that truly tops things off.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location was perfect. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive at all times, making us feel right at home. The room was very spacious, impeccably clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Additionally, the breakfast and dinner buffet offered a great variety of options, and we also had food at the Snack Bar, which was very good. Definitely a highly recommended place. We look forward to returning soon!

Glad to be back! This was our third visit to these lovely apartments. Although we've seen a few negative reviews, we find these apartments to be much cheaper than most other places in Cala Millor. The staff are wonderful—special thanks to Tracey for ensuring we got the apartment we wanted! In our opinion, blocks 1-3 are the best, especially the upstairs ones as they get the sun. The only potential downside might be the stairs leading up to them, but staff are always willing to help with luggage if needed. We enjoyed sun all day during our stay. The apartment was spotless, spacious, and offered great views of Na Penyal, which we walked up on a few occasions. There are also lovely country lanes behind the property with small holdings to explore. Aldi is just a 5-minute walk away, and it's about a 12-minute walk to the sea front. We're already hoping to come back for a month in October!

The staff is always present and attentive. The entertainment is not intrusive. The cleanliness is meticulous, and the food is good and varied. It's just a short walk to Cala Agulla, a splendid little cove with crystal-clear waters, though it's quite crowded. It would be ideal to have a reserved space for hotel guests.

We went on a group paddle surf outing from Cala Gat. Leo takes care of every detail from start to finish. He explains and supports each person individually. The route is well-organized, allowing time to enjoy the scenery and have fun with the group. Give it a try and create your own amazing experience! 🙌🏼✨

The beach was absolutely stunning—so pretty! My husband, daughter (13 years old), and I visited, but we arrived just before lunchtime, when it was extremely crowded, making it hard to enjoy the sand. Not ideal for small kids wanting to play, since there wasn’t much space. I'd suggest going early to truly appreciate its beauty without the heavy crowds. The sea was so clean, and you could even spot fish. There were toilets available, likely with a small fee, and a nice eatery for snacks. However, the mojito was quite pricey and finished after just a few sips.
