Mallorca is not only beaches and dreamlike landscapes, it is also gastronomy, crafts and tradition.
One of the best ways to discover it is by visiting its most important markets, where each village and town offers unique products and the opportunity to get to know the local life.

This Valentine’s Day, treat yourself and your partner to an unforgettable weekend in Sóller, one of Mallorca’s most charming towns, staying at the cozy Hotel Casa Bougainvillea.

In a world where material things are easily accumulated and forgotten, we increasingly value what is lived and remembered, which is why giving the gift of experiences has become one of the most special ways to surprise: moments that are felt, shared and remain in the memory long after they have been lived. And if there is one experience capable of combining wellbeing, nature and authenticity, that is spending a few days relaxing in Sóller, in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana.

For years, the Blue Jazz Club, located on the rooftop of the Hotel Saratoga in Palma, was one of the most emblematic places on the island to enjoy live music. Its sophisticated atmosphere, its impressive views over the city and the bay of Palma, and its carefully planned programme of concerts with local and international artists made it a benchmark on the Mallorcan jazz scene.

Mallorcan gastronomy has a new benchmark: Juan Pinel, at the helm of L'Àtic Restaurant at the Hotel Saratoga in Palma, has been recognised with the prestigious "Revelation Chef" awardat the Premis Gastronòmics de Mallorca. This award celebrates the creativity, technique and passion of the island's trend-setting chefs.

If you are staying in one of our hotels in Sóller and you want to take advantage of your day to explore the cultural heart of the area, we suggest this route through museums and places of interest. The idea is to walk through the centre of Sóller and then go down to the Port to visit the Museu de la Mar, combining art, history and sea in a memorable day.

October has become the highlight of the trail running season in Mallorca. The Serra de Tramuntana hosts some of the toughest and most spectacular races of the year, attracting elite international athletes as well as passionate runners eager to push their limits in a unique natural setting. From legendary events like the Mallorca 5000 to the epic Serra de Tramuntana SDT ultra, this month the mountains come alive with sport, making Sóller the true heart of the action.

If you are staying at one of our hotels, the Mercat Municipal de Sóller is a must-visit. Located in the heart of the picturesque town of Sóller, just a short walk from each of our hotels, this market combines tradition, gastronomy, and local culture, offering an authentic experience you won’t find in supermarkets or tourist shops.

Mallorca is an island full of contrasts, where every corner holds a unique history. Right in the centre of Palma, Hotel Saratoga has become a reference point for hospitality, culture and art since 1962, especially renowned for its famous Sky Bar with panoramic views and its gastronomic restaurant L'Àtic Restaurant.

If there is one fruit that defines the Sóller Valley, it is undoubtedly the orange. For centuries, this citrus fruit has been the backbone of the local economy, traveling by boat to France and other corners of Europe from the port of Sóller. Today, it remains a symbol of our land, an experience not to be missed during your visit.
