Almond blossom –
When the worst of the Mallorca winter is finally subsided, and the sky is blue with a touch of liveliness, the island is nothing but hundred and a thousand's mixture of approximate four million almond trees, decorating the place, then yes you are in Mallorca in its late winter and it is indeed time for bliss. The story says that these were once planted by a Moorish ruler, who wanted to woo his Scandinavian queen, who was tired of winter around her. The late winters in Mallorca is the perfect time for a wonderful occasion for stately homes, now turned into luxury hotel, offering the best of the best spa experience.
Golf-
When summers are more of swimming and surfing, why not use the winter to catch up with some golf lessons? The golf courses of Mallorca offer the best of the instructorsand golf courses, with slashed price. The upmarket Son Vida on the outskirts of Palma, is a must for all golf lovers. Also indulge in the three courses, Son Quint, Son Vida and Son Muntaner, the best places, also very close to the airport.
Tramuntana hike-
Away from the city's hustle-bustle, the quiet and quaint Tramuntana mountain range is a hiker's paradise. This range of mountain remains untouched treasure, and is completely unknown to visitors. Declared a world heritage site by the UNESCO in the year 2011, this is perhaps one of the best things to do in Mallorca's mid winter vacation. A fabulous place, situated almost on the trail, many hotels and guest houses remain open throughout the winter, providing hostel services with limited private rooms.
