Camp de Mar, one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca

In Mallorca, choosing just one beach is quite a complicated task. The beaches are very diverse and they exist for all tastes, demands and needs. In Mallorca there are fine sandy beaches, rocky beaches, secluded beaches, easily accessible beaches and those that face north, south, east or west. Beaches that, without exception, look like a little piece of paradise on earth.Among them all, there is one that keeps appearing on lists of Mallorca's...

Discover Son Marroig

Majorca is a wonderful scenario to turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary. Maybe that is why many people choose this island to experience one of their most important days: their wedding.Weddings in Majorca are special. Any spot, any cove, any vintage country house full of history becomes the perfect scenario for a special day.There is, however, one place that has become a favorite for couples to say I do: Son Marroig. The views of...

Mallorca's most important cultural and historical festivities

Getting to know a place is like getting to know a person. It requires time, interest, a curious eye and, of course, discovering the reason for one's passions. A person, just like a city, a neighbourhood or a country, is characterised by what they love. In Mallorca, apart from our landscape, our gastronomy, our villages and towns, we love above all our festivals. Mallorca has an infinite number of cultural and historical festivals that are...

Galets, the stuffed Christmas soup

This Christmas is going to be different. Everything, the lunches, the dinners, the meetings and the lack of travel. A celebration marked by restrictions and separated families.Families that in some cases come together on a screen that turns the hugs into a still, distant image. Families who separate now so that they can come together later.However, at Monport we believe that there are some traditions that should not be lost. For example, in the...

Cycling routes through the most beautiful villages on the island

Although Mallorca is still known throughout the world mainly for its beaches with crystal clear waters, more and more cyclists visit the island, attracted by its nature, its roads and the infinite number of dream routes that can be covered by bicycle.We do not know if it is because of the weather, the mountains and plains or the variety of landscapes, but Mallorca is one of the most popular destinations for cyclists. We at Monport, faithful...

Enjoying the last sunrays

Even though summer said goodbye to us a month ago, the Majorcan thermometer does not give up.The 23 degrees during the day allow us to continue enjoying the sun, warm temperatures and leisure activities in nature. This is why we at Monport would like to propose plans that will allow you to enjoy the last (if they really are the last) rays of sunshine in Mallorca.

Excursions from Andratx

September is here and many of you have already decided to keep your towels and sunscreens until next year. Despite the mild temperatures and sunny days, your thoughts are already drifting away from the beach. The marathon days with sun, salt, boats and tanned skin are becoming increasingly rare. The routine, the blissful routine, takes its toll on the beach lovers. The return to school, to the office and to everyday life seems to herald the...

Teleworking in the Monport while enjoying the Majorcan paradise

Traveling is a pleasure, we (almost) all agree on that.Honeymoon trips, family trips, group trips or trips with friends. However, there is one type of travel, business travel, that not everyone gets along well with.Being away from family, tiredness from the flight or the drive, stress from work or simply not being at home for a few days can all be negative factors.At Mon Hotels, however, we want to change the dynamic. We want those of you who...

The most photographed beaches in Mallorca

The desire to take a photo (and share it on social media) is proportional to the beauty of the snapshot in front of our eyes. The more beautiful, the more we want to take pictures and share them on our social networks.In the digital and hyperlinked era, we live in, it is common to share (almost) everything we do. A kind of logbook for those who are still at home waiting for their vacation, their relaxation or their plans to boast.Mallorca is...

Breakfasts on the porch, aperitifs at the bar, dips into the pool, walks among palm trees and dinners to the rhythm of a piano.Until a few days ago, it was only our imagination to enjoy such moments in the Mon Port Hotel & Spa.

Spots worth waiting for

Waiting is not easy. Waiting with no certainty or deadlines. Waiting when one is looking forward to changing and moving.For example, waiting for 9 months of pregnancy, for the summer to come, or for our turn in an endless queue. Waiting for a call, for a verdict, or for the holidays to come.Waiting is usually unpleasant, let alone if that timeframe separates us from Majorca, the paradise between the sea and the sky we were yearning for that we...

Traveling through books

Journeying through books is one of our most favourite adventures. To immerse ourselves in the smell of its pages, to dive among its stories and characters, to nest among its lyrics and to let ourselves be carried as far as our thoughts desire.Reading stimulates imagination and culture, curiosity and creativity, it has the power to make us fly far away.Next April 23rd will be the World Book Day and, in spite of not being able to walk through the...

Cooking to overcome quarantine

Even though many people currently believe that the calendar no longer determines our days, or that it no longer matters whether it is night or day, we are among those who believe that time is more important now than ever. Schedules and routines (welcome routines) help us to structure the weeks and create a certain normality that helps us to overcome this situation.Reading, doing sports, cleaning, tidying up, working from home, watching movies...

Things that make us happy

It's time to think about nice things. Things that, although it seems impossible now, we are going to feel again soon. Very soon.Now is the time of thinking about things and situations that will make us move away from the house that each time seems smaller. From these narrower and narrower walls and is increasingly acute anguish. It is time to allow our imagination to returns and our senses to become more acute. It's time to savour that routine...

MON PORT renews and renovates the rooms

New things have the ability to evoke new principles and possibilities, happiness and the...

Celebrate Carnival in Mallorca

Some say that masks and body paint were used to scare away the gods of the bad harvest. The disguise was part of a ritual that heralded a good year in the fields and at harvest time. Others claim that it is a tradition that dates back to Roman times and has spread throughout much of the world with the return of the sailors to their homes.There are also those who claim that its origins go back to Christianity and all those people who used it to...

How to get your health back on track after the holidays

The MonHotels team has decided to face the year 2020 and give sport the importance it deserves. That means a lot. The...

Christmas Kitchen

Majorca has a special flavour all year round, but at Christmas it will certainly be even more intense. Nuances, tradition and history take centre stage.Majorca tastes of "galets" (type of pasta shaped like a snail), "porcella" (suckling pig) and almond nougat. Majorca tastes like "Misa del gallo" (midnight mass on Christmas Eve) and "Canelones de Sant Esteve" (traditional Christmas dish). Christmas has the virtue of gathering us around a table...
