The 10 Best Architectural Buildings in Majorca, Balearic Islands

May 17, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

The dreamy island that provided inspiration to Chopin and Miró now has a reputation as a spring break beach destination. Don't worry, though, if you're vacationing over elementary school spring break-- there's plenty for the younger crowd. Marineland's dolphin and sea lion shows and children's beach attract families. And if you have a Thomas-obsessed toddler, the antique train that travels between Palma and Soller is a must-see.

Edifici Casasayas

Reviewed By Hotel_III - Palma de Mallorca, Spain

These two buildings were designed simultaneously in 1908 and 1909, and are separated by a narrow street. The buildings have matching façades strongly influenced by Modernist and Art Nouveau styles. The famous Catalan architect Gaudí’s influence is also strongly evident in the parabolic window and doorway arches, as well as the undulating style of the building.

Santuari de Cura

Reviewed By Technosaurus - Aspatria, United Kingdom

From the pretty little timewarp town of Randa, a 5km winding road engineered into the hillside (accessible by car, bike, or marked off-road hiking trails) brings you to this magnificent old monastery. The buildings are impressive, the views must be the best on Majorca, and the site has been adapted well for the modern visitor, with parking for cars and bikes, toilets, a restaurant with an extensive menu and indoor and courtyard seating, and a snack bar. Well worth a visit.

Convento de Santa Clara

Reviewed By Aperitif6 - Goettingen, Germany

Already last year we came here after we read about the Convento de Santa Clara in a guide book. The church is dark, with old paintings at the walls- peaceful and spiritually. As far as I read, the community of nuns is very small and they live from things that they plant in their gardens behind, which aren'topen for guests, from donations and the sweets that they sell. Sadly I've not been there around christmas, when they offer even more things. But all around the year, one can buy selfmade chocolate bars and cookies. Now in summertime, they also sold ice cream. It's just a nice experience the way how you buy the things, as the nuns don't show themselves. Who loves quiet special places should defenitely go there!

Santuari de Lluc

Reviewed By 549JenB - London, United Kingdom

Santuari de Lluc is a lovely, peaceful place at the top of a hill and some great views. You can drive (there are some hairpin bends) or take the bus and there is a large car park at the top with several cafes. Everything is reasonably priced and it makes a nice morning or afternoon outing.
