4. Mallorca, Spain

Cala d'Or, in Mallorca, is located on the eastern side of the island — which has the highest concentration of beaches in the entire region. Most of them are surrounded by rocky cliffs, with little to no sandy areas at all. What they all have in common: the mind-blowing color of the water. It's turquoise blue and green, depending on how deep into the sea you are.

The city center is a maze of warm-toned facades, narrow alleys, and unexpected patches of light that spill between stone walls. Every corner feels staged: balconies with overgrown plants, gothic arches, the quiet echo of footsteps. It’s easy to get lost — and that’s the point:

It’s a city that opens itself gradually — from the shade of medieval streets to the bright, open horizon. The past feels close, but the breeze keeps everything moving.
