Getting to Mallorca 

Mallorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is well-connected and accessible from major cities across Europe. The primary gateway to the island is Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), which serves both domestic and international flights. 

From cities like London, Berlin, or Paris, direct flights to Palma are frequent and convenient, with flight times typically ranging between 2 to 3 hours. Once you arrive at Palma Airport, there are several options to reach The Lodge Mallorca. 

Renting a car is highly recommended, as it provides the flexibility to explore the island at your own pace. The drive from Palma to Pollença takes approximately 45 minutes via the Ma-13 highway, a scenic route that showcases Mallorca’s diverse landscapes. Alternatively, private transfers can be arranged for those seeking a seamless and stress-free journey. 

For travelers already in Spain, ferry services from Barcelona or Valencia to Palma offer a leisurely way to reach the island, with crossing times averaging 7-8 hours. This option allows you to enjoy panoramic views of the Mediterranean and arrive with your own vehicle if desired. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, it is recommended to contact the hotel directly or visit their official website.
