Solo In Style:
Women over 50 travelling solo and loving it!
Join our Solo In Style Mallorca Getaway, curated by Deborah Ives, founder of Solo In Style, and Laura Cozik, founder of Mallorca by Design. In December it's a purely local and festive experience.
​
8 Women are Welcome
Live On An Olive Farm...
Mallorca in winter is warm and wonderful ... and the natural scenery of the island is "evergreen". Festive lights are twinkling in all of the villages, olives are in season, and the locals come out to play in the spirit of the holidays. The journey begins with five nights on a breathtaking olive farm. Each guest has their own room with private outdoor space ... and we are the only guests of the hotel. The idea is that it feels like home to our tribe of Solo In Style sisters. We then head to the city of Palma to spend four nights in a newly renovated 17th century palace, previously the home of a famous artist. Agriculture, local experiences, food, culture, art and holiday markets are the focus. The abundant winter sunshine and exceptional lack of tourism are simply the icing on the cake.

This Getaway Is For You If...
Mother nature and her creations are irresistible to you. Historic walks through the past awaken your curiosity. You love dining alfresco. Visiting local markets to taste everything in season rocks your socks. Temperatures 60-70 fahrenheit or 15-20 celcius is your comfort zone. You adore hiking and exploring. An immersion into the production of olive oil, sea salt and almonds sounds magical. While you are excited about meeting women like you, you also fancy a bit of solo time. A barefoot walk on the beach feels like the most lavish experience. You prefer to mingle with locals and immerse yourself in their way of life. Traveling with an intimate group of like-minded women is your jam. There will be a good amount of walking, so comfortable shoes and an appropriate level of fitness is required.
Your Hosts...
How often is it that you go on holiday with the founder of your chosen travel tribe? The founder of Mallorca by Design, who has been a local resident for 7 years, will be joining every planned moment of this experience with you. There are unplanned moments as well, giving guests the freedom to explore solo. Laura has been hosting events and spending the shoulder seasons in Mallorca since 2010, then in 2018 she finally packed her bags and left New York City to live on an olive farm. Her focus is always on the most unique experiences ... you’re in for an unforgettable adventure.

Construction of Castell de Bellver began in 1300 under the rule of King Jaume II. It was intended to be a royal residence, but only two kings ever spent time here. In 1717 it became a military prison, and was used in both the Napoleonic and Spanish Civil Wars. Lunch is then solo. In the evening we visit the highly anticipated Pueblo Español Christmas Market for some warm wine, live music, crafts and keepsake ornaments.

December in Mallorca is the ideal time. Temperatures are between 60-70 degrees fahrenheit during the day (15-20 celcius), and 50-55 in the evenings (10-13).
