Catching the sun as it bursts through the cloud. Crystal clear views to the island of Cabrera. Finishing our morning expedition with a delicious arroz meloso for lunch. ✨Savoring these moments of tranquil bliss. 📍S'Estañyol (at S'Estañyol, Islas Baleares, Spain)

WHERE WE EAT: Pizza Lovers Unite, this quirky little Restaurant is the BOMBA. We go through phases of exploring the island and we have been combing through the town of Genova recently to find good eats! Pizza and Pa amb Oli's is what you can find at Sa Ximbomba and they are done to perfection. The interior Restaurant is fun, like being in an Italian/Mallorcan Carnival hosted by a French Beetlejuice. The exterior courtyard is where they have their Naples style pizza oven and a bougainvillea draped patio to enjoy during the summer months. We had the starter of burrata (which in all honesty was served very cold and didn't let the cheese really showcase it's gorgeous creamy center) and shared 2 of the speciality pizzas. This place is the ultimate spot for a date night, so make sure to book a table in advance and indulge in a glass of Prosecco. 📍Camí dels Reis, 50, Genova. 📞 [phone] #ltmtips : The Pizza Frita is the thing to get here, it's a deep fried calzone. #whereweEAT #MallorcaRestaurants #PalmaRestaurants #pizzadatenight #ltmmallorca (at Sa Ximbomba)

Making it to the vineyard to pick up freshly bottled White Wine for our Thanksgiving Dinner just before the heavens open up and make it rain! Now safely inside baking pecan pies and other seasonal goodies for our dinner on Friday! . . . . . #ltmevents #luxtastemaker #thanksgivinginmallorca #winerytour #friendsgivingdinner #privatechefmallorca (at Sancellas, Islas Baleares, Spain)

My newly updated website. Easy to book activities on the island as well as send holiday foodie gifts to love ones from the best island in Europe. ✨ (at Plaça Weyler • Palma)

Extremely crispy, not overly spiced pekin duck. By far the most superior of Chinese meals I've had on the island thus far. My only complaint, I would have loved the pancakes to be steamed in a basket and served inside. This would keep them warm throughout the meal. Can't have it all. Also worth trying were the judias verdes salteadas. So savory and rich, smothered in oyster sauce. The menu is super large so am thinking my fellow instagramers who love food, why don't we all meet for lunch? . . . . . #ltmmallorca #ConciergeMallorca #traveldesigner #foodblogger #whereweeat #pekinduck #mallorcaisland #foodieclubmallorca #palmademallorca #mallorcarestaurants (at Restaurante KIRIN)

Ahhh... Sunday Brunch with a Thai Style Bloody Mary. The addition of kaffir lime really gives this a much needed lift of freshness. #ltmmallorca #ltmtips #bloodymary #sundayfunday #brunch #santacatalina (at Palma De Mallorca, Spain)

It's finally raining on our little island and all the locals could not be happier. If you are on holiday, we are sorry but only a little bit as we are in a serious water drought! But don't worry tomorrow is Sunday and will once again be beautiful! ☀️ #ltmmallorca #traveldesigner (at Paseo del Borne)

I have a weakness for shoes, I love them all! What if I told you that there is a tiny shop in Palma de Mallorca where you can fully customize your perfect sandal! Pick from a wide variety of leather, and adding the right amount of bling all with Swarovski crystals. Not only will you have a unique sandal but something you can wear while home for years to come. Isn't that the ultimate souvenir? #ltmmallorca #ltmtips #luxurysouvenir #persuepretty #thehappynow (at Jaime |||)

✖️WHERE WE EAT✖️ The power of social media, someone at this Restaurant is winning at the game, especially Instagram where high quality images will always attract costumers. This does not always translate into what you actually get when you step foot in the establishment. Ca Na Marola delivers above and beyond those mouth watering photos you see online. #ltmMallorca #MallorcaRestaurants #whereweEAT #seafoodcooking #cuinamarinera #traveldesigner #berberechos 📸Link for the whole story: http://www.luxurytastemaker.com/mallorca/2016/9/8/ca-na-marola-restaurant-sestanyol-de-migjorn (at Ca Na Marola)

No place I'd rather be. I'll be honest and say that Port Andratx has surprised me the most and was never a place I had spent much time. Although this year the number of Restaurants that have popped up and the high quality of food and service keep me coming back. Here's a behind the scenes shot of moi, doing what I do best.

It's Wine Wednesday and we're still drinking summer water, Rosé! The very pale color of this wine is deceiving as the flavor is much more bold with juicy stone fruits and a burst of grapefruit. Provence Style Rosé are always an LTM favorite for hot summers in the Mediterranean. #ltmmallorca #rosé #winewednesday #côtesdeprovence #vinorosado (at Palma De Mallorca, Spain)
