MALLORCA, STORY OF A LOVE STORY
We all have our reasons for moving to an island — the laid-back rhythm, the slower pace, the desire to leave something behind, or perhaps a more primal calling toward our roots.
After several years of living in cold, rainy Holland, I felt an undeniable pull — a need for light, for change of scenery, for vitamin sea.
History
It was that very human disposition towards containedness combined with that magnetic attraction to the water that immediately drew me toward island life.
Pam Allen
Falling in love with a place is is not so different from falling in love with a person. Mallorca was like love at first sight, that instant connection that gives you a sense of coming home. And like when you are in love with a person, the deeper you feel, the more you want to see, know, explore, discover. I was never one to go straight from A to B.
A view, a hidden path, a dramatic landscape — something always called me to pause, to wander, to explore.The more I uncovered, the clearer it became: moving here was one of the best decisions of my life. With its breathtaking nature, vibrant lifestyle, exceptional food, endless light, and cosmopolitan spirit, Mallorca offered not just beauty, but renewal. A true relaunch.
