Mallorca is more than just a holiday.

More than beaches, clubs, and tourist hotspots.

This is where Unexpected Mallorca begins – a project that shows the island as it truly is: diverse, surprising, and honest.
Not a glossy postcard image, but a real place with hidden trails, unknown perspectives, and small stories along the way.

Why I’m doing this

I live on the island.
And I’m discovering it – piece by piece.
On foot, by bus, by bike, or underwater.
And I’ve noticed something: Mallorca only reveals itself to those who look closer.

That’s exactly what I want to share here – with you.
No PR slogans, no travel guide clichés.
Just real impressions, tips, and observations.

What you’ll find on this blog

I’ll take you along on my journeys:

• Hidden coves and beaches
• Hikes with breathtaking views – without the crowds
• Dive sites with history, not just fish
• Villages where time seems to stand still
• Tips for those who want to live here – or already do

Every week, a new post is created – with words and pictures.
Sometimes practical. Sometimes poetic. Always personal.

The symbol – UXM

My logo is more than just a mark.
It’s the symbol of what truly defines Mallorca:

• Water. Wind. Sun. Mountains.
• A human figure with open arms – open to what may come.
• The letters UXM – standing for Unexpected Mallorca.
• And colors that evoke sunsets and flags – Mallorcan, Spanish, Balearic.

The logo stands for discovery. For curiosity. For new perspectives.
That’s the core idea of this blog.

A bit of transparency

I don’t get paid by hotels, agencies, or tourism companies to write content.
But yes – on some pages, you’ll find affiliate links.
If you book or buy something through them, it won’t cost you anything –
but it helps fund this project in the long term.
Because what began as a hobby deserves to grow.

Who is this for?

For everyone who’s looking for more than a vacation.
For everyone who wants to look behind the scenes.
For explorers, expats, adventurers, minimalists – or simply the curious.
