Majorca is Having a Moment. You Should be on a Boat for It
Ever found a destination’s journey from secret idyll to place-of-the-moment irritating? Take Majorca.

We Need to Talk About Doing Absolutely Nothing. (Properly.)
There’s something in the air (other than 80% humidity). The cultural mood has shifted. The girls are no longer quietly getting on with it. They’re booking the trip. They’re ordering the oysters. They’re driving home with the windows down, music up, not answering to anyone.
