We at le Luxure know that Mallorca is more than sun and sea — it is an island where fire, music, and tradition breathe life into every season. Let's explore Mallorca beyond the postcard image, from the haunting chant of the Sibil·la on Christmas Eve to the fiery chaos of Sant Joan, where devils dance through the streets before thousands plunge into the midnight sea, each festival is a living thread in the island’s story.

Step with le Luxure into Palma’s old town, and you’ll find yourself walking through a labyrinth of narrow streets, where golden sandstone façades conceal more than just family histories—they hide entire worlds. Behind heavy wooden doors and wrought-iron grilles lie Palma’s secret courtyards, or patios: hushed sanctuaries where time slows, arches cast moving shadows, stone staircases spiral upward like a silent invitation, and centuries of whispered stories linger in the air. Neither entirely public nor wholly private, but timeless refuges where Mallorca’s history rests in stone and shadow.

Tourist or Traveler? Unpacking the Journey

Dive in with le Luxure if you ever wondered if you're a tourist or a traveler? It's a distinction that often sparks debate, conjuring images of bus tours versus backpack adventures. While a tourist might seek comfort and well-trodden paths, checking off famous landmarks, a traveler is often portrayed as someone yearning for deeper cultural immersion, ready to venture off the beaten path in pursuit of genuine understanding and personal growth. But as we explore in this episode, these labels are more fluid than you might think, and the media often plays a big role in shaping our perceptions of each.
