A stylish seasonal guide to minimoons that keep the romance alive—starting with sun-kissed Spain in May and June.

Set off on a quick getaway to keep that post-wedding glow alive. Minimoons are the perfect mini escape after the big day — all about making those first special memories as newlyweds (before reality kicks in) in just a few days.
There’s an ideal destination for every kind of couple, no matter the season. Just like we update our wardrobes with the changing weather, our travel plans deserve a seasonal refresh too. From snow-capped mountains to sun-soaked deserts, here’s a chic, curated guide to minimoons for every month of the year — each one promising an unforgettable escape.

When it comes to Spain, I always tell people to skip the buzz and follow the aesthetics. May, in particular, is magic. The sun is soft, the crowds are thin, and cities like Mallorca or Seville unfold at their rhythm. Mallorca or Majorca feels like Ibiza’s more grounded, quieter sister. It’s got the beaches, the culinary flair, and the world-class hotels, but with less of a fuss. Unwind, reconnect, and experience Mediterranean charm without the chaos with your partner.
In the Tramuntana mountains in Deià, Belmond La Residencia serves as Mallorca’s bohemian luxury destination. It’s all about artistic spirit, candlelit dinners at El Olivo, and slow mornings surrounded by olive groves. Their wellness treatment, like the Citrus Siesta massage or a painting class with the in-house artist, will transform your stay into a newlywed dream.
If you’re looking for a more contemporary resort experience, this is your spot. It has rooftop terraces, suites with private pools, and eight swimming pools for your leisure. It’s laid-back luxury with Mediterranean soul, perfect for lazy pool days and indulgent evenings.
Want to book a space where you can tuck yourself away with your life partner? The Cap Rocat offers the ultimate ‘do not disturb’ atmosphere with its restored fortress exteriors. Built into the cliffs of a protected natural area, this is where heritage meets minimalism. If walls could talk, these would only whisper.

Food in Mallorca is connected to its dramatic landscapes. The best meals here are all about simplicity done right: ultra-fresh seafood, local produce, and Mediterranean flavours presented with minimal fuss. These restaurants let the setting do the talking, often pairing rustic charm or contemporary design with sweeping views of the ocean. Dine outdoors, feel the breeze, and indulge in dishes that celebrate the island’s natural bounty.

A golden-hour dream with Mediterranean cuisine (and has been since the 70s), standout seafood, and a view that’s as good as the wine list. Come for the sunset, stay for the great service and perfectly grilled octopus.

This is a Mallorcan rite of passage for every visitor. A cliffside restaurant with a cinematic open-air design, whose flavour palettes lean towards simple, authentic ingredients. Expect their catch of the day to simply be grilled and served with nothing more than a lemon (and, of course, a view). PS. Bring your swimsuit as you can also dive off a cliff before lunch!

Spain in May calls for airy linen co-ords, flowing dresses from a brand like Morton Mac or Celia B, and wide-brimmed hats. It’s understated Spanish elegance that’s relaxed and, at the same time, refined.
A concept store-meets-culture hub that defines modern Mallorcan lifestyle. From homeware to cool fashion picks, exclusive perfumes to art, it’s curated for the well-travelled with a taste for the unusual.
Born in La Coruña, Masscob is for the woman who dresses with instinct. Think feminine silhouettes, subtle tailoring, and an earthy, romantic aesthetic grounded in fluid fabric and wearable tones. Their designs are classic but with a touch of quiet personality that’s unique.
Founded by Rosa Esteva, Cortana is slow fashion rooted in the Mediterranean. Their collections are crafted from silks, linens, and sustainable fabrics that flow beautifully. Every print is a piece of art, many handcrafted by Rosa herself.
