Mallorca is a unique place, rich in heritage, tradition, and a deep respect for its roots and what makes it special. Here, we know how to preserve the authentic, and when you walk through Palma, it quickly becomes clear: every market, every neighbourhood shop, every artisanal workshop holds a piece of this land, a piece of who we are. So, when it’s time to head home, it’s only natural to want to take a piece of Mallorca with you, making the experience last a little longer. Today, we’d like to recommend some of our favourite local products to bring home.
The best part? If you’re staying at MHouse, you’re right in the heart of Palma’s Old Town, just a short walk from neighbourhood boutiques, traditional ‘botigas’, and a bustling market where you’ll find the best local products to fit in your suitcase.
The flavours of Mallorca
The island’s gastronomy is a reflection of its character: honest, artisanal, and full of nuance. Here are a few products we think you’ll love:
Flor de Sal d’Es Trenc: A must-have in Majorcan cuisine. Hand‑harvested from the salt flats of Es Trenc, in Mallorca’s Southeast, this salt stands out for its purity and unique texture, making it the perfect way to add a special finish to any dish and a piece of the Mediterranean to your kitchen.
Son Moragues Olive Oil: An olive oil rooted in the Serra de Tramuntana and made from olives grown on historic estates. Its distinctive aroma and rich flavour make it a true treasure for any table.
‘Trencades’ olives: A classic snack in Mallorca. Split to soak up every bit of brine and Mediterranean flavour, these olives are the ideal bite to remember the island when you’re back home.
Vacuum‑sealed ‘Jamón’ from Mercado del Olivar: At the Mercado del Olivar, you’ll find a carefully selected range of Iberian hams - sealed and ready for travel. Perfect for extending the gourmet experience long after you’ve left the island.
Majorcan craftsmanship
If you’re looking for a handcrafted piece to take home, Mallorca’s heritage lives on in every workshop and artisanal piece. Here, craftsmanship isn’t just a trade, it’s a way to preserve the island’s memory and turn it into timeless objects. By choosing one of these pieces, you’re supporting local artisans and a sustainable, circular approach.
Majorcan Baskets: Hand‑woven from palm leaves, these baskets are a timeless piece of the island. Simple, beautiful, and practical, you can find them in the small shops along Calle San Miguel, just steps from the hotel.
The famous ‘roba de llengües’ fabrics: This traditional fabric, so present in Majorcan décor, can be found in cushion covers, tablecloths, or accessories that add a Mediterranean flair to any space, ideal for a gift or a piece of your own home.
Blown glass: The art of glassblowing in Mallorca is a tradition that goes back centuries, when the first workshops began shaping molten glass by the heat of the furnace, creating pieces as beautiful as they were functional. Through generations, this craft has been kept alive on the island, combining skill, patience, and a unique magic that captures the light and colour of the Mediterranean. Today, this heritage lives on in places like Lafiore, where you can take home a piece of the island: handcrafted, full of character, and carefully packed to arrive safely at its destination.
Natural skincare from Mallorca
The Mediterranean sun, rich soil, and mild climate make Mallorca the perfect setting for creating unique natural skincare products. Here, local plants like aloe vera, lavender, and rosemary flourish, and artisanal hands transform these ingredients into beauty products that care for your skin while sharing the very essence of the island. Far from mass production, Majorcan skincare embraces quality, locality, and a deep connection to the land.
Balealoe: At a finca in Pina (Algaida), two friends cultivate aloe vera Barbadensis Miller completely organically - free of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Here, aloe plants coexist with sheep and ducks, naturally maintaining a balanced environment. Their ecological line, L’Àloeb, uses highly concentrated aloe gel, cold-pressed and handcrafted to preserve its hydrating and regenerating properties, making it ideal for those looking for a skincare routine rooted in nature.
Tot Herba: Since 1976, Tot Herba has been crafting natural skincare in Mallorca, using Mediterranean ingredients and a strong focus on sustainability. That’s why we’ve chosen their products for MHouse, so you can care for your skin with the true essence of the island.
Art and artists from Mallorca
Mallorca has long inspired creative spirits. In Palma, you’ll find galleries and studios featuring works by celebrated artists such as Joan Miró, Rafa Forteza, and Miquel Barceló, as well as a new wave of local talents that make every visit a rich, cultural experience.
