Starting with a splash of Mallorca’s charm, the Cocktail Course Mallorca in Cala d’Or offers more than just mixing drinks — it’s a full sensory experience.

Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, this activity promises a lively, authentic taste of Mallorca’s modern day leisure.
