Departure & Optional Madrid Extension

Enjoy a final breakfast at Secrets Mallorca Villamil Resort & Spa as your Spanish retreat comes to a close. After breakfast, feel free to check out at your leisure.


You may depart Mallorca at any time today. For those with international flights, we recommend connecting through Madrid, where you can either catch your onward flight home or extend your stay with a night or two in Spain’s vibrant capital city.

The retreat officially concludes this morning following breakfast. Any onward travel or accommodations beyond this point are independent unless previously arranged.

  • The Prado Museum — Explore one of the world’s finest art collections, featuring masterpieces by Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, and others.
     
  • Royal Palace of Madrid — Tour the lavish rooms and gardens of Europe’s largest functioning royal palace.
     
  • El Retiro Park — Wander through this expansive, serene park with shaded paths, a peaceful lake, and stunning glass pavilions.
     
  • Mercado de San Miguel — Sample gourmet tapas, fresh seafood, and sweet treats at this historic and bustling market.
