48 hours to turn a London business trip into a Mallorca weekend. Full breakdown.
Just wrapped up a crazy 6 day split. 2 days of corporate meetings in London followed by 4 days in Mallorca. Transitioning from a freezing office to the beach in one bag was a feat, but I made it.
Route: London (2 days) to Palma de Mallorca (4 days)
Budget breakdown:
Flights (Multi city NYC-LHR-PMI-NYC): $1,050 (May prices are peaking)
Accommodation: $1,180 (Central London boutique hotels are easily £200+/night right now)
Food: $480 (London dining is expensive, Mallorca is better value)
Transport: $110 (Heathrow Express + Palma taxis)
What I packed:
Theory tailored blazer, 2 everlane slacks, 2 silk camis
3 reformation linen dresses, hunza G swimwear
Gucci loafers + veja sneakers
MacBook, Kindle, and a small travel steamer
Used level 8's carry on for packing all of it.
Unpopular Opinion:
London’s aesthetic pubs are usually a tourist trap. Find the dingiest looking corner pub with no Instagram following if you actually want a good pint and a conversation that isn't shouted over a DJ.
