Have you ever wanted to visit those vacation spots highlighted in travel magazines and voted ‘Best of the Best’ by travelers or that have been deemed as one of the top 5 destinations in Europe that should not be missed out on but thought it an impossible feat? Then think again.
The island of Mallorca just off the coast of Spain has been voted and considered as one of the top 20 ranking members in the world of ultimate holiday destinations, and for good reasons too.
The Playa de Muro beach is not only the best that Spain has to offer, but you have the luxury of horse riding along the beach (from November time right through until March) with the sand whipping up around you and the sea breeze blowing through your hair. Something from a movie, only you get to experience it for yourself. Who said heaven couldn’t be experienced on earth, right?
Can you think of anything more exhilarating or adventurous than enjoying a stroll on the beach (on the back of a horse no less) along the water’s edge as the sun beams down over you? Or a sunset trot horse riding with a loved one watching the sun sink behind the horizon? Nothing says dream holiday quite like it, and now you can enjoy fun in the sun at your leisure by visiting the glorious island of Mallorca out of the summer season.
Fun, fitness and so much more
You may not realize it but horse riding comes with a whole host of perks, but it also offers a lot of physical and emotional support that is often overlooked, and even more so while on holiday. Visiting Mallorca and embarking on a beach horse ride will be an unforgettable trip and you soon begin to appreciate the beauty these animals have to offer. Let’s jump in and see a handful of reasons why so many tourists and visitors to the island love spending a day filled with horse riding and how it can take your vacation to the next level.
Companionship – As social creatures horses enjoy interaction as much as humans, and many studies have found that spending time with horses reenergizes your positive energy levels and increases your confidence level.
Psychological and physical health – Let’s not forget that horses are the epitome of strength and maneuvering them from side to side and staying upright takes a lot of work and ensures your muscles get a good workout for the day, a fun way to stay in shape while on holiday. And when all is going smoothly along the ride it evokes positive feelings from within so you are looking and feeling good at the same time. Win-win.
Socialization – If you are traveling solo or are a social couple then this is just the activity for you. Meeting people on vacation can be daunting, but with a fun interactive activity such as Mallorca horse riding on the beach, you can’t go wrong. Get to know others while you ride, chat along the path, and afterward, head to the bar for cocktails or sundowners.
Nature and Relaxation – Staying in the hotel while vacationing can quickly become monotonous so why not get outdoors in the fresh air, amongst the beauty of nature seen from atop a horse? Let the stress wash away as you listen to the sounds of the hooves gently walking along the path toward the beach and the increasing approaching sounds of the ocean buzz and activities.
Not your usual cup of tea
Most people when they know they are going abroad look for the top tourist activity and try their best to make it happen, but doing what is expected for a destination often means missing out on treasures such as horse riding on the beach, and even more so when your back drop is the idyllic Mallorca landscapes.
This upcoming year why not consider something new for the family or for you and your partner to experience together, and book a beach horse riding session. Life is worth living and when it means traveling the world and exploring and discovering new adventures along the way, a horse ride on the beach is certainly at the top of the list of things to tick off on the bucket list.
Mallorca is naturally beautiful and with a relaxing excursion added into the mix, you can be sure it will be a trip nt only worth repeating but unforgettably memorable.
