Islands we love

At Paupa, we believe in enjoying every moment of life. That’s why, whenever we find an island that vibes with our essence, we want to share it with you. For this summer — or the next.

 

Mallorca, Spain

A timeless classic that never disappoints. But if you look with fresh eyes, it always surprises. As my dad used to say: “Mallorca is like a pig — nothing goes to waste” 😂. From wide white-sand beaches to hidden coves tucked between pines and cliffs.

Some of our favorites:

  • Es Carbó Beach
  • Cala Tuent
  • Cala Torta
  • Trip to Cabrera

 

Elba, Italy

A Tuscan gem in the Mediterranean. Small, elegant, and full of surprises. Elba is perfect if you're into crystal-clear waters, quiet villages, and golden sunsets with a glass of wine in hand. Ideal for bike rides, good food, and getting lost in hidden coves.

Our top spots:

  • Laconella
  • Barabarca
  • Pareti
  • Fetovaia


Kalymnos, Greece

Wild and peaceful, Kalymnos island is for bold, curious women. Famous among climbers for its cliffs, known for its sea sponges… and beloved for its turquoise beaches and seaside tavernas. Everything here is simple, warm, and authentic.

Don’t miss:

  • Emporios Beach
  • Arginonta Beach
  • Palionnisos
  • Day trip to Telendos


Menorca, Spain

The quiet soul of the Mediterranean. Menorca is for those who love to walk barefoot, read under a pine tree, and swim in turquoise waters without looking at the clock. An island to reconnect with the essentials: the sea, your people, yourself.

Our Paupa picks:

  • A swim at Cala Torret and lunch at Paupa — the spot that inspired our brand and swimwear
  • Playa Binibeca Vell
  • Cala Binidalí (swing by Som Sis for a drink)
  • Cala Turqueta
  • Isla del Aire

PS: For something a bit more active, try a stretch of the Camí de Cavalls.

 

Pantelleria, Italy

Pantelleria isn’t for everyone — but if it clicks, you’ll never forget it. Known as the “black pearl,” it’s a volcanic island between Sicily and Tunisia. No traditional beaches, but endless places to dive in. Think dammusi houses, slow days, and yes —brioche with gelato is a must 😋

Go for a swim at:

  • Arco dell’Elefante
  • Balata dei Turchi
  • Laghetto delle Ondine
  • Cala Tramontana
