Costa Nord Cultural Centre

Culture with a Hollywood Touch

Michael Douglas’ Tribute to Mallorca

Perched on a hillside overlooking Valldemossa, the Costa Nord Cultural Centre was founded in 2000 by Hollywood actor Michael Douglas, who has long had a home on the island. He created the centre as a way to celebrate and protect the cultural and natural heritage of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape. Today, it stands as one of Valldemossa’s most modern cultural venues.

Exhibitions and Multimedia Experiences

Inside the centre, visitors can explore engaging multimedia presentations that bring to life the history, traditions, and landscapes of Mallorca’s north coast. Exhibits cover everything from the region’s agriculture and seafaring history to its unique architecture and cultural identity. Audio-visual shows narrated by Douglas himself introduce visitors to the beauty of the Tramuntana in an immersive way.

A Space for Events and Music

The Costa Nord also doubles as a venue for concerts, lectures, and cultural events throughout the year. Its modern auditorium and exhibition spaces regularly host performances ranging from classical music to local folk traditions, making it a lively hub that complements the historic sites of the village.

A Modern Contrast in a Historic Village

For those exploring Valldemossa’s cobbled streets and ancient monastery, the Costa Nord Cultural Centre provides a refreshing contrast. It offers a contemporary lens on Mallorca’s identity while still rooted in tradition, making it an ideal stop for visitors who want to understand the island beyond its historic landmarks. The centre’s terrace café also provides excellent views over the valley.
