Ready for your holiday to Mallorca? The beautiful isle, jewel of the Mediterranean is waiting for you. With its coves and emerald waters and its breathtaking views, it has surprises in store for you.To help plan your holidays, take a look at our practical guides for a trouble-free trip.

Attractions maps

Mallorca will not fail to surprise you. Think there are only beaches to be seen? Don’t believe it… winding mountain roads, hidden caves, beautiful gardens, enchanting villages… the largest of the Balearic Islands has treats in store for you. Mysteries of the west: The rocky west coast spreads out around the small tourist port of Sóller. The limestone cliffs plunge directly into the sea and reveal splendid panoramas from Formentor and Mirador de Ses Animes. Rocky inlets open onto translucent waters and the mountains hide peaceful villages surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Deia and Valdemossa, with their ochre houses and winding roads, charm everyone who visits. These hamlets have always attracted artists and writers, such as Chopin and Georges Sand, who stayed for a memorable winter at the Charterhouse in Valdemossa. Further north, Serra de Tramuntana reveals its fabulous hiking trails for walkers of all levels, the ascent of the Puig Major and the road to the Lluc Monastery being only two examples.
 Treasures of Palma: In the south, the Bay of Palma offers miles of fine sand appreciated by tourists the world over. The city of Palma has retained traces of its occupying civilisations over the centuries, from Arabic to catholic. You can cross the centuries by visiting the Almudaina Royal Palace and Arabic baths and then La Seu, the grandiose cathedral of Palma, where the ochre vaults change colour by the hour. The Bellver Castle provides an incomparable view of the Bay of Palma. Further north, the Alfabia gardens exude melancholy having retained their original languid feel and their arbours and fountains. The Es Baluard museum displays modern works of the great Spanish artists, Picasso and Miró among them.
 East, discoveries and sports: On the east coast of Mallorca, Serra de Levant is an Eden for those who want to make the most of nature and the sea. In Arta, Drach and elsewhere, erosion has sculpted caves which are a delight for kayakers and sailors. The rocks are a host to rocky inlets of which Alcudia is the best known. Sporting types can dive the Cabrera archipelago with its rich population of sea life. Or have a tennis lesson at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Menacor (although it will set you back 1,000 euros a week).

Routes and distances maps

Do you want to organise your travel around Mallorca? By bus, train or car, our route maps will take the trials out of travelling.
 How to get there and get off the island? You can get to Mallorca by boat or by air. The ferry to Palma departs from three Spanish towns: Barcelona, Valence and Dénia. A direct service to Alcudia from Barcelona is also available. The crossing takes a few hours, or a whole night depending on whether you take the express or not. If you have driven through France to Spain, it is possible to take your car to the island. If not, it is preferable to hire a vehicle when you arrive. If you are arriving by plane, daily flights are available. Visit our ‘flights’ page and use our comparison tool to find cheap flights to Mallorca.
 How to reach the beautiful islands of Ibiza and Menorca? You have a choice if you want to visit Minorca. Either fly from Palma to Mahon. It will take 35 minutes. Or you can take the boat from Alcudia, in northernmost Mallorca, and you will arrive two hours later in Ciutadella. There is a Palma-Mahon crossing but only once a week. To get to Ibiza takes 40 minutes by plane or 3 and a half hours by boat, landing in Eivissa (Ibiza Town).
 By car: Mallorca’s roads are well-maintained and it has several motorways, but it is a mountainous island with impressively winding roads. Take care - the hairpin bends are disorienting. The Ma11 from Palma to Sóller, for example, is quite dizzying as you travel through the passes. Forty years ago, a tunnel bypass was bored out to manage the swathes of tourist. It is the only section of toll road, and should be avoided if you don’t want to pay every time you cross the island. Today you can reach Sóller from Palma in half an hour. Along the scenic roads, tourists drive slowly to take in the views, and the locals… well, they do the same. Expect your journeys to take a little longer if you are using these picturesque roads. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Andratx on the Ma1. Allow an hour to reach Alcudia from Palma on the Ma13 or to Colonia Sant Jordi on the Ma19. It takes a little longer to get to Capdepera (Ma15) and Pollença (Ma13, then secondary roads). Your UK driving license is valid for driving in Mallorca. Note that it is not possible to leave the island with a hire car, that includes trips to Ibiza and Minorca!
 Public transport: The public transport network is well developed. There is a metro in Palma and a free self-service bike scheme - the ‘Mou-Te Bé’. The Interurban public network links Mallorca’s touristic towns with many bus services from Palma. You can get to Es Arenal or Sollër in 30 minutes, for example. Give yourself an hour to get to Manacor or Alcudia, slightly longer for Andratx, Colonia de Sant Jordi ad Capdepera. Mainline departures are every 30 minutes during the day and hourly for secondary services. You can also take the train, for example for Soller or Manacor. The trains leave 4 times daily and are slower than the buses, but you will have time to admire the landscape. Finally, the tourist tram from Sóller to Port de Sóller is a must!

Mallorca travel guide: Everything you need to know

• Sofía Pozuelo
• UPDATED: 25/11/2023

Thanks to this Mallorca travel guide, you will be able to plan your trip to this incredible Mediterranean island. In this post, I have compiled a series of Mallorca travel tips that I hope will be of great help for you when preparing your trip.

You will find information on how long to spend on the island, the best time to visit Mallorca, how to get around, where to stay, things to do, etc. Also, at the end of the article I have included a map of Mallorca where I have marked all the places I'll mention.

Mallorca (Balearic Islands) is a destination that attracts millions of tourists every year. Its charming towns, coves with crystal clear waters and its charming atmosphere are irresistible to any traveler. Since so many people visit the islands, I recommend planning your trip to Mallorca in advance.

Table of contents

Best time to visit mallorca.

If you want to enjoy the coves and beaches, the best time to travel to Mallorca is between May and September, when temperatures are a bit warmer. In May, June and September, the weather is good and there are not so many people on the island. However, the sea water in May and June is much cooler.

On the other hand, during the months of July and August, especially in August, there are many visitors in Mallorca, therefore, you will not be able to get to know the island with peace of mind. Even so, if you get up early and plan everything well, you will be able to enjoy all its attractions. Another drawback of visiting Mallorca during high season is that prices are a bit higher.

My last trip to Mallorca was at the end of May. Visiting the island at this time of year was an amazing decision since, despite having a couple of slightly cloudy days, we were able to enjoy the coves and avoid large crowds.

🏥 Remember it is very important to purchase travel insurance for Spain if you don’t have medical coverage in this country. I always use and recommend the company Heymondo, where I can offer you a 5% discount on your travel insurance .

How to get to Mallorca

Mallorca is part of the Balearic Islands. Therefore, you can travel to Mallorca by plane or ferry. The most common way to visit Mallorca is by taking a flight but it may be worthwhile going by ferry.

Affordable flights to Mallorca

Flights from the Spanish peninsula to Mallorca are usually very cheap. I recommend searching for flights to travel to Mallorca on Skyscanner . When you visit the website, you will be able to see the most affordable flights to Palma de Mallorca. When buying flights, I always recommend doing it through the airline’s website.

Palma de Mallorca Airport is located approximately 10 kilometers from the center of Palma. If you are not going to rent a car at the airport, you can go to the center of Palma by taxi (it costs around €20) or by bus. If you decide to take a bus, you will have to take line A1. In the summer, the buses depart every 15 minutes. In winter, the wait time may be longer. The ticket costs €5 and takes just over 10 minutes.

Travel to Mallorca by ferry

Another option is visiting Mallorca by ferry from Valencia, Barcelona or Dénia. If you are already in the Balearic Islands, you can also take a ferry to Mallorca from Ibiza, Menorca or Formentera.

If you want to find the best ferry deals, I recommend checking out Ferryhopper . There are several companies that offer these routes: Balearia, Trasmediterránea and GNV.

One advantage of traveling to Mallorca by ferry is that you can take your own vehicle from the mainland Spain. Sometimes car rental prices are sky high, so you can save some money.

How many days to spend in Mallorca

I recommend spending a minimum of 4 or 5 days in Mallorca. Obviously, the more days on the island, the better, but I understand that not everyone has the time to spend a while in Mallorca.

Mallorca hides endless places to visit: towns, beaches, lighthouses, viewpoints, etc. Therefore, it takes quite a bit of time to visit it well. If possible, my advice is to spend 7-10 days visiting Mallorca. However, if you do spend even more days in Mallorca, you will not get bored. If you don’t have that much time, an itinerary of 4 or 5 days is fine, as I have already indicated.

On the other hand, if you have less time, you can still enjoy the island in a 2 or 3 day getaway. You will have to focus on a small part of the island but you will surely enjoy your time in Mallorca nonetheless.

🚗 Do you need to rent a car for your trip to Mallorca? I recommend checking out Discover Cars , a highly-rated car rental search platform. I have used it several times and it has always been great!

What to do in Mallorca

One of the main steps when planning a trip to Mallorca is deciding which places you are going to include in your itinerary around the island. As I have already mentioned, Mallorca has many places to visit: charming villages, mountains, coves, lighthouses, viewpoints and, of course, the city of Palma.

In the following sections, I am going to name some of the places that you cannot miss during your visit to Mallorca.

Palma de Mallorca

If you are going to travel to Mallorca, one of the places you cannot miss is Palma, the main city and capital of the island. Palma is a city that is well worth visiting as it has many attractions. One of them is the incredible Cathedral of Palma. It is a true work of art! You will also love getting lost in the streets of the historic center and having a drink in the Santa Catalina neighborhood.

An amazing way to get to know the city is by booking this free tour of Palma de Mallorca . If you want a more in-depth article about what to do in Palma in 1 day , take a look at my blog post about Palma.

Beautiful towns in Mallorca

Something that I love about Mallorca is the number of charming towns that you can visit. Every town has a very beautiful architecture and vibe. Many of these towns are located in Sierra de Tramontana. Getting lost in the mountains while discovering these little towns is one of the best things to do in Mallorca. You will enjoy it a lot!

In Sierra de Tramontana, I recommend visiting the following towns: Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller, Bañalbufar, Fornalutx and Pollença. Other towns worth visiting in Mallorca are Alcúdia, Artà, Capdepera and Portocolom.

Best beaches and coves in Mallorca

Millions visit Mallorca every year seeking beaches and coves. Its crystal-clear and turquoise water really stand out. These beaches and coves are spread out throughout the entire Mallorca coastline.

Some of the best beaches and coves in Mallorca are Playa des Trenc, Cala Pi, Caló des Moro, Cala s’Almunia, Cala Llombards, Playa S’Amarador, Cala Mondragó, Cala Torta, Cala Estreta, Playa de Muro, Playa des Coll Baix, Cala Figuera (Formentor), Formentor Beach, Cala de Sa Calobra, Cala Tuent, Cala Deià, Cala d’Estellencs, Playa del Rei, etc. As you can see, there many beaches and coves!

Other places worth including in this Mallorca travel guide

Mallorca doesn’t just have towns and coves. The island is home to many other places worth visiting during your trip. Do not miss the following places: Torre del Verger, Mirador de Sa Foradada (viewpoint), Faro de Formentor (lighthouse), Mirador Es Colomer, Talaia d’Albercutx, Mirador de Na Clara and Mirador des Pontàs.

Another very popular place to visit are the Drach Caves. Although they are beautiful, I did not particularly like the visit because there were too many people and I could not enjoy it. The Caves of Artà were better recommended by a staff member at Drach Caves, since they are less crowded.

How to get around in Mallorca

The best way to visit Mallorca is by car. Unless you have brought your own by ferry, you will have to rent a car in Mallorca. It is the best option because it gives you complete freedom to move around the island and allows you to visit practically every all place. In addition, you will save waiting time.

I recommend the company Discover Cars , which allows you to compare several companies and see which one is cheaper. Plus, you can add a very complete insurance for a good price.

Although Mallorca has public transportation, I do not recommend visiting the island using it because, you will not be able to reach many of the best places to visit in Mallorca. In addition, you will have to put up with waiting times and it will be more difficult for you to plan your itineraries.

If, for whatever reason, renting a car is not an option for you, you will have to get to know the island through public transportation. In this case, I recommend staying in Palma. It’s the main city, which means it has better bus connections with the rest of Mallorca. I recommend consulting the Transports de les Illes Balears ‘ website for more information.

This is a map of all the transportation connections available in Mallorca. Use this if you are planning a Mallorca travel itinerary using public transportation.

Best tours in Mallorca

If you are not going to rent a car during your trip to Mallorca, I recommend booking some tours. It will be more expensive than getting around the island by bus, but it is also more comfortable and convenient for you, since you will not have to worry about transportation. You can also visit places in Mallorca that cannot visit using public transportation.

You can also book boat trips, which is convenient even if you are going to have a car, since there are places, such as Sa Calobra, that can be easily accessed by boat.

These are some of the best tours in Mallorca:

• Caves of Drach Day Trip .
• 24-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour in Palma .
• Porto Cristo: Caves of Hams Entry Ticket .
• Palma Bay Boat Tour and Snorkeling .
• Cala del Moro, Cala S’Almunia and Cala Llombards Excursion .
• Boat to Sa Calobra from Sóller .

Where to stay in Mallorca

There is a large selection of hotels to choose from in Mallorca. You can find options for different tastes and budgets. Choosing the bests areas to stay in Mallorca is the hard part. For this reason, one of the best tips that you will find in this Mallorca travel guide will be about this specific topic.

An area that I highly recommend if you visit Mallorca in search of the best coves and beaches is the municipality of Santanyi. You will be close to places like Caló des Moro and Cala Llombards. Take a look at the following hotels: Boutique Hostal Mistral , Hotel Nou Can Guillem and Boutique Hotel Petit Sant Miquel .

Staying in Palma and its surroundings is also a great idea in my opinion, since it takes fairly little time to get to the rest of the island from Palma. It is very well connected. Something important when reserving an accommodation in Palma, if you are going to visit Mallorca by car, is that it has parking for its guests since parking in the city can be somewhat complicated.

If you decide to stay in Palma, take a look at these hotels with parking: BQ Augusta Hotel , Nou Baleares and Ars Magna Bleisure Hotel .

Last but not least, I recommend Alcúdia, located in the northern part of Mallorca. This whole area is beautiful and also has good beaches, therefore, it is worth considering this option. It’s one of the best places to stay in Mallorca for families. Take a look at Cas Ferrer Nou Hotelet in the area.

If you are planning a romantic gateway, don’t forget to check the best hoteles in Majorca for couples . All of them are only adults!

Mallorca travel guide itineraries

Once you know how many days you are going to spend in Mallorca, I recommend planning an itinerary in which you are very clear about what you are going to visit each day. In this way, you won’t waste any time improvising while you’re in Mallorca.

• 3-day Mallorca itinerary ( coming soon ).
• 4-day Mallorca itinerary .
• 5-day Mallorca itinerary ( coming soon ).
• 7-day Mallorca itinerary ( coming soon ).

💳 To get cash in the local currency of your destination or pay by card, I recommend getting the N26 card . With the free version you can withdraw cash from ATMs with a very low commission and pay in another currency with the best exchange rate and no commissions.

Traditional food you should taste in Mallorca

A trip to Mallorca is not complete without tasting some of the local delicacies, such as ensaimada and sobrasada. There is a very famous place in Palma de Mallorca where you can try, and even order, ensaimadas. It is called Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo. There are three locations in the city.

During your visit to Valldemossa, one of the most beautiful towns in Mallorca, I recommend tasting coca de patata, a very traditional sweet from the area. While you walk through town, you will see different bakeries and cafes where they sale coca de patata.

If you get the chance, do not forget to taste Majorcan empanadas, coca de trampó, arròs brut, tumbet and Majorcan-style snails.

Best restaurants – Mallorca travel guide

Below, you can find list of some of the best restaurants in Mallorca:

• Ca’s Patro March (Cala Deià).
• Restaurante El Olivo (Deià).
• Es Racó d’es Teix (Deià).

Where is Mallorca?

The island of Mallorca is located in the Balearic Islands, in the Mediterranean Sea, facing the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula and between the islands of Menorca and Ibiza.

It is the largest island of the Balearic Islands. The capital, Palma , is located here, which means that it is very well connected by air and sea with most Spanish and European cities.

Information about the map of Mallorca

Once you have downloaded your tourist map, you will be interested to know how to get around Mallorca , since it is the largest of the islands of the archipelago, it is essential to have a vehicle to travel around it.

The truth is that public transport in Mallorca is quite limited, especially if you intend to visit areas far from the capital, so we recommend that you hire a car and explore the island at your own pace.

The map will be very useful, both when organising what to see in Mallorca and when you start enjoying your trip, as it includes all the essential places you can’t miss during your holidays.

In it you will locate the incredible Mallorcan beaches , from the best known ones such as Es Caló des Moro , Cala s’Almunia and Playa de Muro to other less sought after beaches, but with the same crystalline waters, such as the beach of Cala Figuera or Cala Barques . The island has a total of 262 listed beaches, covering 500km of coastline, so whichever area you choose you will find a beach you will love.

But as well as beaches, Mallorca offers a natural and cultural heritage worthy of admiration, such as the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range and its idyllic villages… Did you know that Valldemossa and Fornalutx, in particular, have been declared two of the most beautiful villages in Spain? Include the mountain range in your tour and take the opportunity to contemplate the sunset at the viewpoint known as Mirador de Na Foradada, in Deià .

And talking of viewpoints, in Mallorca you will find many scattered around the island, as well as lighthouses , imposing and with that magic and mystery that characterises them. Head north and let yourself be fascinated by the views from the Mirador de Colomer viewpoint and the Faro de Formentor lighthouse in Puerto Pollença. In our opinion, this is definitely one of the areas you can’t miss…

All this, as well as cultural sights, tourist information offices, dive sites and much more on your Mallorca map.

Don’t hesitate! Download it , take it with you and enjoy your holidays. Mallorca awaits you!

What to Do in Mallorca: Our Highlights + Sightseeing Map

Latest update: June 14, 2023

Mallorca is only partying and mass tourism? Think again! Apart from the party beaches, Mallorca has so much more to offer: traditional fishing towns, picturesque coastal roads and hidden natural wonders. In this article, our Mallorca expert Ina will tell you what to do and see in Mallorca.

Mallorca? A great place to spend a party vacation! That’s what many people think. And that’s partly true, of course. But only in part. The German loved vacation island has so much more to offer.

Mallorca! It’s sun, mountains, sea, culture and cuisine, and a capital city that no longer has to hide behind other European metropolises.

So that you can get a good overview of the island, We’ll introduce to you here the 22 best sights and highlights of Mallorca.

Buy tickets for attractions in advance

Mallorca is one of the most popular destinations in Spain. So hours-long lines at the major attractions are pretty much a given.

That’s why it is definitely worth booking tickets in advance for the most famous Mallorca sights. They allow you to simply skip the line and go head straight for the entrance.

What to do in Mallorca - Sightseeing map

So that you can get a first overview of Mallorca and can see where the sights are located on the island, we’ve plotted out all the sights on a map. You can also save the map to your computer or phone:

The Old Town of Palma

In recent years, the capital of Mallorca has developed into an equally high quality and trendy year-round destination. Barcelona’s little sister, as it’s so often called, is all grown up.

In Palma, you’ll meet creative and culture loving people from all generations and nations. There are new design hotels, modern restaurant concepts and diverse shopping opportunities.

The Old Town itself is full of sights: winding alleyways, an imposing cathedral, the Royal Palace and the palm-lined harbor promenade are ideal for a city stroll full of culture.

To a guided tour through Palma and ticket to the cathedral

In addition, Palma has excellent flight connections and can be easily reached from all German airports.

on Google Maps

This is one of our favorite places in Mallorca: Portocolom . You just have to like this small port town on the east coast. Nearly no other place in Mallorca has preserved the original charm of the traditional fishing village as well as Portocolom.

To this day, many residents of Portocolom go out to sea early in the morning to throw out their nets. It’s tranquil and wonderfully calm here. Not a hint of mass tourism.

You can either relax on a small beach, book a boat ride with a typical Mallorcan Llaut , or you can treat yourself to something delicious in the many small restaurants and bars directly on the harbor.

Our tip : come to Portocolom really early in the morning, rent a stand up paddle board and paddle along the cove towards the North.

Only a handful of hotels, a few restaurants and a miniature harbor: it’s almost a miracle that there’s still a town as tranquil as Sant Elm on Mallorca’s coast.

The small, almost sleepy hollow in the far west of the island has remained a quiet village across the years that’s particularly popular among the locals .

The village is not the only true haven of peace though, the beach is also dream-like and isn’t as overcrowded as many others in the area.

Our tip for the active : from Sant Elm, you can take a wonderful hike to the old Trappist monastery La Trapa. For the well signposted hike, you’ll need around 3.5 hours and should bring some stamina along.

Our tip for the less active : Sant Elm is a perfect point of departure for a trip to La Dragonera, an island off the coast. The boat ride alone is a tiny highlight.

Fishing village Cala Figuera

The fishing village of Cala Figuera on the south of the east coast near Santanyi is considered one of the most beautiful coastal towns of the island. And we can only agree with that.

Cala Figuera, with its deeply cut bay, is not only super photogenic , this spot also exudes its own special charm. Stroll along the cute harbor, past the pretty white houses and the small boats and watch the goings-on.

Our tip : It’s best to come here during the afternoon! Then you can watch how the fishing boats come back into the harbor and in the evening you can try the freshly caught fish in one of the restaurants with a view of the small bay.

Sóller, the center of orange production and the capital of Tramuntana, is located in the northwest of Mallorca and has more than 10,000 residents. So quite large for Mallorcan standards.

The cute city with its old, tiled mansions, narrow alleyways and lively square in front of the parish church Sant Bartomeu is definitely worth a trip.

Orange groves reach into the old town, where a nostalgic streetcar made of wood connects the city of Sóller with the Port de Sóller, and exude a wonderful fragrance with their flowers.

Our tip : drink a fresh pressed orange juice from the fruits of the surrounding fields in one of the many bars and restaurants. Or try fresh orange ice cream from the Fabrica de Gelats.

Valldemossa

Valldemossa is one of the most beautiful mountain villages of the island. It became famous for its prominent guests, such as the French writer George Sand and composer Frédéric Chopin, as well as for the former Carthusian monastery. You can see the monastery’s green roof from a distance.

Valldemossa, with its almost 2,000 inhabitants, is not just one of the most beautiful towns on the northwest coast, but also by far the most visited. Up to a half-million tourists crowd through the narrow alleys here every year. You heard it right: crowd — in the truest sense of the word.

Our tip : take a little detour and drive down the switchbacks shortly before Valldemossa to Port de Valldemossa. Here, you can admire the gorgeous mountain silhouettes while swimming in the crystal clear water of the small beach.

To the guided day tour to Palma and Valldemossa

Away from the tourist strongholds, the island comes to rest. The idyllic mountain village Deià, which everyone always raves about, is just such a place.

Surrounded by olive, lemon and almond trees , there’s no trace of huge hotels at the foot of the Es Teix Mountain. Quite the contrary: small, exclusive boutique hotels attract Mallorca vacationers to the small town of 800 inhabitants year after year.

The galleries of the artist village are a must for all art enthusiasts. In spite of all the hype, Deià has luckily maintained its charm to this day. It’s best to come and see it for yourself.

Our tip : be sure to drive from Valldemossa to Deià. The winding route is one of the most beautiful and most interesting.

Cuevas de Artà

Mallorca conceals a geological treasure underground: fantastic cave formations that were discovered by chance and only a few of which have been made accessible to visitors.

The Cuevas de Artà, for example. These caves, situated some 40 meters high above the coast , are among the major attractions of the island, though they aren’t as heavily visited as the caves at Porto Cristo.

The Cuevas de Artà include stalactites with strange shapes and extraordinary proportions , such as the Reina de las Columnas which is truly a Queen of the Columns with a height of over 20 meters.

To the website

Dragon Caves in Porto Cristo

Near the port town of Porto Cristo , in the east of Mallorca, are the largest and probably best known caves of the island: the Cuevas del Drach. At 1,200 meters long and 25 meters deep , they’re Mallorca’s largest accessible stalactite caves.

Lake Martel is 117 meters long, 30 meters wide and up to 14 meters deep. During visits to the caves, it serves as a backdrop for classical music concerts where musicians play their instruments on illuminated boats.

Our tip : you should go either really early or really late. It’s not so crowded then and you’ll still get a parking space. Even better: you park in the center of Porto Cristo, explore this nice little place, which usually gets little attention, and then walk around fifteen minutes to the caves.

Alternatively, you can also visit the caves in combination with a half-day tour through the north of Mallorca. During the tour, you’ll also visit a pearl factory.

Cap de Formentor

Jagged rocks, wide views and blue sea. The best known and most visited lookout point of Mallorca is without a doubt Mirador Es Colomer at Cap de Formentor. This lookout point is on a narrow promontory that extends far into the sea in the northeast of the island.

The island council blocked access for general car traffic to the northernmost tip of Mallorca from the middle of June to the middle of September from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. If you’d like to go to Cap de Formentor during the day, you can visit it with shuttle busses from Port de Pollença (round trip costs around 3 euros).

Even though this lookout point is no longer an insider tip, you should definitely drive the coastal route with its many switchbacks up to the lighthouse. In good weather, the view even extends to Menorca, the neighboring island 40 kilometers away, and is really breathtaking.

Our tip : pack your swimsuit, the long white sandy beach Playa de Formentor is practically on the way.

You can also book a boat tour from Alcudia to Cap de Formentor. On the tour, you’ll sail on a boat with underwater windows along the rugged coast and stop for a swim at the beach of Cala Figuera.

Cúber Reservoir

Sometimes it seems like you’re in Patagonia, and then hints of Alpine landscapes or Scandinavian fjords will also come to mind.

Whoever takes this path feels as if they were on a trip around the world through the most beautiful natural landscapes: in the middle of the Tramuntana Mountains below the Puig Major, the highest mountain on the island, lies the Cúber Reservoir .

This spot is a perfect retreat for anyone who’d like to experience Mallorca’s nature and enjoy absolute stillness. A small path leads around the lake.

Animal lovers will also get their money’s worth here: sheep and donkeys like to accompany walkers part of the way.

Serra de Tramuntana

The northwest of the island, from Calvia to Pollenca, is all about the wild Tramuntana Mountains. The Serra de Tramuntana, as it’s officially called, is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011 and protects Mallorca from the cold north winds.

The mountain range is also an oasis for hikers : rugged rocky landscapes and breathtaking views as well as small hidden coves are the rewards for all sporty vacationers.

If you prefer it more relaxed, just take the panoramic road MA-10 from Andratx to Pollenca. It runs right through the northwest, past small mountain villages such as Banyalbufar, Fornalutx and Deià, as well as along Cúber Reservoir and the orange town of Sóller.

From Palma, you can book a guided hiking tour with a picnic through the Serra de Tramuntana.

Tour through the Serra de Tramuntana with a picnic

Botanicactus

There are spikes as far as the eye can see here! In the very south of the island, on the edge of the tiny town of Ses Salines, you can find the largest botanical garden of Europe .

You might ask yourself: why also go to a botanical garden when there’s already one cactus after the next on Mallorca? That’s true, but at the Botanicactus, the diverse cacti and succulents green and bloom across more than 150,000 square meters.

In total, you can marvel at over 1,600 plant species here from across the world. And it’s guaranteed that you won’t be able to see these otherwise on the island.

Particularly nice for everyone who arrives in the low season: the garden is open all year round. Another plus for anyone on the search for beautiful photos : Botanicactus is the perfect place for great Instagram photos.

Lluc Monastery

For Mallorcans, the Lluc Monastery (actually Monestir de Lluc), which is secluded in the Serra de Tramuntana, is the most important place of pilgrimage on the island.

Three old, still well used pilgrim paths lead here in a star formation: from Sóller, from Inca and from Pollenca. Even today, the monastery is still referred to as the spiritual center of Mallorca or the heart of the island.

The high point of a visit is the basilica with the Black Madonna . But you also shouldn’t miss the small monastery museum, the calvary and the botanical garden, home to around 200 native plant species. If you’re lucky and are at the monastery at the right time, you can experience the famous boys’ choir Blauets de Lluc, which today also includes girls, live in concert.

Our tip : spend a night in the monastery rooms of Lluc. Comfortable, absolutely reasonable in price and most definitely a special Mallorca experience.

Son Marroig/Sa Foradada

The best: from Son Marroig, the former residence of the Archduke Ludwig Salvator and today a popular wedding location, you have a magnificent view over the mountains and the sea . The perfect sunset spot.

The restaurant Sa Foradada  is close by, named for the cliff with the hole opposite. Here, you can look over the chef’s shoulder. A very special dish is on the menu: traditional Mallorcan Paella . Rumor has it that it’s the best on the whole island.

There’s only one little catch: the restaurant is only reachable by foot or boat . The path begins at the Son Marroig estate. You have to first climb over a small iron gate and then walk along the path around 50 minutes to the sea. The journey is worth it!

The Sa Foradada is also popular among stars : Tom Hanks, Michael Douglas, Halle Berry and the Mallorcan tennis ace Rafael Nadal are said to have all dined here.

Monastery Santuari de Sant Salvador near Felanitx

The former monastery Santuari de Sant Salvador majestically sits atop the approximately 500 meter high mountain of the same name and is our absolute favorite lookout point in Mallorca.

After heading right shortly after the city limits of the small town of Felanitx and continuing down the road for around 7 kilometers, you’ll reach the plateau of the monastery mountain with a view of the gigantic monument Crist Rei .

From here, you can let your gaze wander across almost all of Mallorca: the east coast with its small harbor villages as well as the many small coves, as far as Alcudia in the north of the sunny island, the Tramuntana Mountains and in clear conditions, even the group of islands around Cabrera.

Our tip : pack some bread, tomatoes, salami, cheese, beer and wine and enjoy the sunset from the monastery. If you’d like, you can also stay overnight. The Petit Hotel Hostatgeria Sant Salvador is located in the monastery, with 20 double rooms and two apartments.

To the Petit Hotel Hostatgeria Sant Salvador

Es Trenc beach

This approximately 2.6 kilometer long natural beach has long been no secret, but for us it’s still one of the most beautiful beaches of the island .

Thanks to its Caribbean flair , Es Trenc is the best known beach in Mallorca, which of course has its disadvantages: it’s usually jam-packed here, especially in the high season.

It’s quite different in the low season: from October to April, the long and then often deserted sandy beach beckons you to take long walks.

Our tip : park on the less busy side of the beach, at the harbor of Sa Rapita. You can usually still get a good space here even in the high season and you won’t feel so much like you’re packed in like sardines.

If you don’t want to drive to the beach, you can also book a half-day tour on a catamaran. Then you can see the beautiful south coast of Mallorca from the water and take a snorkelling break at Es Trenc beach.

To the half-day tour on a catamaran

Playa de Formentor beach

Total Caribbean flair : the fragrance of pine in your nose, the fine white sand between your toes and the crystal clear sea is only a few steps away. It’s said that the Playa de Fermentor is one of the most beautiful beaches of the whole Mediterranean . And that may be a good thing.

It’s about a kilometer long, but at around 10 meters wide it’s quite narrow, so there aren’t too many places to lounge. The spots below the pine trees are especially popular during the summer. The same applies here as to many other beaches: getting there early is worth it!

With a parking fee of roundabout 10 euros, it’s certainly not a beach for every day. You can combine a visit here perfectly with an excursion to Cap de Formentor. It’s located halfway from Pollenca.

Alternatively, you can save the parking fee by taking a glass-bottom boat to the beach. You’ll also have a beautiful view of the other small bays you pass.

To the tour with the glass-bottom boat

Playa de Muro beach

The approximately 5 kilometer long beach Playa de Muro is located on a forested dune area in the north of Mallorca and stretches from the popular vacation resort Port d’Alcudia to Can Picafort.

Since the beach here runs far and flat into the sea, it’s particularly popular among families with small kids . Warning to everyone without kids: it can get very noisy at times. Just before Can Picafort it gets a little quieter though.

Our tip : even though we are not a huge beach club fan and prefer small beach shacks, the beach club Ponderosa Beach is really great. Enjoy delicious food with your toes in the sand. A little drawback: you have to dig deeper into your pockets. But a cheaper alternative isn’t far: there are tasty snacks right next door at Oma & Opa .

By the way: If you feel like a bit of action and variety, coasteering on the coast of Alcudia is just right for you. Here, swimming and climbing are combined and you experience many different adventures: abseiling from cliffs, climbing along rocks or swimming through caves.

To the Coasteering excursion

Cala Varques cove

Until even a few years ago, Cala Varques (pronounced Cala Barques) was a total insider tip. Only a few tourists knew about this great Cow Cove , which owes its name to the four-legged visitors that show up on the beach every now and then.

Today it’s unfortunately no longer a secret, but it’s still great. The cove is a paradise for sailors, climbers and nature enthusiasts . Best you come early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when most tourists disappear into their hotels and the beach is slowly taken over by the local hippies .

Small drawback : since 2018, you unfortunately can no longer drive right to the beach, and instead have to park at a parking lot and then walk around 30 minutes to the cove.

Our tip : from Cala Romantica there’s a great hike to Cala Varques. It takes around twice as long as the journey from the parking lot, but is all the more beautiful for that.

You can also book a guided Glass-Bottom catamaran tour along the East Coast to Cala Varques.

To the catamaran trip to Cala Varques

Sa Calobra cove

You can only get to the cove of Sa Calobra by boat from Port de Sóller or via a 14 kilometer long and narrow road with a lot of switchbacks. Especially during the summer there’s quite a lot of traffic, and you have to continually make room for busses and cyclists.

To the boat trip to the bay of Sa Calobra

We would rather come here in the low season. Not only because the roads are much emptier then, but also because the cove itself is much more enjoyable. In the summer, it’s almost impossible to get a good spot there.

Even if that all doesn’t sound too positive, the place is amazingly beautiful and swimming between the steep cliffs is really an experience. The somewhat difficult journey is definitely worth it.

Red Lightning: historical train from Palma to Sóller

It’s one of the hallmarks of Mallorca: the train from Palma to Sóller, also called the Red Lightning or the Orange Express . Since 1912, it runs daily from the train station at Placa de Espana in Palma to Sóller in the northwest of the island.

Anyone expecting a train behind this fast-paced name that rushes along the 28 kilometer route through the Serra Tramuntana at high speed would be mistaken. The nostalgic train takes its time and only arrives in Sóller after almost an hour ride through almond, orange and olive groves, dark tunnels and deep ravines.

The fun isn’t so cheap at 25 euros for a round trip. But it’s definitely worth it. Very important: don’t forget your camera , the train even runs a little slower in some places.

Our tip : from Sóller, continue by street tram to Port de Sóller. If you’re already in the area, you should definitely see the little port town.

You can also kill two birds with one stone and visit all the great mountain villages in the area in one day. You can do this with a guided day tour with the Red Lightning from Palma. Besides Sóller and Port de Sóller, you’ll also visit Valldemossa and Deía.

General tips on sightseeing in Mallorca

Before you start with your Mallorca sightseeing tour, we have a few general tips for visiting the highlights in Mallorca.

#1 Book a rental car

Discovering Mallorca is definitely best done with a rental car . In particular, you’ll reach the small fishing villages and the secluded beaches most comfortably by car.

At the airport of Palma, but also inside the city, there are multiple rental car providers. To book a rental car you’ll simply need a valid driver’s license, an ID and a credit card.

Our tips for booking a rental car: Don’t wait too long to book a rental car. They’re particularly popular in Mallorca and so the shorter in advance you book, the more expensive the price. It’s best to get a small car – we can guarantee that it’s no fun maneuvering the narrow alleys and streets of the island with a huge limousine.

#2 Travel in the off-peak season

It’s universally known that Mallorca is very crowded in the summer. From June to the end of August, the beaches, hotels, restaurants, vista points and sights are packed.

If you’d like to do yourself, and also the island, a favor, then it’s better to visit Mallorca in the off-peak season . It’s often really nice in April/May , as well as in September/October , but the winter months also have their charm.

#3 Book a guided tour

If you don’t have any desire to drive, you can still discover the island with a guided tour. There are numerous day tours from Palma that take you by bus, car or train to the nicest spots on the island. These are the most interesting:

Winery tour through the island interior of Mallorca Island tour by bus, train, tram and boat Tramuntana tour with historic railway

Written by Lisa Alexander Updated Dec 26, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Mallorca is a gorgeous Mediterranean island with beautiful weather, stunning scenery, and delicious cuisine. The largest of the Balearic Islands , Mallorca is part of Spain but has a more rugged landscape and otherworldly quality. Rocky mountains and lush wooded hillsides fall steeply down to the sea.

The joy of Mallorca is the combination of culture and nature. Along the picturesque coastline, dramatic cliffs offer sensational viewpoints, and pristine coves sparkle with crystal-clear waters. When it comes to sightseeing, you can choose from many historic towns and charming villages that are brimming with medieval churches, ancient castles, and art museums.

In the same day, you can visit the glorious Gothic cathedral of Palma de Mallorca, then sunbathe on a pristine beach. You might stroll through the walled medieval village of Alcúdia, then be inspired by a 15th-century monastery, or relax at the glamorous seaside resort of Puerto Portals.

With so many options packed into this idyllic island, it's easy to find reasons to stay for a week's vacation or longer. Discover the best places to visit with our list of the top attractions and things to do in Majorca.

The seaside capital city of Palma de Mallorca dazzles you with its alluring Mediterranean setting and abundance of cultural attractions. Two impressive monuments, the cathedral and the castle, give this city the prestige of other capitals in Europe.

The monumental Catedral de Mallorca (La Seu) overlooks the Old Harbor and appears from a distance as a beacon of faith. You are awed by the 6,600-square-meter interior of the cathedral with its aisled nave rising to a height of 44 meters.

Splendid stained-glass windows including several rose windows (the largest dates from 1370) illuminate the sanctuary with an ethereal glow. Much of the interior was remodeled by famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí in the early 20th century.

In the cathedral's Capilla Real (Royal Chapel), Gaudí's gigantic baldachin is shaped like a crown of thorns. The Capilla de la Trinidad contains the sarcophagi of Kings Jaime II and III.

You may visit the cathedral Monday through Saturday. Admission requires a ticket and includes an audio guide. Guided tours are available on Saturdays. From the terrace on the south side of the cathedral, you can admire a magnificent view of the bay.

The cathedral holds a Mass celebration daily at 9am (9:55am on Sundays). Mass celebrations are also held at 7pm on Saturdays and at 10:30am, 12pm, and 7pm on Sundays.

A surprising 14th-century fortress, the Castillo de Bellver is found on a hilltop three kilometers from the historic center of Palma de Mallorca. The castle's unusual circular plan was influenced by Eastern architecture. The castle is open daily, year-round and has a history museum.

A top cultural attraction is the Fundación Miró Mallorca . This exceptional museum displays its collection in the art studios where Joan Miró worked. This museum displays a collection of paintings, drawings, and sculptures created by Miró.

If you prefer to lounge by the sea, the closest option is near the Miró Foundation at the Cala Major . This wide sandy beach is very popular during summertime. Other beaches include the Playa de Palma and the Playa del Arenal .

The picturesque town of Alcúdia has a distinct old-world ambience, with its winding medieval streets and palatial Renaissance mansions. This wonderfully preserved walled medieval town is also known for its delicious cuisine and traditional festivals.

The town lies a distance from the sea and was fortified to protect against pirates that were a danger during the Middle Ages. Of the ancient ramparts, only the Xara and Palma gates and the Renaissance-era Bastion of Sant Ferran remain.

Important churches include Santa Ana and Sant Jaume and the Baroque chapel of Sant Crist with a 15th-century image of Christ.

Alcúdia also has archaeological sites as the town was built on the site of an ancient Roman settlement. Remains of Roman houses, a forum, and an amphitheater lie to the south of Sant Jaume Church.

Several interesting tourist attractions are found outside the town. A great place for bird-watching, the Parc Natural de S'Albufera de Mallorca attracts more than two hundred species of birds throughout the year.

A popular nearby seaside destination is Puerto Alcúdia . This resort area has a sandy beach, a stylish seaside promenade, and a happening restaurant scene. The coastline around this area also has many pristine coves of crystal-clear water.

The Museo Sa Bassa Blanca displays a top-notch collection of modern and contemporary art. Open Wednesday through Sunday, this eclectic museum is seven kilometers from Alcudia in a seaside garden setting with a sculpture park.

This glamorous seaside resort on the Southwest Coast of Majorca is a favorite destination of the Spanish royal family and other trendsetting visitors. As you would expect of a fashionable seaside resort, upscale restaurants and designer boutiques line the waterfront of the yacht-filled marina. Flashy cars (Ferraris and Porsches are common) add to the scene.

Many of the cafés and restaurants have outdoor patios to soak up the sunshine and the scenery. Top choices include Restaurante Flanigan , which serves Mediterranean cuisine; Ritzi , a happening spot that offers live entertainment; Baiben , a restaurant with a Michelin-starred chef; and the Cappuccino Grand Café , which has fabulous terrace seating beneath shady umbrellas.

Nearby, Marineland Mallorca is a favorite attraction for families with kids. Children love visiting the aquarium, watching the parrot show, and seeing marine animals up close (including "dolphin encounters" and watching seal, penguin, and sea lion feedings).

Valldemossa is an enchanting hilltop village with cobbled pedestrian streets, narrow alleyways, and old stone buildings. At the center of the town , a pleasant tree-shaded square (the Plaza Ramon Llull ) provides an inviting spot for bustling outdoor cafés.

Valldemossa is blessed with a spectacular setting between the Tramuntana Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The lush terraced hillside surrounding the village leads down to beaches and coves.

Below the hilltop town is a lovely harbor, the Port de Valldemossa, which still feels like a little fishing village. If you like seafood, you will enjoy sampling the specialties at local restaurants.

The Real Cartuja de Valldemossa , a magnificent Carthusian monastery, was built in the 14th century on the site of an ancient Moorish Alcázar. For more than four hundred years, this serene setting offered spiritual inspiration to the Carthusian Monks who prayed and lived here.

Pianist Frédéric Chopin and novelist George Sand spent the winter of 1838-1839 at the monastery. During the time they lived here, Chopin composed Raindrop Prelude and other works, and George Sand wrote her famous book, A Winter on Majorca .

The expansive grounds of the monastery also include the 14th-century Palacio Rey Sancho built for King Jaime II.

Today, the monastery complex is open to the public Monday through Saturday. With your ticket, you will have access to visit the monastery's church, a historic pharmacy, the former monks' quarters, the Palacio Rey Sancho, a 16th-century tower, and exquisite gardens. As part of your visit, you may attend a 15-minute piano recital featuring compositions of Frédéric Chopin.

This lovely old fishing village is tucked away behind mountains and an idyllic valley, an expanse of olive groves and citrus orchards that extends from the historic town of Sóller to the sea. The Port de Sóller has a picturesque marina filled with many small boats and yachts.

Traveling here from Palma de Mallorca, you can take the Ferrocarril de Sóller . The scenic train ride travels through the Sierra de Alfàbia mountains. The Palma-Sóller railway dates back to 1912.

The Ferrocarril de Sóller company also operates a tram route from Port de Sóller to Sóller , a charming historic town that's definitely worth visiting! This route travels through picturesque citrus orchards in the Valle de los Naranjos (Valley of the Oranges).

About six kilometers from Sóller, the Jardines de Alfabia estate is a haven of tranquility and natural beauty. The luxuriant gardens, set at the foot of the Tramuntana Mountains, combine Mediterranean vegetation with leafy English-style landscaping. The property is open every day from April through October from 9:30am until 6:30pm.

The coast of Llucmajor has everything you need for a sunny beach vacation. This spectacular 45-kilometer stretch of Mallorca's southwest coastline has many beautiful coves and sandy beaches.

The beaches of Llucmajor begin about 15 kilometers south of Palma de Mallorca. The area includes over a dozen villages as well as modern resort developments, where you can choose from a wide variety of accommodations.

The calm waters of El Arenal Beach are ideal for swimming, while part of the beach is a designated surfing area. Amenities include a yacht club, tourist office, and public toilets. Sun umbrellas, loungers, and water sports equipment are available to rent.

In a protected inlet, the Cala Pi beach has natural charm despite being surrounded by hotels and housing. Cala Pi is a sandy beach with gentle crystal-clear waters that are ideal for scuba diving. Sunbathers can rent umbrellas and loungers.

Another option is the small cove next to the Cala Blava residential area. This sandy beach is very quiet and offers sensational views of Palma Bay.

Near the coast of Llucmajor (at a charming country estate in Capdepera) is the Michelin-starred Restaurante Andreu Genestra. The restaurant specializes in traditional cuisine of the region, with contemporary haute-cuisine flair. The estate includes olive groves, vineyards, and a vegetable garden, which provides organic ingredients for the chef's kitchen.

Pollença is known for its bustling port and beautiful bay of mesmerizing deep blue seas. In the shadow of the Pollença and Calvari Mountains, the charming medieval town has two important churches.

Nuestra Señora de los Angeles (Our Lady of Angels) is the town's 18th-century parish church built on the site of a 13th-century church.

From the Nuestra Señora de los Angeles church, a cypress-lined staircase of 365 steps leads up the Iglesia de Puig del Calvari , a Baroque pilgrimage chapel.

The historic center of town is only steps away from the beaches.

A popular family-friendly resort is the Port de Pollença . This gorgeous white-sand beach features an expansive shoreline and moderate waves. The beach has cafés, restaurants, a yacht club, water sports rentals, public toilets, and showers. Sun parasols and lounge chairs are available for rent.

Cala en Gossalba is an isolated beach in a remote protected location, accessible by foot or boat. The shore is gravelly rather than sandy. Both Cala en Gossalba are Port de Pollença beaches are ideal for scuba diving.

About six kilometers away from Pollença is the old fishing village of Puerto de Pollença . From here, a scenic road runs 21 kilometers northeast to Cabo Formentor at the end of a long, narrow peninsula.

One of Mallorca's most luxurious hotels is found on the Cabo Formentor overlooking the sea. The palatial Formentor, a Royal Hideaway Hotel provides sumptuous accommodations next to a sandy beach with crystal-clear waters. This five-star resort features an outdoor swimming pool, Mediterranean gardens, tennis courts, and several restaurants.

The historic town of Artà is tucked into a valley that flourishes with almond, olive, and fig orchards. The mountains of Artà provide a lovely backdrop with the rolling hills extending into the distance. In fact, Artà derives its name from the Arabic word for "garden" ( jertan ).

From the town's parish church, the Iglesia de Transfiguración del Señor, a cypress-shaded avenue leads up to the hilltop where a fortress and the Santuari de Sant Salvador (chapel) stand overlooking the town and the verdant countryside.

Artà still has the remains of its ancient ramparts, which seem to dominate the town, and many palatial old manor houses, such as Na Batlessa , which today is home to the Municipal Library.

Outside of Artà is the archaeological site Ses Paísses , the Monasterio de Santa Maria de Bellpuig , the 17th-century Franciscan convent of Sant Antoni de Pádua, and the Ermita de Betlem (hermitage) surrounded by a rugged landscape of scrubland and rocky hills.

Another attraction in the area (12 kilometers from Artà) is the Cuevas de Artá , a system of caves that contain impressive stalactites and stalagmites. You may take a 40-minute guided tour, available in English. The site is open year-round daily, except for closures on December 25th and January 1st.

This charming artists' village stands on a ravine surrounded by rolling hills and fragrant citrus plantations in the Valley of the Oranges, just a 20-minute drive from Sóller. The town's quaint stone houses feature tiled roofs and vividly painted shutters, typical of rural Mediterranean architecture.

The famous poet Robert Graves appreciated the peaceful setting and lived in the town for many years, inspiring other creative types to follow. The house where Graves lived, Ca n'Alluny , is now a museum, the Casa Museo de Robert Graves.

The town is well known for its cuisine and boasts several top restaurants: Es Racó d'es Teix , a gastronomic restaurant with an outdoor patio overlooking the Tramuntana Mountains; the award-winning El Olivo restaurant in the dreamy five-star Belmond La Residencia hotel; and the Restaurante Sebastian , which serves seasonal cuisine in a romantic dining room or on a garden terrace shaded by olive and lemon trees.

Beyond the historic center of Deià are several worthwhile tourist attractions. The Cala Deià is a small rocky cove with a tiny pebble beach and crystal-clear turquoise waters that are perfect for swimming. This sheltered beach has minimal facilities: public restrooms, showers, and two restaurants.

A hidden gem along Mallorca's coastline is found outside of Deià, the serene Monestir de Miramar overlooking dramatic cliffs and the deep blue sea. Open to the public as a museum (admission fee required), the monastery dates back to the 13th century.

In a sublime setting near the monastery, the Son Marroig estate houses a museum devoted to the nature studies of Archduke Ludwig Salvator. The site is open to the public (admission fee) Monday through Saturday. The estate hosts a summertime open-air music festival. The Mediterranean gardens and terraces are often used as a wedding venue, prized for the panoramic sea views.

Petra is a quiet country town 43 kilometers from Palma de Mallorca and is listed as a Property of Cultural Interest. The most important sight is the convent where Friar Junípero went to school.

The town also has a museum, the Casa Museu de Fra Juníper Serra , which illustrates the life and work of Friar Junípero Serra, who was born in Petra.

Another tribute to the famous missionary is the Junipero Serra Festival held every year on the third Sunday of September. This lively event features parades with impressive floats and colorful floral offerings.

Other interesting monuments in Petra include the Iglesia de San Pedro , a Gothic church with a fortress-like facade; the Convento de Sant Bernardí, a peaceful retreat created for the Franciscans; and the Santuario de Nostra Senyora de Bonany (Sanctuary of Our Lady of Bonany), a Neo-Baroque church that presides over a hilltop.

Cala Figuera is a charming fishing village with a laid-back vibe. The town's white-washed houses are clustered around a hillside that reaches the waterfront. Here, many local fishermen take care of their daily task of mending nets.

At the earliest hours of the morning, the fresh catches of the day arrive at the docks, ready to be sold at the market and then prepared into delicious seafood dishes.

As expected of a seaside town, Cala Figuera offers a great selection of seafood restaurants that serve fresh local fish. Along the harbor, a scenic walking path follows the water's edge and then leads up into the cliffs. Rewarding views of the bay make the journey worthwhile.

For summertime recreation, a popular place to visit is four kilometers south of Cala Figuera at Cala Santanyí . This family-friendly beach is prized for its sandy shoreline, calm crystal-clear waters, and well-organized facilities. Things to do include swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving.

The Calvià coastline extends 50 kilometers, winding around a spectacular landscape of foothills, cliffs, and bays. This area boasts many excellent beaches and remote isles, beckoning sun-worshippers and nature lovers.

One of the prettiest beaches is Cala Vinyes , a small sandy shore with gentle waters ideal for swimming and bathing. Umbrella and lounge chair rentals are available, however, the site has no public toilet facilities.

The fine golden-sand shoreline of the Playa de Palma Nova extends for one kilometer and is well equipped with public toilets, showers, rentals for umbrellas and lounge chairs, snack bars, and cafés. Families appreciate this Blue Flag beach because it has lifeguards; children's playgrounds; and clean, calm waters ideal for swimming. The beach is also great for water sports and scuba diving.

Other beaches along the Calvià coastline include the Playas Paguera , an urban beach with public facilities, and Playa de Santa Ponsa , an expansive beach with a yacht club, sun umbrella and lounge chair rentals, and lifeguard surveillance.
