Go on a road trip from your holiday home in Mallorca!

In addition to its reputation for parties and beaches, Mallorca is also incredibly popular for scenic road trips. Winding roads take you through green mountains and along spectacular cliffs. One of the most beautiful routes to drive is the Sa Calobra route. Full of hairpin bends, it winds through the impressive Serra Tramuntana mountains to Sa Calobra. The ride along steep rock faces is stunning, with photo-worthy stops all along the coast.

La Seu Cathedral in Palma de Mallorca

In Palma, the island's capital, you’ll find one of the most unusual cathedrals you’ll ever see! With its height and width almost equal, it looks more like a colossal medieval palace. Up close, the church is both massive and magnificent. The best views of the basilica are from the palm-lined promenade—or even better: from the water on a jet ski!

Tip: join a buggy tour from the capital to picturesque nearby villages, panoramic viewpoints or great snorkeling spots!

Catamaran excursion

A catamaran cruise is another iconic activity in Mallorca. Sail along the coast and try stand-up paddleboarding on the sun-drenched waters or dive in with your snorkel set. Or simply relax and soak up the atmosphere onboard—especially magical at sunset!

Lunch or dinner in rustic spots

In a destination heavily visited by tourists, it’s refreshing to find peaceful places where you can enjoy nature and the countryside. Fortunately, Mallorca has plenty of such places. At Mesquida Mora winery, you can dine among vineyards and a historic windmill. Here you can enjoy lunch or dinner with local delicacies like cheese and olives. It’s definitely recommended to explore Mallorcan cuisine! Dishes are often hearty with a hint of sweetness, like turkey in almond sauce.

Mountain village Valldemossa

Planning a day trip from your holiday home in Mallorca? Head to Valldemossa, a beautiful village nestled in the green interior. From a distance, you’ll already spot the village’s landmark: a 14th-century monastery set among lush hills. At another monastery, Miramar, a shady 4-kilometre trail leads to Caló Bay, where you can cool off in crystal-clear water.

Discover Mallorca’s top waterparks!

Mallorca has three waterparks, each with unique attractions and an impressive number of slides. At Hidropark alone there are 15 different slides. Zoom down from various heights or float along wildwater rides like the Congo River. And who says you have to ride alone? Slide down as a group in a giant inflatable tube! Hidropark also offers dry activities like paintball and mini-golf.

Take the tram to Port de Sóller

A charming alternative to a road trip is the slow tram ride to Port de Sóller. Before you depart, take time to admire the poetic façade of the church in Sóller. The town square is full of terraces, and the tram runs right through the middle! Hop aboard the vintage train and enjoy views of mountains and orange groves. Once in Port de Sóller, you can relax on the beach and enjoy views of the green hills.

Hiking and beach fun in Parc natural de Mondragó

Brilliant white sand, azure water, and pine trees along the coast—Parc natural de Mondragó offers everything for a perfect day at the seaside. Cala Mondragó beach is close to the car park and has a beach bar and restaurant. A bit quieter is S’Amarador beach, which you can reach via a footpath connecting both beaches—no need to drive. Multiple trails in the area take you along the cliffs, and from S’Amarador, you can hike through pine forests with scenic sea views along the way.

Coastal cave excursion

One of the best excursions in Mallorca is a boat tour along the coast. These tours let you snorkel and marvel at prehistoric sea caves. Round Cave is special for its lush vegetation, while other caves are known for their magical colours, stalactites and rugged walls. Did you know you can spot dolphins in Mallorca? Keep your eyes on the water—you might just see them swimming beside the boat!

Book a holiday home in Mallorca

If you’re dreaming of the ultimate island feeling—white sandy beaches and turquoise waters with boats floating like clouds—Mallorca is the perfect destination. But the island offers much more! Go off-road in a buggy to stunning cliffs or snorkelling spots, rent a jet ski or take the whole family to one of the island’s many waterparks.
