Discovering Mallorca is discovering a paradise on earth. The island has everything: from an incredible environment to fabulous beaches and wonderful nature. All those who travel there return home completely in love with the Balearic island.

We have prepared a small guide to explore Mallorca on all four sides in 7 days. It is designed for you to rent a car, something practically mandatory if you want to have time to get to know the island in full. Are you signing up to come with us?

Discover Mallorca. Day 1: the northeast of the island

During the first day we will move through the Artá ​​area. There are some of the most beautiful and secret coves on the island. We especially recommend Cap Farrutx, a small cliff that descends towards the sea.

Continuing along the same road you will arrive at Betlem, where after crossing some trails, you will access small coves with turquoise water as the protagonist.

Continuing with the route, the next stop on this first day will be Son Serra de Marina. There you will find one of the best and most beautiful beaches in Mallorca. It is a practically virgin beach surrounded by a natural park. Without a doubt, an idyllic place to relax until lunchtime.

After having lunch, the next stop will be the Muro beach, which is after Can Picafort. And finally, the lighthouse of Cala Ratjada, where you can catch the last blasts of the sun and dine in one of its many restaurants.

Day 2: The Sierra de Tramontana

Declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, the Sierra de Tramuntana is an obligatory stop and one of the most beautiful places on the entire island. On the way up to the top, and from the road, you can see gorges, caves, canyons and animals such as goats or eagles.

Don’t forget to stop at the Lluc monastery, and at the prehistoric caves of Ses Cometes des Morts. They are two special places, different and full of mystery. You can also enjoy some of the beaches in the area, such as the famous cove of Sa Calobra (be careful with parking , it is quite expensive).

Of course, you must visit Sóller, which is considered the capital of the Tramontana. It is a small town with narrow streets and squares surrounded by olive and orange trees. All this forms a beautiful postcard that will remain in your memory.

And finally, on this second day to discover Mallorca, you must visit Deiá. It is a town from which peace emanates from all four sides, framed between the mountains and the sea. You will not regret spending the last hours of the day there.

Day 3: the east of the island

To compensate for the hours of driving the day before, this third day you will be able to enjoy the beaches and coves of the eastern part of Mallorca. One of the most beautiful in this part of the island is Cala Varques. You will reach it after walking for about twenty minutes along a path that you can take after leaving your car in a parking lot located on the MA-4014.

After spending the morning there, a good option for the afternoon is to visit the famous Drach caves. It is one of the most famous places on the island and requires a practically obligatory visit. Of course, keep in mind that the entrance costs about € 15.

Day 4: Cap Formentor

On this fourth day you will return to the west of Mallorca, making some stops along the way. The first visit will be Alcudia, a small walled town, which has one of the best beaches on the island: the San Vicente cove.

We also recommend Cala des Mas Pas. There you will find a very special beach bar, nothing fancy, but that you will love, especially if you decide to come back here in the afternoon. You will not regret.

Afterwards, you can head north, through a mountain road, towards Cap Formentor. When you get to one of its many viewpoints, its views will take your breath away. Without a doubt, one of the postcards you will remember from this trip.

Day 5: Valldemossa and Banyalbufar

Returning to the imposing Sierra de Tramontana, the first stop should be in the pretty town of Valldemossa. It is located just 19 kilometers from Palma, and has a very particular charm thanks to its narrow streets, its blue tower or the gardens that are scattered throughout it. This is one of the most beautiful towns in Mallorca, without a doubt!

Another stop that you can make this day is in Banyalbufar. It is a not too crowded town with a characteristic architecture of houses that seem to fall into the sea from the cliff. You can go down to the cove there, although if you do, you better not think that later you will have to climb the steep slope and enjoy what you find there.

Day 6: Portocolom

The penultimate day to discover Mallorca, head to the south of the island. There you will find Portocolom, a fishing village not too frequented by tourists.

In the town there are two small and incredible coves that you should visit : Caló des Moros and the stone cove of S’Almunia. If you don’t want beaches with stone, you also have your option: Cala D’or, with an imposing emerald-colored water in an urbanized area.

Day 7: Palma de Mallorca

You cannot leave the island without exploring the streets of its capital, Palma de Mallorca. Discover its cathedral, the Lonja, the Bellver castle or the La Almudaina palace. A finishing touch for this tour to discover Mallorca.
