Spain
Mallorca is the largest Balearic Island, bathed in Mediterranean sun where crystalline coves and golden beaches meet olive groves and vineyards. The dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountains line the northwest coast and are a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, while Palma charms with its Gothic cathedral and lively old town. You can hike or cycle mountain trails, wander cobbled lanes, or slow down in a rustic finca.

Explore popular activities, attractions, and places to visit in Mallorca.
Lose yourself in Palma’s winding old‑town lanes, where stone courtyards, boutique shops and sun‑dappled plazas invite you to pause for tapas. Then visit La Seu, the soaring Gothic cathedral by the harbor to admire its dramatic façade and light‑filled interior, check opening times before you go and take your time to enjoy a coffee in a nearby square.
Drive the winding coastal road from Port de Pollença to Cap de Formentor to reach the Formentor Lighthouse and viewpoints like Mirador Es Colomer. Plunging cliffs open onto sweeping blue sea, so arrive early for the best light and fewer crowds.
Explore the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana on trails that wind through terraced olive groves and centuries-old stone villages such as Valldemossa and Deià. Choose a short coastal walk or tackle sections of the GR 221 Dry Stone Route for sweeping Mediterranean views; bring sturdy shoes and water, then go discover the island’s wild side.
Escape the high-rise resorts and unwind on Es Trenc’s long white-sand shore or in a hidden cove like Cala Figuera, backed by dunes and nearby salt flats with clear turquoise water perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Go early to beat the crowds, bring a snorkel, and find a quiet spot to soak up the sea air.
Head inland to the Binissalem or Pla i Llevant Denominación de Origen wine regions for a winery tour and tasting. Sample wines made from Mallorcan grape varieties such as Manto Negro, Callet and Prensal Blanc, grown in the island's sunny Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soils, and plan a tasting to meet winemakers and bring a bottle home.
Wander cobbled lanes, browse artisan shops and admire stone houses in Valldemossa and Deià, villages perched in Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana hills. You can take a slower pace, linger over coffee in a sunlit plaza, and use them as your base for short scenic day trips.
