Top 10 things to do in Mallorca

Famous for its beaches, villas, and pearls, Mallorca is a little taste of paradise off Spain's Mediterranean coast. For decades it's been a popular hotspot for summer and winter holidays alike due to its many diverse attractions. Here are ten of the best.

  • La Seu (Palma Cathedral)

    1. La Seu (Palma Cathedral)

    Designed by Antoni Gaudí and Miquel Barceló, Palma's magnificent cathedral is unlike any in the world. Mass times vary, but you can be sure to catch one at 9:00AM daily.

  • Serra de Tramuntana

    2. Serra de Tramuntana

    The winding road through this breathtaking valley is well worth renting a car for. Be sure to stop off at the red-brick village of Deià and Sa Calobra's beautiful cove - but don't forget your map!

  • Cap de Formentor

    3. Cap de Formentor

    This is arguably Mallorca's most spectacular landscape, to be found at the eastern end of the Formentor peninsula. It's known locally as the "meeting point of the winds."

  • Castell de Bellver

    4. Castell de Bellver

    Conceived as a royal residence, this unique 14th-century castle in fact spent more time in use as a prison. As well as incredible hillside views, it's also home to a museum.

  • Fornalutx and Biniaraix

    5. Fornalutx and Biniaraix

    The walk between these two quaint towns covers some of the island's most exuberant scenery, with olive, oak, and pine trees, a watermill, and Fornalutx's citrus-littered cemetery.

  • Jardines d'Alfàbia

    6. Jardines d'Alfàbia

    Nestled in the rugged mountains of Serra d’Alfàbia, is this ambrosial garden that was once the courtyard of an Arab viceroy. Today, however, it's occupied by rambling farm animals.

  • Alcudia

    7. Alcudia

    In historical terms, Alcudia is Mallorca's second city. Its old town is encircled by a medieval wall, and its beaches and coves are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

  • Puerto de Soller

    8. Puerto de Soller

    Soller's port is the scenic highlight of this historic town, with twin lighthouses forming a gateway to its sandy bay. Don't miss touring the seafront on its vintage trams!

  • Illa de Cabrera

    9. Illa de Cabrera

    If you just can't get enough peace and quiet, then head to this uninhabited islet and National Park off Mallorca's south coast to sunbathe, hike, or explore its old castle.

  • Beaches

    10. Beaches

    Visiting Mallorca for the sea and sand? The resort beach of Playa de Muro is one of the best, but if you fancy something a little more isolated, then head to the wilder Es Trenc.

Planning Your Visit

  • When to visit?

    The best time to visit Mallorca is between June and August, when the weather averages about 86°F and the coastal breeze stops temperatures from getting intolerable. This is also when the island hosts its music and film festivals. For a nice wintry trip with mild weather October won't disappointed - it's better-suited to exploring Mallorca's local cultures and historic buildings.

  • How to get there?

    The simplest way to reach Mallorca is by flying to Palma de Mallorca Airport in the island's capital city. There are also several ferry services available from Barcelona, Valencia, and Ibiza.

The glass bottom is a bit of a novelty really, most the time you can't see too many fish swimming about, but it was certainly interesting enough. The trip was fantastic, swimming in the sea at the first stop in an alcove and then Formentor beach was stunning clear waters. Bring a snorkel!! The views during the journeys are beautiful. There is a bar on board, but only served beer, water, lemonade or coke. Also can buy burger/chips on board too. The staff were all friendly at attentive and explained what was happening and how much time we had etc. They also fed the fish off the side of the boat to attract them over so we had plenty to see :)

Mallorca: Glass Bottom Boat Trip to Formentor Beach Reviewed by Kate, 9/2/2020

Wow! What a fantastic experience. Anna welcomed us and made us comfortable as we were early. From walking in the door to riding out on the quads the staff make you feel confident and welcome. Our tour guide was amazing, supportive and kept us entertained throughout. I can’t not justify how beautiful the tour is with words. An incredible experience. I would highly recommend, I can’t wait to return myself!! P.S always a bonus when your hunk of a tour guide cliff jumps with you!

Mallorca: Quad Bike Tour with Snorkeling and Swimming Reviewed by Shawnna Louise, 8/31/2020

They cancelled my first booking, the food was not too great, you have to wear a mask almost all the time, and they don’t sell alcohol during the trip :( But in spite of all that, the trip was amazing and totally worth the time. One of the best experiences from my trip to Mallorca :)

From Palma: Sunset Catamaran Excursion with Dinner Reviewed by Max, 8/31/2020

It was very well run. We didn't stand around wasting a lot of time. We showed up and they were ready to go. Expect to help after landing. It's a big job to take down the balloon and pack it all up. Everyone helps.
