Mallorca is so much more than popular resorts and holiday crowds. The largest of the Balearic Islands hides spectacular cliffs above the Mediterranean, mountain roads winding through the Serra de Tramuntana, stone towns clinging to hillsides and wild coves with turquoise water. The raw landscapes of the north-western coast contrast with gentle valleys, olive groves and hidden beaches often accessible only on foot.
It is an island where one day you can hike along mountain ridges and the next descend to quiet calas tucked between rocks. Mallorca captivates with the diversity of its nature and with light that changes the colours of cliffs, villages and sea — from cool blues to the gold of sunset.
Below you’ll find the most characteristic landscapes and places that create the wild and authentic face of Mallorca.
Cala Pi
A beautiful beach in the south of the island, where turquoise water flows between sharp rocks:
Cala Varquez
There is a large area to explore here and an epic sea window in the rocks:
Cala des Moro
Cala Varquez is known for cliff jumping — here you can jump from the cliffs straight into the water:
Camí de s’Arxiduc (the Archduke’s Trail)
Cala s’Almunia
Set between rocks and pine trees. The foaming sea here is truly impressive.
Charming town of Sóller
In Sóller there is a wonderful restaurant with vegan options:
Cala Deià
Sa Calobra
Located in the north-west; the road to it is long and winding. At the end there is a small beach reached through a tunnel:
Formentor
A peninsula in the north, the end of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains:
Port d’Andratx
Here you can rent a boat without a licence.
Isla Dragonera
An island that really looks like a sleeping dragon waiting to awaken. As far as I know, you can’t simply land there because it is a protected natural area.
