Road Trip Mallorca: Around the East Coast of the Island

A road trip Mallorca along the east coast of the island will take you through medieval castles and impressing caves. It can make an unforgettable jouney filled with beauty and discoveries. Find the best itinerary for this trip here!

Recommended activities : 1. Skip the Lima Palma Cathedral Entry Ticket 2. 24-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour 3. East Mallorca Coasteering Experience 4. Caves of Drach Day Tour Recommended hotel s: 1. Hipotels Playa de Palma Palace & Spa Palma de Mallorca 2. Alua Leo Hotel Palma de Mallorca 3. Hotel and Restaurant Jardi D’Artá Artá 4. Can Xisquet Capdepera 5. Apartamentos Sureda Canyamel 6. Villa Can Nieves Cala Ratjada 7. Casa Portoblau Porto Cristo

Road Trip Mallorca around the East Coast:

What to see.

I will start by presenting a little guide about what you can find in Palma, the island’s capital. With about 420,000 population as for 2023, this number can easily multiply by five in summer holidays.

Being such a beautiful summer destination, not all the tourism revolve only around the beaches. There is much more to Palma than the sea. There are picturesque streets on the Old Town which take you back to historical times, with the Cathedral as an omnipresent landmark.

I recommend obtaining a Skip the Line Palma Cathedral Entry Ticket in advance. The Cathedral is always crowded with tourists, so this ticket will make you save a lot of time.

Another impressive landmark and which I recommend not to miss is the Castle of Bellver. This city’s simbol dates back to the 13th century and it is the only circular castle in Spain.

The castle is located 3 km from the center. An easy way to arrive there is to obtain your ticket for a 24-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour . This way you can enjoy access not only to the castle but also to 16 stops around the city’s most iconic landmarks.

The Mallorca road trip around the eastern coast starts in Artá. This charming town, home to approximately 8,000 people, is located at a one-hour driving distance, 52.2 miles (84 km) from Palma.

Artá boasts 26 beaches, some of which are considered the most beautiful on the entire island of Mallorca.

Artá stands out as a unique destination, preserving the essence of traditional craftsmanship. There are numerous artisans proficient in woodworking and handicrafts. Many of them engage in the manufacture of the iconic handbags and hats made of Palma, a native plant thriving on Mallorca. I found beautiful items in Son Pocapalla, a shop with more than 50 years in the business.

The most emblematic landmarks of Artá are the fort and the church of Sant Salvador, situated atop the mountain bearing the same name. To reach the summit, one must ascend 180 steps, but trust me, the magnificent view of the valley from above is well worth the effort.

Capdepera is about 12,000 people and it’s main attraction is also a medieval castle. You can climb it easily in about 5 minutes in order to get an amazing view of the town.

Inside the castle you will find a permanent exhibit showcasing the traditional craftsmanship of Capdepera and Artá with “llata”. This is a unique type of palm heart. It’s very interesting to learn how the leaves are dried, braided, and transformed into various objects like beautiful baskets, collectors, and fans.

The lighthouse of Capdepera is one of the most iconic landmarks in Mallorca. Situated in a breathtaking natural setting, it offers a magnificent view of the cliffs. And from the top you can even glance at the Menorca Island.

Canyamel Harbor

The Canyamel harbor is south of Capdepera. On one side there is a natural reserve which is perfect for bird watching. On the other side you will find the resort of Canyamel, very popular not only with Spanish tourists but other European tourists as well.

The beach has a blue flag and is considered one of the top 20 beaches in Mallorca and is only 6 miles (10 kms) from Artá and Capdepera. It’s a lovely destination for families. It stretches for 290 meters, making it perfect for diving.

Cala Ratjada

Cala Ratjada is a charming fishing port featuring a small beach on one end and Cala Aguila at the northern tip. The city’s focal point is the port, around which the center of town is concentrated. There is a significative German population which adds a unique flavor to the area.

At Cala Ratjada tourists enjoy every kind of sea water sports, diving and surfing.

Cala Agulla

Northwest of Cala Ratjada you will find the town of Cala Agulla. This 525-meter white-sand beach is very clean with white sand and turquoise waters. It offers various water sports and activities, like pedal boats, kayaks, and paddleboarding.

Caves of Artá

These caves are located in the Canyamel harbor and can be reached by car from Cala Ratjada in only ten minutues. Visits to the caves are every half an hour and last 40 minutes. During the tour you can see one of the most impressive stalagmites in the world, 22 meters high.

Jules Verne visited these caves, inspiring his novel “Journey to the center of the earth”. They were a refuge for 2,000 Moors during the conquest of Mallorca by the Spanish king in the 13th century. Later the caves were used by hermits, pirates, and smugglers.

Porto Cristo

Porto Cristo exudes traditional charm with its old stone houses, white chalets, and lively port. The addition of a marina caters to modern boat owners. Ideal for families and couples seeking a peaceful getaway, it offers a tranquil atmosphere with limited nightlife.

From Portocristo, you can take a half-day coasteering adventure. This includes climbing, rappelling, scrambling, and even jumping off cliffs. Safety gear and a safety-oriented instructor are provided. This is a kid-friendly tour for the adventurous family.

Caves del Drach

The main attraction nearby are the famous Caves del Drach (Caves of Dragons). The route inside has a total of 0.75 miles (1.20 km) and it is one of the best things you can do in this Mallorca road trip through the eastern side of the island.

The visit lasts for about one hour. Inside the caves there is one of the largest underground lakes of the world, Lake Martel. Here visitors attend a classic music concert and can even have a boat ride.

Day 1 of Your Mallorca Road Trip Itinerary

The first day of your Mallorca road trip will be spent exploring Palma, the capital city of Mallorca. Many of the attractions are just walking distance away but you’ll want to bring your car for some of the attractions later in the day.

So it’s best to leave your car in a car park for the first half of the day and then pick it up for the last two attractions at the end of the day.

Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma

Begin your 4 days in Mallorca by heading straight to the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma. Otherwise referred to as La Seu by the locals, this Gothic cathedral looks truly breathtaking and it’s a must-visit on every Mallorca itinerary.

It’s one of the most popular attractions in all of Mallorca, so there’s no better place to start your trip than here. Be sure to check out the beautiful windows – there are 61 stained-glass windows in the cathedral in total!

The entrance fee to the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma is €9.

Royal Palace of La Almudaina

Next, take a one-minute walk to the Royal Palace of La Almudaina. The palace was built in the 14th century and it serves as the official residence for the royals when visiting Mallorca ever since then.

In peak season (from April to September), the Royal Palace is open between 10 am – 7 pm from Tuesday to Sunday. It closes earlier (typically around 4 pm – 6 pm) from October to March but it’s closed on Mondays in every season, so it’s worth planning your Mallorca itinerary according to this.

Tickets usually cost €7 per person. According to their website , there is free entrance on Wednesday and Sunday from 3 pm to 7 pm. There’s also free admission on certain days throughout the year, like International Museum Day in May and the National Holiday of Spain in October.

Placa de Cort

From the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, take a five-minute walk over to Placa de Cort. This historic plaza in the city is most well known for being host to the Ancient Olive Tree. It’s located directly in the middle of the square, so you can’t miss it even if you tried!

You’ll also want to check out the Ajuntament de Palma City Hall while you’re here, which dates back to the 17th century. It’s the most picturesque building in the square and is incredibly beautiful.

While in the square, be sure to take the time to walk around and explore the rest of the area if you can.

Placa Major

Another short walk away is Placa Major, which is a great place to head for lunch. This square is always busy with people, and it’s lined with great shops and restaurants so even if you’re not hungry, it’s an awesome place to just people watch.

If you’re looking for a great place to eat you should visit Bazaar Tapas Restaurante & Bar which offers incredibly delicious tapas and if you’re looking for a light lunch with pastries, granolas, and coffee, check out  Mise En Place – people are raving about this cafe!

If neither of these places managed to grab your attention, then take the time to walk around the square and find a different place to eat. There are lots of restaurants in the area so even if you’re a picky eater, there will be a restaurant that’s perfect for you!

Passeig del Born

After lunch, take another short walk over to Passeig del Born! It shouldn’t be longer than a 10-minute walk in from Placa Major. This is known for being the prettiest place to explore in all of Palma de Mallorca!

The street is lined with beautiful trees, and the avenue is very walkable. Many shops line the road, so you may even be able to pick up some new clothing or even a souvenir for you to remember your trip here.

Port of Palma de Mallorca

From Passeig del Born, make your way back to the cathedral and then head over to the Port of Palma de Mallorca. This is one of the biggest ports in the area and is incredibly scenic and beautiful!

At the port, take the time to take in the breathtaking views and watch some of the boats come in and out. There are also some shops in this area, so you can take the time to walk around and see some other sights if you want.

This is one of the cruise ship terminals, so if you took a ferry to get here, you might have already seen it!

Poble Espanyol de Mallorca

Next on your Mallorca road trip is Poble Espanyol de Mallorca , an incredible open-air museum with reproductions of many famous Spanish buildings such as Court of the Myrtles from Granada’s Alhambra and Christ of the Lanterns from Córdoba.

You can find 18 buildings and many streets and squares at a 1:2 scale here so you can technically see all the most important buildings in Spain in just an hour, how cool is that?

The easiest way to get here is to get back to your car, and it should be about a 10-minute drive without traffic right along the waterfront.

A standard ticket costs €10 per person and the museum is open between 10 am – 6 pm from April to October and between 9 am – 5 pm from November to March.

Castell de Bellver

End the first day of your Mallorca road trip by getting back in the car for a short drive to the Castell de Bellver.

This gorgeous castle is from the 14th century and was initially built to house royalty, so you can imagine how breathtaking and elegant it is. It’s built in the classic Gothic style of architecture.

To get inside, you will have to buy a ticket for €4. The castle is open every day except Mondays between 10 am – 7 pm from April to September and between 10 am – 6 pm from October to March.

If you’re lucky enough to be visiting on a Sunday then you can enter for free, however, keep in mind that the castle closes at 3 pm on Sundays (and on bank holidays).

Day 2 of Your Mallorca Road Trip Itinerary

On the second day of your Mallorca road trip, you’ll be leaving Palma and exploring some of the nearby areas. It will be well worth it!

Keep in mind that if you are traveling during peak season, this is one of the days where you may have to pick and choose which attractions you want to visit. This is because parking may be hard to come by at some destinations, so you’ll want to plan wisely.

Far de Cap Blanc

Begin the second day of your Mallorca road trip by gearing up for a drive. Get in the car for a 30-minute drive to the Far de Cap Blanc. This 19th-century lighthouse offers one of the most scenic viewpoints in the area!

If you’re a morning person, get up early enough to see the sunrise, you truly won’t regret it.

Historically, the lighthouse was even powered strictly by olive oil, which makes it incredibly unique. Keep in mind that parking is located a little ways away, so you will have to take a bit of a walk to get up to the lighthouse.

Unfortunately, you can’t enter the lighthouse but the scenery will surely make up for it!

Es Trenc Beach

After exploring Far de Cap Blanc, take another 30-minute drive to Es Trenc Beach. This is a gorgeous beach with fine white sand and turquoise waters, you’ll truly feel as if you were laying on a beach in the Caribbean!

Since it’s one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca, it usually gets super busy later in the day so that’s why it’s a good idea to visit early in the morning. Moreover, there are practically no shades on the beach so it’s better to avoid the midday sun anyways.

Parking spots are quite limited as well so try to arrive before 9 – 10 am, otherwise you might not be able to visit the beach at all. You will need to pay €7 for the parking which is a bit too much, but it’s very well worth it to visit the beach.

The beach extends over 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) but unfortunately, facilities are quite limited, there are no showers or changing stations on site. There is only one restaurant on the beach so it’s better to pack your own food and drink for the day.

Es Trenc Beach is located right next to the flat wetlands of Ses Salines, so you can even get a glimpse into how salt is produced on the islands.

Take the time to relax and swim at the beach, but don’t take longer than a few hours, otherwise, you might not be able to see the rest of the places on this Mallorca itinerary.

Mirador Es Pontás

Even though you won’t want to leave the beautiful beach, it’s time to! Take another 30-minute drive to Mirador Es Pontás, one of the most incredible viewpoints in Mallorca. You’re seriously seeing some of the best views today!

Es Pontás is a naturally formed rock with a huge cutout in the middle, so it looks like a natural bridge in the middle of the water.

Mirador Es Pontás is the name of the viewpoint from where you can get an incredible view over the rock and the rugged coastline along the sea.

You can leave your car in the nearby parking lot from where you can reach the viewpoint within a few minutes walk. The path is clearly signposted so you can’t miss it!

It’s a very popular place to watch the sunset but it’s less busy during the day so hopefully, you won’t run into huge crowds. The area is very picturesque so don’t forget to bring your camera!

Cala Santanyí

If you want to take another dip in the water, you can visit Cala Santanyí after taking in the views at Mirador Es Pontás.

You can just leave your car at the parking lot and take a 5-10 minute walk to Cala Santanyí from the viewpoint.

Surrounded by cliff faces and greenery, Cala Santanyí is another one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca. It’s a lot smaller than Es Trenc so if it’s too crowded by the time you get here, feel free to skip it.

Otherwise, stay here for a while and catch some sun rays until you feel like you’re officially ready for lunchtime!

Cala Figuera

Next on your Mallorca road trip itinerary is Cala Figuera, which is only a short 10-minute drive from Cala Santanyí.

Located on the left fork of a beautiful Y-shaped bay, this small fishing village dates back to the 14th century and offers an incredible panorama.

Unfortunately, you can’t swim here but it’s still worth stopping by and exploring the town. It’s also a great place to grab some late lunch if you’re feeling hungry.

A few of the top-rated restaurants in Cala Figuera include Restaurante Pizzeria Es Port for pizza and Restaurante L’Arcada for Mediterranean. Both have mid-range prices on their menu.

Cala d’Or

After you enjoy your lunch and explore the area of Cala Figuera, it’s time to move to another one of the famous Calas in Mallorca. The next stop will be Cala d’Or, which is a 25-minute drive from Cala Figuera if you take the Ma-19 road, or closer to a half-hour if you take Ma-14.

Cala d’Or is a village and a popular beach area located on the southeast coast of Mallorca. It’s most well known for its striking coastlines and its gorgeous beaches, such as Cala d’Or beach, Cala Gran, or Cala Petita.

While Cala d’Or is a really stunning place to visit, it’s quite far away from Palma de Mallorca so if you don’t want to stretch your Mallorca itinerary, feel free to skip it. If you start your day really early in the morning you can still make it, so the decision is totally on you!

Botanicactus

It’s time to start heading back in the direction of Palma but don’t worry, you will still get to visit two awesome places on the way back! One of them will be Botanicactus, one of the most unique botanical gardens in all of Spain.

This botanical garden looks exactly like a desert. Throughout the park, you’ll find more than 400 different plants and more than 10,000 cacti! There is also an artificial lake in the park surrounded by beautiful green palm trees.

Botanicactus is a true paradise for nature and plant lovers! One thing to note is there are no shades in the park so it’s better to visit early or late in the day.

Botanicactus is a 25-minute drive from Cala d’Or a 13-minute drive from Cala Figuera. The park is open every day between 10.30 am – 4.30 pm

An adult ticket costs €10.50.

The last stop of the day is Cala Pi, another of the best attractions to visit in Mallorca in 4 days. It’s another 30-minute drive away from Botanicactus, but the route is pretty scenic.

Cala Pi is known for being situated in one of the first-ever places on Mallorca that people inhabited.

You’ll want to check out the breathtaking bay – while you’ve seen a few seafronts today, this one stands apart. Try to catch the sunset in Cala Pi, it will be an unforgettable experience!

Day 3 of Your Mallorca Road Trip Itinerary

Today you’ll be exploring a few more villages around Mallorca! Yesterday was pretty jam-packed so this day will be a lot more relaxed. There aren’t many attractions on your Mallorca road trip itinerary today so you will have more time to explore the different towns and villages.

Valldemossa

Start the third day of your Mallorca road trip by heading to one of the most beautiful villages in Mallorca: Valldemossa!

Located on a hilltop and surrounded by beautiful rolling hills, Valldemossa is a quiet and picturesque village boasting many amazing shops, cafes, restaurants, and art galleries.

Valldemossa is a 30-minute drive from Palma. You can find 2 large car parks in the villages so leave your car behind and start exploring the village on foot! There are quite a few things to do in Valldemossa, so pick and choose what sounds best for you.

One of the top attractions in Valldemossa is the Royal Carthusian Monastery (otherwise known as Real Cartuja de Valldemossa), which was originally founded as a royal residence but later became a monastery.

Another must-visit spot is the Jardins Rei Joan Carles, which is a lovely garden area to stroll around.

You could also explore the town without much of a plan and stumble across some of the beauties of the village. Plan to spend around 1-2 hours in Valldemossa so you’ll still have time to visit the other attractions on this 4 days in Mallorca itinerary!

Son Marroig

From Valldemossa, take a 10-minute drive along the Ma-10 road to Son Marroig. It’s a traditional Mallorcan country estate that belonged to Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria that has been converted into a museum dedicated to his adventurous life.

From the museum, you can get incredible views of the ocean that will genuinely take your breath away!

Son Marroig is known for being a popular wedding venue, making sense because of how beautiful it is. Apart from visiting the inside of the museum, make sure to spend some time in the gardens as well!

A ticket to Son Marroig costs €4 which is very well worth it. The museum is open from Monday to Saturday between 9.30 am – 2 pm and 3.30 pm – 4.30 pm (it’s closed on Sundays).

Deiá

Next on your Mallorca itinerary is Deiá, another picturesque village that is only a 7-minute drive from San Marroig. Deiá has always been popular among famous artists and writers, it was also home to the famous English poet, Robert Graves.

The main coastal road leading up to Deiá can be very busy during the day and parking is not that easy to come by in the village, so you might need to calculate some extra time for traffic and parking.

Thanks to its famous artists, you can find many interesting art galleries around the village, along with many amazing gift shops and restaurants.

One of the most famous restaurants is the Michelin-starred Es Racó d’Es Teix , a family-owned restaurant offering various Mediterranean and European dishes.

Sóller

From Deià, take another 20-minute drive to get to the next village on your Mallorca road trip. Sóller is located in a beautiful valley often referred to as the “valley of oranges” or the “valley of gold”.

If you happen to visit in March, you can even attend the Orange Festival which showcases the best of its orange harvest.

The town is made up of narrow streets lined with traditional townhouses with beautiful green shutters. Make sure to visit Plaça Constitució, the main square of Sóller where you will find countless great cafes and restaurants.

Right next to the square you will find Eglésia de Sant Bartomeu, a beautiful 16th-century baroque church that’s also worth visiting.

Sóller also has three interesting museums: the Natural Science Museum (Museu Balear de Ciències Naturals) promoting botany, zoology, and geology; the Museu del Casal de Cultura (Museu de Sóller) filled with antics and relics and Can Prunera, featuring a Modernist art collection.

Port de Sóller

Once you’re there, make your way to the Port de Sóller. This beautiful port is a village of its own and is surrounded by beautiful blue water. Be sure to check out the bay here because it’s absolutely gorgeous and incredibly scenic. Everywhere you look, you’ll feel like you are in paradise.

You can either get back to your car and drive down to Port de Sóller in 10 minutes or you can opt to take a scenic ride on the historical tram.

This vintage train is a great tourist attraction in itself which offers an incredible view where you can admire the beautiful mountains, olive trees, and orange groves on the way.

You can find many great restaurants and cafes in Port de Sóller so if you’re hungry, you can stop by to have a light dinner. There are two great beaches in the town as well where you can enjoy the warm water in the picturesque scenery.

Sunset at Chillout

End the third day of your Mallorca road trip by getting back in the car and heading to Son Marroig, the same place you were at earlier in the morning. It’s another 30-minute drive away on Ma-10, which is the quickest way to get there.

The best place to catch the sunset here is a bar called Chillout, which is the top-rated bar in this area of Mallorca. It’s known for its incredible views, so get cozy, grab a cocktail, and prepare for a beautiful sunset.

It’s a very popular sunset spot in Mallorca and it can get insanely crowded, so try to arrive early to snag a great spot!

Day 4 of Your Mallorca Road Trip Itinerary

Unfortunately, it’s time for the last and final day of your Mallorca road trip! Today you’ll be visiting the northern part of Mallorca where you will see some of the best views that the island has to offer. Let’s get into it!

Port de Pollenca

Begin the last day of your 4 days in Mallorca itinerary by heading to Port de Pollenca, which is a 1-hour drive from Palma de Mallorca.

This small town is incredibly picturesque and is most well known for being a popular resort town. It’s filled with great restaurants, shops, and even more excellent beaches.

At the port itself, if you wake up early enough, you may even be able to catch the sunrise. Take the time to enjoy the water and also walk around the rest of the town if you want to. It’s very serene here, and there’s no better time of day to enjoy the port than in the early morning.

Mirador es Colomer

From Port de Pollenca, take a quick 10-minute drive along Ma-2210 to Mirador es Colomer. This is one of the best viewpoints you won’t want to miss out on during your 4 days in Mallorca.

The lookout point is perched upon a high cliff so you will be able to see the rest of the area from a great vantage point.

The viewpoint looks out to the ocean and there are tons of beautiful rugged cliffs around, which only add to the view. It can get bustling here later in the day, which is why it’s best to visit right in the morning or earlier in the day to avoid the crowds.

Albercutx Watchtower

If you can’t get enough of the views, the good news is that you can go even higher! From Mirador es Colomer, a trail leads up to Albercutx Watchtower which is the highest peak on the peninsula, offering some breathtaking views of the island.

The trail is quite steep so I wouldn’t recommend hiking up. Get back in your car and drive up instead! Please note that the winding road leading up to the watchtower is really narrow with many hairpins.

To be honest, it’s quite scary to navigate, so be sure to drive slowly and be really careful.

Once you’re up there you’ll be treated to great views of the coastline and the nearby mountains, it’s truly breathtaking! You can even see Platja de Formentor from the watchtower, which is going to be the next stop on your Mallorca road trip itinerary.

Platja de Formentor

Now, it’s finally time to head to the beach! From Mirador es Colomer, it takes a mere 10-minute drive to get to Platja de Formentor, one of the most beautiful beaches you’ll see on the island.

It’s important to know that the road leading to Platja de Formentor is practically a dead-end road so it can get incredibly busy. Generally, if you don’t find a parking spot at the parking lot near Platja de Formentor, you’ll have no choice but to turn back and skip visiting the beach.

That’s why it’s important to start your day early because it’s practically impossible to get to the beach in late afternoon, especially during the summer months. Parking costs €15 for a day (there are no hourly options).

Even if it can be a struggle sometimes to get there, it’s very well worth it as the beach is a true paradise on Earth. The water is incredibly blue and crystal clear and the white sandy beach is surrounded by beautiful green mountains which only add to its charm.

Since you’re going to have only one more stop on your Mallorca itinerary for today, take your time to relax on the beach and swim in the water, you’re going to love it!

Cap de Formentor

Last but not least, make your way to Cap de Formentor, one of the most breathtaking viewpoints on the island. There is no better way to end your Mallorca road trip than watching the sunset by the lighthouse at the top!

Getting to Cap de Formentor is a little bit tricky because the road is closed to car traffic between 10 am and 7 pm during the summer months.

Technically you can take a bus during the day but the bus schedule is not so reliable. Instead, I recommend spending the afternoon at the beach and then going up to Cap de Formentor when the road opens.

Now, if you’re visiting during the summer months, it’s super important to be first in line when the clock strikes 7 pm. There is only one road leading up to Cap de Formentor which gets insanely busy immediately after it opens.

On top of that, parking spots are quite limited on the top so if you don’t want to spend a lot of time stuck in traffic and then search for a parking spot, be there at 7 pm sharp (or even better, 5-10 minutes earlier).

Technically it’s a 20-minute drive from the parking lot at Platja de Formentor but you should calculate with at least 30 minutes. This means you will still be able to catch the sunset at the lighthouse which will be an unforgettable experience!

There is a small cafe at the lighthouse but I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s way overpriced. Instead, just take the time to enjoy the sunset on your last day in Mallorca, you totally deserve it!

Useful Info for Visiting Mallorca

Where to stay in mallorca.

Since Mallorca is a pretty big island, there is no shortage of options when it comes to accommodation. One of the best places to stay in Mallorca is the southern side, in or around Palma de Mallorca.

The capital city is close to the airport and it’s also one of the biggest cities on the island so it’s a great place to use as a base for your Mallorca road trip.

You could also opt to stay at Magaluf or Palma Nova on the left side, or Ca’n Pastilla or S’Arenal on the right side of Palma. All of these are great options and cater to different budgets, so you should be able to find one that best fits your budget.

If you want to know more about the different areas, be sure to check out my in-depth guide about where to stay in Mallorca .

If you’re in a hurry, here are my top recommendations for staying in Palma de Mallorca for every budget.

• Luxury in the Old Town | Hotel Can Cera
• Luxury on the beach | Es Princep – The Leading Hotels of the World
• Mid-range hotel | Nixe Palace
• Budget hotel | Meliá Palma Marina
• One-bedroom apartment | Palma Suites
• Two-bedroom apartment | The Boc Suites

How to get to Mallorca

Although there are a few options to get to Mallorca, taking a flight is undoubtedly the easiest and most popular option. Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is located 8 km east of Palma, the capital city of the island.

It’s one of the biggest airports in the country so it can handle lots of travel throughout the year. Keep in mind that some international flights only operate between May and October.

If you’re coming from mainland Spain or another Balearic Island, you can also opt to take a ferry. Mallorca has 2 ferry ports, one in Port d’Alcúdia and one in Palma.

Although this is a more scenic way to get to Mallorca, keep in mind that it takes a lot longer than flying. For instance, it takes around 7.5 hours to reach Mallorca from Barcelona or Valencia and 2.5 hours from Ibiza.

Best time to visit Mallorca

Spain is lucky enough to be one of the prettiest dream destinations to visit year-round. So doesn’t matter when you’re able to make it to Mallorca, you’ll have a fantastic time!

However, there are pros and cons to each season and it’s important to know what to expect, so you can choose the best month for your Mallorca road trip.

Mallorca is a popular summer destination among beach lovers so naturally, the majority of people visit Mallorca during the summer months. During this time, temperatures can get up to 31°C (89°F), so it can get pretty hot. This time of year also doesn’t see a whole lot of precipitation.

The popularity of visiting during this time makes it a lot more expensive for accommodation and flights. On top of that, finding a parking spot is a real struggle during the summer period which is not so ideal if you’re planning to do a Mallorca road trip.

Spring and fall are considered the shoulder seasons of the year and although you will still come across lots of other tourists, the island is nowhere near as busy as it is in the summer. Plus, the weather is still pretty nice, with highs reaching 28°C (82°F) during some months.

However, the fall is the rainiest time of year in Mallorca, which might deter you from visiting during this time.

Due to its location, the winter is usually mild with many sunny days which makes Mallorca one of the best winter sun destinations in Europe.

Although the average temperature during the day is around 14-16°C (57-60°F) from December to February, sometimes the days can be cold and windy as well so be prepared with some warmer clothes.

You’ll most likely be able to snag a great deal on accommodation during this time, which can make it such an appealing time to visit.

How to get around in Mallorca

Although you can technically take the bus around Mallorca, they don’t run as often as you’d think and the schedule is especially limited on the weekends.

The island is far too big to explore on foot or with bicycles so if you have an international driver’s license, it’s best to rent a car and opt for an exciting Mallorca road trip! It’s definitely one of the best road trips in Spain so don’t miss out on this opportunity if you’re visiting the island.

Renting a car will also give you the most freedom possible while traveling, so if you come across other great destinations that aren’t included in this Mallorca itinerary, then you can easily add other stops as you please.

Because most people rent a car when visiting Mallorca, there are a lot of different rental companies. The more popular car rental companies like Hertz or Europcar are located right at the airport so if you fly to Mallorca, you can get one as soon as you land.

Most companies will have daily costs starting from around €20. Sometimes there are price breaks if you rent the car for longer. Be sure to research your options to find which rental company has the most affordable price during your 4 days in Mallorca.

Tips for driving in Mallorca

To drive around Mallorca, you will need an international driving license. Make sure you get one of these before landing, or you might run into problems when picking up your rental car.

Most of Mallorca is pretty easy to drive around, though Palma can sometimes be challenging due to traffic. Plus, a lot of the roads on the island will bring you past beautiful scenery. Make sure you have your camera!

When driving in Mallorca, make sure you drive on the road’s right side, not the left. Knowing what side of the road to drive on when visiting a country is extremely important.

Make sure not to use your phone or drink any alcohol while driving, or risk being fined hundreds of euros or worse. You must also have some sort of insurance in the car in case you are ever pulled over.

6 thoughts on “The Perfect Mallorca Road Trip Itinerary for 4 Days”

Do you have any recs for a 1 day Mallorca trip? or is that impossible (lol).

Hmm this is definitely a hard question! I wouldn’t say impossible but not ideal for sure. I think it depends on what you’re looking for, I would probably stay in Palma de Mallorca but there are also a few really amazing beaches nearby (around 30-60 minutes from Palma) so if you’re more about nature, I would start looking in this direction.

Is there any Tour company providing this itinerary? Thanks

I highly doubt that anyone provides this same exact itinerary as I personally put it together step-by-step 🙂

Any idea how I can plan my trip to Majorca without driving a car

I would get familiar with the local buses (routes, timetables, etc.) and there are also a handful of island tours you can attend.

8 Great Day Trips in Southern and Central Mallorca

• Last Updated March 17, 2024
• Europe , Spain

Mallorca can suffer from an unfairly negative reputation. Many people consider Mallorcan holidays as a synonym for the tightly-packed highrise hotels of Magaluf and the beaches surrounding the Badia de Palma where young sunseekers head for a week of booze, sex and partying without realising that the Balaeric’s largest island has boundless diversity and a rich cultural history.

Consider the island’s southern shores; the area sandwiched between Palma de Mallorca and Far des Cap de ses Salines is relatively undeveloped. High, rugged cliffs disguise hidden coves and pristine beaches while the rough scrub of pine and juniper provides habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna.

Then there is central Mallorca. While many people only pass through the island’s interior, it is home to beautiful rural towns hewn from golden sandstone, traditional churches, and hilltop monasteries surrounded by fields of olive trees where the more intrepid explorers can entertain themselves for weeks with countryside hikes, wine tastings at idyllic  fincas  and even partaking in some of Mallorca’s most exuberant  fiestas .

If you’re looking to get away from the poolside of your resort – even just for a day – here are some of the best day trips in southern and central Mallorca.

The Best Day Trips from Cala D'or, Mallorca

1. Coves del Drac 2. Cala Figuera & Cala Santanyi 3. Caló d’es Moro 4. Felanitx & The Sanctuary of Sant Salvador 5. Palma de Mallorca 6. Sineu Market 7. Cala Pi 8. Es Trenc & Platja de Sa Ràpita

Cuevas del Drac

The Cuevas del Drac, or Caves of the Dragon, are easily the island’s most popular tourist attraction outside of Palma de Mallorca. Located on the east side of Mallorca just outside of the town of Porto Cristo, this impressive collection of four caves – Black Cave, White Cave, Cave of Luis Salvador, and Cave of the French – reach depths of 25 metres and are all interconnected. It is thought that the caves date back to the Miocene Epoch and were formed by water being forced through the entrance from the Mediterranean Sea.

Although there is no guided tour on offer for visitors, a trip around the caves does end in a classical music performance from four musicians on a boat as they glide across Martel Lake, one of the world’s largest underground lakes, as it is gradually illuminated. Despite being a little kitsch, the scale of the cave and lake do make for an impressive spectacle. Afterwards, you are able to take a short boat ride.

The caves get very busy so I would advise arriving early. From the village of Porto Cristo, Cuevas del Drac are well signposted.

When : 10am – 5pm in summer and 10.45am – 3.30pm in winter Price : 15 Euros

Cala Figuera & Cala Santanyi

Low, whitewashed houses line the long, fjord-like, Y-shaped bay of Cala Figuera, possibly Mallorca’s most picturesque fishing village. Named for the fig trees that perch on the low cliffs bounding the two inlets (Caló  d’En   Boira  and Caló  d’En   Busques ), Cala Figuera is still very much a  working  fishing village despite the surge in rental properties popping up along the  harbour  front; lines of  colourful  washing hang from the green shuttered windows, ropes and nets litter the waterfront walkways and the garages of the fishermen’s homes still house small boats. stick around until the late afternoon – usually between 3 and 5pm – if you want to catch a glimpse of the boats returning with their catch.   

Expect to find plenty of this fish and seafood served in the  harbour  restaurants, which are stocked by the local fishermen and offer some of the freshest seafood on the island.  

Just 5km north of Cala Figuera and accessible by train is the idyllic and tranquil Santanyi. A town with a slow pace of life, Santanyi is typically Mallorcan; quiet, cobbled streets run through the rows of gold stone buildings and a stunning church of Sant Andreu sits at the village centre. The weekly market that occupies the pedestrianised streets around the church each Wednesday and Saturday is worth a visit.

If You would prefer to get out in nature, the 760-acre Parc Natural de Mondragó begins just north of Cala Figuera and is home to a wide range of flora and fauna, from wild goats and weasels to Mediterranean turtles.

Caló d'es Moro

On an island famed for its stunning beaches, the argument of which stretches of sand are Mallorca’s finest are always going to be hotly debated. However, one that is often cited is Caló des Moro. This tiny cove of virgin sand and crystal clear turquoise water is hidden by steep cliffs at either side ad is not easily accessible, except by descending narrow ‘steps’ in the cliff face. Despite this, it is fairly popular with locals and due to its tiny size – just 15m wide and 50m long – getting a spot for your beach towel can be a struggle in the summer months.

Thankfully, just across the headland from the sandy beach, a minuscule small cove populated with a small number of boat sheds provides another bathing spot while many people decide to sunbathe the elevated rocks that surround another calm and tranquil cove.  

As it is not well signposted, getting to Caló des Moro can be a bit of a struggle. The best option is to head towards  Cala  Llombards  from  Santanyí  and park in Sa  Comuna . Caló des Moro beach is a short 1km walk from the  S’Almunia  road and if it is a sunny day, you should be able to follow the trail of people wandering down to the cove.  

Felanitx & The Sanctuary of Sant Salvador

Despite appearing sleepy and rural, the town of Felanitx is actually one of the largest in south Mallorca with over 17,000 inhabitants and a bustling weekly market that surrounds the church of Sant Miquel sees crowds descend on the historic centre every Wednesday. Expect to find plenty of capers, the local speciality and local pottery displayed on the church steps.

Although Felanitx relies mostly on tourism nowadays, the town is known for its agricultural history and remains a prominent producer of wine, sitting at the centre of Mallorca’s second-largest wine region. It is these vineyards that put Felanitx on the map and during the 19th century, quickly becoming Mallorca’s third city after Palma and Alcudia. However, the town’s history goes back much further, with settlements here both in the bronze age and during the time of the Roman Empire. During Muslim rule between 902 & 1229, Felanitx had a mosque and the site of Santuari Castle was a fortress.

Beyond the town itself, there are a number of attractions in the area around Felanitx. Santuari Castle – dating from 1228 – sits on a hill overlooking the town and the monastery of Sant Salvador has existed since 1348, with the current structure being built in 1707-34. It was the senior house of Mallorca’s monastic order despite losing its last monks in the early 90s, remains a popular place of pilgrimage for Christians. Even if you are not religious, the views from the terrace take in Cabrera, Cap de Formentor and several other hilltop sanctuaries dotted across the region.

Palma de Mallorca

Considered by many to be one of the prettiest cities in the Mediterranean, the medieval city of Palma is the beating heart of Mallorca. Brimming with history, culture and foodie delights, this vibrant city is the ideal city break.

Towering over the coastline of Badia de Palma, Palma de Majorca dates back to the 13th century when Christian invaders reclaimed the island from the Moors and set about leaving their mark on the city and its skyline with the construction of the towering La Seu Cathedral.

However, before this, plenty of diverse cultures and occupants left a lasting legacy in Palma. The Romans and Vandals have both called this corner of Mallorca home at some point or other.

The sundry historic influences have created a melting pot of architectural styles. Wandering the maze-like, pastel-hued streets that spider-web out from La Seu and its gothic surroundings, you will find narrow medieval streets punctuated with beautiful plazas and ornate churches.

If you’re short on time, various walking tours offer to show you the city from varying perspectives; whether a deep dive into Palma’s Jewish district, a closer look at the beautiful Art Nouveau architecture or tapas bar and market hopping on a foodie adventure around the city centre.

Beyond Palma’s fascinating history, you will find a vibrant, modern city that boasts an energetic nightlife, edgy bohemian neighbourhoods, art galleries and a food scene that will have you salivating.

Getting to Palma

The majority of roads in Mallorca converge in Palma – after all, almost half of the island’s residents live here – so it is very well signposted and easy to reach from the south coast. If travelling by car, head north towards Campos where you can join the eastbound Ma19 in the direction of the coast and Palma de Mallorca.

Traffic reduction measures mean that much of the narrow city centre streets are car-free so you are better off parking in one of the blue parking zones or underground car parks on the outskirts.

By bus, the 501 service provides transport from Manacor (once per hour), Campos and Felantix (every half an hour) to Palma and takes approximately 1 hour 25. From Cala D’or you can take the 514 to Felantix or 515 to Campos and switch to the 501.

Es Trenc & Platja de Sa Ràpita

With many of South Mallorca’s best beaches being littered with hotels apartment buildings, you may have to travel a little beyond the well-trodden resort towns to find a stretch of unspoilt sand. Luckily just 11km south of Campos, you will find Es Trenc and Platja de Sa Rapita, two adjoining natural beaches that together make up a 5km long, pristine beach ideal for a little relaxation or a long walk. This is one of Mallorca’s most beautiful dune beaches so can become a little crowded during the summer months. There are car parks nearby (6 Euros per day) but it is possible to park at Sa Rapita’s yacht harbour if these become full and take the free shuttle bus to Es Trenc.

Sineu Market

Sitting at Mallorca’s centre, the rural town of Sineu is one of Mallorca’s most historically significant settlements, known as Sinium to the Romans and Yiynau by the Moors. It even hosted a royal residence during the era of King Juame II. Although the palace is now a nunnery the town still bears many hallmarks of its time as an important hub, particularly in its architecture. Sineu was home to the first hospital in Mallorca and a particularly impressive parish church, which dates back to 1240, is amongst the oldest anywhere on the island. The large main square of Sineu, Plaza Des Fossar, is a fantastic place to relax and soak up the atmosphere.

Sineu’s main draw is the weekly market that is held each Wednesday in Plaza Des Fossar. Started in 1306 by Jaume II, Sineu market is one of the oldest in Mallorca. Although traditionally dedicated to agriculture and animal farming, the market is now is more of a tourist attraction; Spilling away from the main square, the maze of side streets is crammed with stalls selling a huge range of goods such as fruit and veg ceramics, clothes, and artisan foods such as cheese and meats.

At its heart though. Sineu market is still very much a farmer’s market and the only remaining open market in Mallorca where farm animals are bought and sold so expect to see chickens, doves, lambs, goats and even cows up for sale.

Cutting half a kilometre inland where the glittering turquoise water is framed by steep-sided cliffs just 100m apart, the natural harbour of Cala Pi is one of Mallorca’s most picture-perfect coves.

The beach itself is rather small – measuring just 140 metres wide and 45 metres long – and is accessed by a steep 147-step staircase that leads down from the villa-lined ridge that shelters the fjord-like estuary. The pines, oaks and maquis that surround the bay add a secluded, as does the fact that the Torrent de Cala Pi’s curve shelters the fine, white sand beach from the open sea.

Although the beach and the4 pretty, white-washed boat houses that surround the bat are Cala Pi’s principal attractions, the small town itself has the interesting claim of being one of Mallorca’s oldest settlements (the nearby Bronze Age settlement of Capocorb Vell is considered to be one of the most important archaeological sites on the island and can be visited). Only around 600 people currently call the village home but there is a small church, Nostra Senyora des Angels, and a number of shops.

Locals block Instagram-famous Mallorca beach and chant ‘tourists go home’

Share this with

This is the moment locals on the Spanish island of Mallorca were forced to ‘occupy’ an idyllic beach to safeguard it from ‘ bad tourists ’.

Footage showed as many as 300 people wielding banners that read ‘SOS Residents’ and handing out leaflets in English and German to target the majority of holidaymakers.

Organised by the Mallorca Platja Tour  social media group, this is the latest protest against the growing flow of visitors that swarm southern European beauty spots each summer , with similar demonstrations taking place in Barcelona, Malaga and Athens.

A movement against ‘overtourism’ has been ongoing in Barcelona since 2018, and just this March riot police and protesters – chanting ‘Barcelona is not for sale’ -clashed.

One man was handcuffed by after punching an officer who also appeared to have earlier struck him and a woman with a baton.

Protesters also took to the streets of the Greek capital in May, spraying graffiti against holidaymakers.

Islanders kept their promise to ‘reclaim’ the Calo des Moro beach in the southeast from foreign holidaymakers, with one overheard shouting at them to ‘go, go, go!’

The scenic area has become a tourist hotspot in recent years after social media posts by influencers made it ‘Instagram famous’.

Every inch of the 98-foot wide stretch of sand was taken up with beach towels over the weekend.

The influx of sunseekers brought protesters out in droves, with organisers declaring: ‘For one day, Calo des Moro will belong to the Mallorcans.’

Holidaymakers have faced abuse across Palma, the capital city of the Balearic Islands, as more locals join the protest movement.

Marchers were heard chanting ‘Tourists go home’ as they passed through the central square.

Some included the message, ‘Salvem Mallorca, guiris arruix’ which means ‘Let’s save Mallorca, foreigners out’, translated from Catalan Spanish.

It plays on the colloquial expression ‘Guiri’ – used to slander northern European tourists like the British partying in Magaluf.

Mayor Maria Pons said before the protest: ‘We understand the demonstration and we won’t do anything to stop it, but Calo des Moro needs a rest.

‘The only thing we want is that locals can live in peace every day of the year.

‘Police have verified that when Calo des Moro is mentioned in the news, the influx of visitors increases.

‘Neighbours living nearby suffer the pressure of thousands of people who pass through every day.’

Who are the 'bad tourists' in Spain?

Multiple incidents involving tourists have been recorded across Spain this year, even though it is just the start of summer.

One of the most recent ones was in Mallorca where a group of British tourists on a stag do started a melee at a beach restaurant.

For years, anger has been growing over disrespectful tourists, primarily from the UK and Germany.

Organisers also pointed the finger at ‘colonising tourism’ and appeared to highlight problems like Airbnb-style holiday rentals which have been linked to a lack of affordable housing.

They said: ‘For years Menorca has been increasing excess tourism and the congestion is getting worse.

‘Colonising tourism has been gaining ground, first on the coast, then in the countryside, then towns and now also in our homes.’

Speaking at a council meeting she also hit out at the social media stars who have transformed the cove, saying: ‘We have seen how some visitors change their swimwear three or four times to take different selfies and claim on their online profiles they’ve been to Calo des Moro many times.

‘If we carry on the way we are there won’t be a cove anymore because of the erosion that’s been caused.

‘As a tourist municipality the town hall leaders are conscious its wealth comes from visitors.

‘But what Calo des Moro needs is that people including the media forget about it for the season.
