There are certain destinations that are meant to be explored, while others are meant to last as an experience. Mallorca paints the Mediterranean picture very well—rocky beaches, blue waters and grilled seafood, everything that counts as an awesome seaside adventure.

Here’s your guide for a mesmerising Mallorca exploration!
When to visit Mallorca
Mallorca is usually sunny year-round. However, the best time to travel to Mallorca is between June and September.
How to get around in Mallorca
It’s a lifesaver if you can hire a car in Mallorca. Distances are long, and hopping in a car to visit places can be easy and convenient.
Palma
If you are up for exploring a seaside destination with fashionable bars, classy beach clubs and luxury boutique hotels, then Palma is a must-visit. It stands as Mallorca’s capital city, and once you are here, don’t forget to visit the stunning 14th-century Gothic Roman cathedral. You can also stroll around, explore art galleries, and cafes; perhaps the place is also perfect for photography.
Cala Figuera
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the bustling cities of Spain is Cala Figuera, a working city port, but somehow it’s also a quiet escape. In the background, towering mountains stand, encircling a small bay. The water here is crystal clear, ideal for water activities like swimming and snorkelling, making it one of the best places to explore in Mallorca.
Deia
Visiting Mallorca is incomplete without exploring Deia. Perched in the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana Mountains, Deia presents a charming panorama along with cobblestone streets, olive groves and rugged cliffs—one of the things Mallorca is famous for. And once you are here, you can get the best of both worlds—the mountains and the sea. You will find beautiful churches, restaurants and boutiques. There is also Port De Soller, which offers a very doable hike; one of the best things to do in Mallorca.
Colonia de Sant Pere
If you want to experience a good beach day, then Colonia de Sant Pere is the place for you. The town has some of the best beaches in Mallorca; you can watch the best sunsets and eat at fancy restaurants in Es Mollet, or drive up to the Cap de Pera lighthouse. While you are there, don’t miss out on the best ‘ice coffee’—scoops of vanilla ice cream over coffee; tempting and fulfilling at the same time!
Valldemossa
If hiking is on your to-do list for holidays, then say no more. Valldemossa can be your ideal destination. A town that sweeps you with old-world charm, captivating panoramas, and lush greenery—nothing less than a painting. With a population of just 2000 people, tourism is at its peak during the summer months. When in Valldemossa, don’t forget to visit the Carthusian Monastery of Valldemossa for a wonderful experience.
Sóller
Sóller is one of the most beautiful destinations in Mallorca. Nestled in the northwest part of the town, it is a popular 3-day visit from Palma. The place can be reached by an old wooden tram in under an hour. Be sure to observe some breathtaking views during the ride.
