Mallorca brings together beaches and plains with the Serra de Tramuntana, and is a popular holiday destination. It suits you if you want to hike, cycle, swim or explore historic places; there are also plenty of options for a beach holiday and nightlife.

In Palma, visit the cathedral and the old town, with its narrow streets. For hiking, take the Ruta de Pedra long-distance trail, eight days along the northwest coast from Andratx to Port de Pollença; you can also head into the Serra de Tramuntana, visit the Coves del Drac or go to the Santuari de Lluc, a sanctuary in a wooded mountain valley. Along the coast, you’ll find small coves and long sandy beaches such as Es Trenc in the south.

Pleasant from March to May and from October to November
