Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is an incredibly diverse destination filled with history, nature, and unique landscapes. Do you need to explore it in just a few days or enjoy the best of it? Here’s a list for you!
- The Cathedral of Palma (La Seu)
The capital, Palma, is home to one of the most impressive monuments on the island: The Cathedral of Palma, known as La Seu. This majestic Gothic structure, which rises above the sea, stands out for its enormous rose window and bright interior. Partly designed by Antoni Gaudí, it offers spectacular views of Palma Bay. It’s a perfect place to dive into the island’s history while admiring its architecture. - Drach Caves
Located in Porto Cristo, the Drach Caves are one of Mallorca’s most fascinating natural attractions. These underground caves house one of the largest underground lakes in Europe, Lake Martel. During the visit, you can enjoy a boat ride and a classical music concert held underground, creating a magical atmosphere. - Serra de Tramuntana
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serra de Tramuntana is a mountain range running along Mallorca’s northwest coast. It’s ideal for hiking and nature lovers. With its impressive cliffs, picturesque villages like Valldemossa and Deià, and panoramic views of the Mediterranean, it’s a place you shouldn’t miss. - Cape Formentor
At the northernmost tip of the island, Cape Formentor offers some of the most dramatic and photogenic landscapes in Mallorca. Its rugged cliffs and viewpoints will allow you to enjoy breathtaking views of the sea. Additionally, Formentor Beach, with its crystal-clear waters, is perfect for relaxing after exploring the area. - Sóller and its Old Train
The charming town of Sóller, nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, is famous for its wooden train that connects it to Palma. The ride on this old train lets you enjoy landscapes of orange and olive groves. Once in Sóller, you can stroll through its narrow streets and visit the port, a perfect spot to savor fresh seafood.
