About Mallorca

Mallorca rewards those who look beyond the overdeveloped south. The Tramuntana mountain range — a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of olive groves, limestone peaks and stone-walled terraces — offers some of the Mediterranean's best cycling and hiking. Palma's old city conceals boutique hotels in Renaissance palaces and a cathedral whose rose window floods the nave with morning gold.

Highlights

  • Sa Calobra mountain road and cove
  • Tramuntana mountain hiking (UNESCO)
  • Palma Cathedral (La Seu) at sunset
  • Valldemossa village and Chopin museum
  • Formentor peninsula beaches
  • Deià village and coves
