Mallorca Itinerary: How to Spend from 3 to 7 Days in Mallorca, Spain

Posted on Last updated: June 10, 2023

Need help planning your Mallorca itinerary? You’ve come to the right place!

In this article I have outlined everything you need to know to plan the perfect Mallorca itinerary, regardless of whether you’re spending three or seven days in Mallorca.

This includes the must-see places in Mallorca, a day-by-day breakdown of where to go, how to get around the island, where to stay and more!

The biggest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca is characterised by its lush green landscape, turquoise waters, pristine beaches and charming villages. It’s easy to see why Mallorca is such a popular destination in Spain.

Mallorca isn’t a very big island, but there is plenty to do. Which is why I have outlined Mallorca itineraries for three, five and seven days.

Depending on how much time you have, how much you want to see and how much time you want to spend relaxing on beautiful beaches, I’m sure you’ll find an itinerary for your taste.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s dive in and plan the perfect Mallorca itinerary for you!

Logistical tips for your Mallorca itinerary

Before we dive straight into my day by day Mallorca itinerary , I wanted to give you some logistical tips that will ensure your Mallorca trip runs as smoothly as possible.

How many days in Mallorca?

It depends on how much time you have to spare, obviously, but I would say that three days days in Mallorca is the bare minimum.

If you can give yourself five days that would be better, as you’ll be able to explore beyond the main tourist spots.  

Mainly, this will give you the chance to discover more of the island’s hidden calas (coves), secluded spots perfect for sunbathing and swimming and generally chilling out.  

If you can add another couple of days and make it a week in Mallorca? That would be ideal.

The town of Pollensa from above

This way you won’t have to rush things, and you’ll get to spend more of your time doing what you’re supposed to do here – having fun, rather than clockwatching and ticking off destinations.

This Mallorca itinerary is composed by a core Mallorca 3-day itinerary, where you will visit all of the must-see sights on the island that you absolutely cannot miss, regardless of how long you spend in Mallorca.

The next itineraries, for five days in Mallorca and then seven days in Mallorca. are built on the core 3-day one, and include additional beautiful spots that you can visit.

Depending on your interests and how long you have, you can shuffle the days around to create your own perfect Mallorca itinerary.

Discovering the local shops of Palma de Mallorca

How to get around Mallorca

Three words: Mallorca road trip. Getting a rental car and having your own set of wheels to get around is the best way to travel around this island.

There is public transport, of course, but it’s not that great. This exists in the form of buses, which connect the main towns, but they don’t go everywhere that you might want to explore.

In terms of driving yourself around, first off you’ll need a car. There are a range of different international (and local) car rental companies on the island, all with different options.  

My advice is to book in advance to avoid missing out on the car you really want – particularly if you’re travelling during high season.

Cars are limited on islands, and it has recently become an issue in Tenerife as well. You have to reserve your car rental before, because if you don’t, there simply won’t be cars available on the island for you to rent.

Discovering Deia, and Mallorca in general, by car

Best time to visit Mallorca

No matter how many days in Mallorca you have to spare, it pays to know the best time of year to visit.

While the summer months are objectively “the best” time to visit this Balearic island, it’s clearly when the rest of the world also thinks it’s the best time to go, meaning that the island is super super busy.  

Beaches and the smaller calas are packed with people – I’ve seen people queueing for one hour plus to get to the beach at Cala del Moro (in August 2022).

In short, while summer is warm and sunny, it can be a nightmare.  

Instead, you should visit Mallorca during the so-called shoulder season, which is around late spring to early June, and again early autumn; September and early October still have beautiful weather.  

Mallorca is also a popular winter sun destination , but note that it does start getting chilly (especially at night) in November.

Where to stay in Mallorca

Choosing where to stay in Mallorca can be tricky, as each town and area has a distinctive vibe and is best suited for different types of travellers. For example, if you’re looking for nightlife, you will want to stay in Magaluf.

If you’re looking for beautiful beaches, you can stick to the east coast of the island. If you want city life, Palma de Mallorca is the place to be. 

Regardless of where you choose to stay, you can pick one place as base, and from there adventure around the island.

Mallorca is fairly small, and everything is a short drive away, there’s no need to change hotels for this itinerary. I listed below some of the best places to stay in Mallorca for every budget.

Best Mallorca tours

Regardless of how long your Mallorca itinerary will be, there are some awesome tours you should join, to maximise your time in Mallorca and ensure you have the best time in this amazing Spanish island.

I always suggest booking your tours online beforehand, especially if you’re travelling in high season, so you don’t have to worry about it once there.

GetYourGuide is my favourite tour booking platform, as they offer cancellation up to 24 hours before, and you can see reviews by previous travellers.

What to pack for your Mallorca itinerary

There aren’t many specific items you need to bring to Mallorca, beyond the usual travel essentials , as you can easily purchase anything there. That said, here are some things I recommend you don’t forget.

Camera – Given how stunning Mallorca is, you want to make sure you capture it in all its beauty!

Fast drying towel – If you plan on visiting all the beaches of this Mallorca itinerary, you’ll want one of these! They don’t take up much space and dry quickly, so you don’t have to worry about your towel not drying from one day to the next.

Walking shoes – Given how much you will be walking, make sure you have comfortable shoes!

Power bank – Regardless of if you have a charger or not, it’s always handy to bring one of these, so whether you need your phone for photos or mapping your way, you know it won’t abandon you when you most need it!

International adapter – You can buy it in Mallorca if you forget it, but it’s always a pain having to head out to search for one with your phone battery dying on you.

Mallorca 3-Day Itinerary

Got 3 days in Mallorca? Here’s a good round-up of what you should be seeing and doing on the island to really maximise your time, making the most of the island’s hotspots.  

You’ll have the chance to see Mallorca’s biggest attractions, explore the island (road trip!) and hit up a few lesser visited towns and calas too.

Mallorca Itinerary: Day 1

Explore palma de mallorca.

Kickstart your Mallorca itinerary with a trip to the capital of this Spanish island. This is the main city on Mallorca, meaning there are a ton of cool spots to check out.

The city itself dates back to the 13th century, so you can bet there are a load of historical sights to make all your city wanderings worth it.

Exploring the streets of Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Visit the Catedral de Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca’s Gothic cathedral lies at the heart of the city. After centuries of Moorish occupation, construction on this soaring cathedral began in 1230 on the site of a mosque.

As it took hundreds of years to build, it features a range of architectural styles, but its centrepiece has to be its Gothic rosette window.

It’s open Monday to Friday, 10AM to 5:15PM and on Saturdays, 10AM to 2:15PM (closed Sundays). Entrance is €9, which also gives you access to the Museum of Sacred Art.

If you want to avoid the queues, make sure to purchase your fast track Palma de Mallorca cathedral ticket online beforehand ! Your Mallorca itinerary only allows for one day in Palma, you don’t want to spend it queueing!

Click here to purchase your skip the line entrance ticket to the Palma de Mallorca Cathedral, or check out prices & availability in the calendar below!

Wander around the streets of the city

The streets of Palma de Mallorca are beautifully winding – a warren of restaurants, bars and artists’ studios, pockmarked by historic sights and aristocratic townhouses.

The city’s central streets in particular are perfect for strolling around, camera in hand, stumbling across charming hidden squares, local markets and Baroque churches.

Exploring the beautiful streets and architecture of Palma de Mallorca

Llotja de Palma

One of the most beautiful buildings in the whole city is the Llotja de Palma.

Dating back to the 15th century, this former guild building – once the centre of the island’s maritime trade, and a meeting place for merchants – features a mix of Renaissance and Gothic architecture.

While it looks stunning, it also plays host to occasional art exhibitions.    It’s open every day (except Mondays), 10:30AM – 1:30PM and 5:30PM to 9PM, and entrance is free.

Bastion de Sant Pere

This fortification was built between 1575 and 1578, and once boasted some serious artillery for the protection of the island. Disused since 1952, in the 1990s it became the site of the Museum of Contemporary Art Es Baluard.  

If you’re not into art, don’t worry, as it’s not just about that; there’s also a viewing deck, a terrace and an old cistern (used for holding water).

The view from the walls of the cathedral and harbour makes it a worthwhile stop.

Passeig del Born

This pretty avenue is a beautiful place to stroll. Set in the centre of Palma de Mallorca, this tree-lined boulevard is where you should go to soak up some of the energy of the city.

Placa Major

Speaking of energy, you’ll find plenty of that at Placa Major, the main central square of Palma de Mallorca.

Head here to people-watch, stop for a snack or a refreshing drink, and lap up the traditional architecture edging the plaza.  

There are plenty of shops and cafes to choose from here. The smaller Placa de Cort, a three-minute stroll from here, is where you’ll find the city’s town hall. There’s also a (famous) 600-year-old olive tree here.

Dine out in Palma

There are a lot of cafes and bars dotted around Placa de Cort. Throughout the centre of the city, dining is best done at one of the many cool tapas restaurants.

If you’re feeling fancy, head over to the Michelin-starred Zaranda for an unforgettable tasting menu.

Mallorca itinerary: Day 2  

Explore the town of valldemossa.

Day two of your 3 days Mallorca itinerary begins in the cute historical town of Valldemossa. It’s situated around a 20-minute drive from Palma, so you can consider this stop the start of your Mallorca road trip.

Valldemossa is a beautiful town nestled amongst the Mallorcan mountains. It’s a historical medieval town, and walking through its streets will feel like stepping back in time.

Imagine cobbled streets, golden brick houses and stunning views over the surrounding countryside. After the glamorous city life of Palma de Mallorca, it’s the perfect place to discover the more traditional side of Mallorca.

Discover Deia

After exploring the picturesque mountain village of Valldemossa, it’s time to head to Deia, a 15-minute drive along the coast.

Another charming town, Deia boasts some truly amazing sea views from its position at the foot of the Teix mountain.  

There are local boutiques and interesting galleries here, as well as a hearty food scene if you’re feeling hungry.

The vibe is similar to Valldemossa, with the cobbled streets and historical buildings, but with the added plus of its views reaching all the way to the sea.

It might sound a bit creepy, but make sure to head to the cemetery of Deia, as from here you get the best views over the town, mountains and sea.

Exploring the charming streets of Deia in Mallorca

Relax at Cala Deia

After exploring two historical villages, it’s time to head to the beach! Close to Deia, you will find the famous Cala Deià.

Towards the coast you’ll find this little cala (cove in Spanish). Impossibly picturesque, with restaurants overlooking the sea, it’s a great spot to take a refreshing dip.

Note that if the cove is full (this can happen), you won’t be allowed to drive down; in that case, you have to park in Deia and walk down to the beach for around 45 minutes (and then 45 minutes back up!)

While there’s no doubt that it’s a very picturesque cove, I didn’t personally love it. The beach is rocky, so it’s not a good cala to lie down and just chill.

Go to Chillout Sa Foradada for sunset

Once you’re done swimming in the clear water of Cala Deia, head over to Chillout Sa Foradada for a relaxing sunset drink.

A little further along the coast is this unfussy terrace bar. Perched on the cliffs of Sa Foradada, the sea and cliffs views make for a beautiful backdrop for sunset – the perfect end to your day of exploring.

Mallorca Itinerary: Day 3

Discover pollensa.

This centuries-old town in the northern part of the island is where you begin day 3 of your Mallorca itinerary. Think winding narrow streets, honey-hued houses and a history intrinsically linked to the Knights Templar.

I visited Pollensa on my third trip to Mallorca, and I was pleasantly surprised with this cute town. While it might not be as picturesque as Deia and Valldemossa, it’s still very charming.

You can spend a few hours wandering around its narrow streets, and maybe even climb up its hill to enjoy the views over the town of Pollensa and the surrounding countryside.

Exploring the picturesque streets of Pollensa in Mallorca

Chill at the beach in Pollensa

By now you will have probably realised I like my itineraries to be varied, and include a bit of both history and chilling on the same day. 

A stone’s throw (i.e. 10-minute drive) from Pollensa is the beach at Puerto Pollensa (also known as Port de Pollença). After exploring the town, it’s a great place to head to for some beach chilling.

Alternatively, you could head to nearby Formentor Beach to spend the afternoon lounging around on the sand.  You’ll be heading this way later for sunset, so might as well start to get closer!

There are a bunch of tiny calas around here, so you could move on if the beach is too busy (or you’re feeling restless).

Playa del Moro in Mallorca, Spain

The lighthouse of Cap de Formentor in Mallorca, Spain

Enjoy the sunset from Formentor Lighthouse

Cute historical towns in the morning, pristine beaches in the afternoon, and stunning sunset viewpoints to end the day, what more could you ask of from your Mallorca itinerary?

Watching the sunset from Formentor Lighthouse, with the sun dipping into the Mediterranean Sea and turning the Mallorcan coastline red is a must on any Spain bucket list .

Sunset from this beautiful peninsula is a must. There’s a small cafe at the lighthouse, but I suggest bringing your own food and snacks, and enjoying an Italian-style aperitivo as you watch the sunset!

However, due to over tourism there are road restrictions, meaning that normal cars can’t drive to the lighthouse in high season. 

Instead, you’ll have to leave your car – either at Puerto de Pollensa or Platja de Formentor – and take the public bus.

Have dinner in Alcudia

After a gorgeous sunset, finish up with some equally gorgeous (and cheap) tapas at Sa Portassa, a small restaurant tucked down a side street in the medieval town of Alcudia.

Once the site of a Roman settlement, today it’s a resort town surrounded by medieval walls, with charming streets to explore.

You can spend some time wandering around the cute streets, and then fill up on delicious tapas to end the day.

Mallorca Itinerary 5 Days

If you’ve got 5 days, then you can obviously gets a lot more packed into your Mallorca itinerary.

You’ll really get to experience the vibe of Mallorca, and you’ll end up feeling like staying those extra two days was totally worth it (because it is, trust me). Mainly, this means more beach days!

Mallorca itinerary: Day 4

Discover calo des moro.

On day four of your Mallorca itinerary it’s time to discover one of the most famous beaches in the Mediterranean , also considered one of the best beaches to visit in summer ; Calo des Moro.

The picturesque cove of Calo des Moro is one of the most beautiful beaches on the whole island. Of course, this also means that it can get very busy.

Enjoying the crystal clear water of Cala des Moros in Mallorca

It’s best to go early in the day, which is why you should hit it up first thing on day four of your Mallorca road trip.  

The scramble to the beach itself from the parking lot is a small hike in itself, so bring plenty of water and make sure you’re wearing sturdy walking sandals. There is a small kiosk here for snacks and drinks.

Here you can expect to find crystal clear turquoise water, soft white sand and picturesque cliffs surrounding the beach.

This cala is also a good spot for snorkelling, so if you’ve got a mask and snorkel don’t forget to bring it along!

Relax at Cala S’Almunia

Cala del Moro is beautiful, but it tends to get wayyy to busy as the day goes on, especially in summer. Which is why I suggest spending the morning at Cala del Moro, and then walking over to the nearby Cala S’Almunia.

Not far from the southern tip of Mallorca is this tiny settlement and its lovely little cove. It’s quite unique in that the rocks here form a natural pool, making it a super relaxing place to take a dip.

The beach isn’t very big, but there’s generally more space on the rocks here for lying down and unwinding than there is at the nearby Calo des Moro.

After spending the first few days of your Mallorca itinerary road tripping and exploring around the island, now it’s time to unwind and enjoy the beautiful beaches of this stunning Mediterranean destination.

Go for a night out in Magaluf

After spending the whole day chilling at the beach, you might be feeling pumped and awake for a night out. If that’s the case, there is no better place on the island to do so than in Magaluf.

This notorious party town is where travellers of all ages go to get cheap drinks and dance the night away. I’ll be honest, and admit I’ve never personally been to Magaluf.

That said, I’ve heard plenty of things about it. I’ve heard it can be a bit much, and it can get quite trashy, but if you’re a young traveller visiting Mallorca with a group of friends, it might be just what you’re looking for.

Mallorca Itinerary: Day 5

Discover mondrago natural park.

Start day 5 of your Mallorca itinerary with a trip to Mondrago Natural Park. This 1,893-acre coastal area features grasslands, pine forests, dunes, ravines, and plenty of birdlife.

There are also several different spots to sunbathe and swim here, one of them being the sandy S’Amarador Beach.

It gets crowded in high season, so it’s best to go early in the morning (although if you spent last night partying in Magaluf, you might not be up for that).

The water at S’Amarador Beach is literally crystal clear, so don’t miss out on seeing it for yourself!

Explore the Drach Caves

Once you’ve recovered from your night out, and have spent a solid morning relaxing on the beach, you might start feeling the need for more adventures. 

In that case, you can go explore the unique Drach Caves. They’re located 45-60 minutes drive away from S’Amarador along the coast.

First mentioned in 1388, this huge cave system is 4 kilometres long and reaches a maximum depth of 25 metres.

Entering this natural cathedral-like structure is truly magnificent, and will definitely be one of the most amazing caves you visit. It’s open every day from 9AM to 5PM, and tickets cost €16.

If you’re not feeling heading to the beach in the morning, you can also join an organised tour like this one .

That way you’ll have someone pick you up, take you to Drach Caves, tell you more about the caves and then take you back to your hotel.

Mallorca Itinerary 7 Days

If you’ve got time for 7 days in Mallorca, you’ll have an extra two days to play with, allowing you to explore much more of the island (and its beaches, obviously).

Mallorca Itinerary: Day 6  

Discover the calas and beaches of the east coast.

For those of you who have a week in Mallorca, you’ll be glad to hear that your trotting about days are over. You can spend the last two days of your itinerary relaxing, and making the most of the Mallorcan beaches.

You can spend day 6 at a leisurely pace, exploring some of the best beaches on a road trip of Mallorca’s east coast (where the most picturesque and less busy calas are found).

You’ll be spoilt for choice! You can spend time relaxing at the Cala Varques, or Cala Mesquida and Cala Agulla, located an hour or so to the north.

There’s also the large Playa del Muro, which is more on the northern coast, towards Puerto de Pollensa.  Wherever you decide to go, you’re sure to find stunning beaches waiting for you.

Mallorca itinerary: Day 7

Head back to s’arenal  .

S’Arenal is a good spot to spend the final day of your week in Mallorca itinerary. This popular resort town has a 210-metre-long beach and plenty of bars and restaurants, and even a water park!

Which makes for a comprehensively fun and relaxing spot to finish your trip.   It’s also close to the Palma de Mallorca airport, which is extra handy.

Depending on your flight time, you could even drive via Far de Cap Blanc and Cala Pi on the way to S’Arenal, thus fitting in yet more beautiful Mallorca coastline into your trip.

Final thoughts on the ultimate Mallorca itinerary

There you have it, the ultimate Mallorca itinerary! Have you been to Mallorca before? How did you find it? Let me know in the comments below!

The biggest of the Balearic Islands, there’s no denying that Mallorca is a great destination for a fun summer island road trip. With its cute villages, pristine beaches and stunning landscapes, it has plenty to offer.

While many travellers rave about Barcelona , Madrid, Seville and other stunning Spanish cities, I have to admit I’m more of a fan of the Spanish islands.

Fuerteventura , Tenerife , Mallorca and all other Spanish islands hold a special place in my heart. I find them incredibly varied and interesting places to discover.

I hope you will find my Mallorca itinerary useful in planning your trip to Mallorca, regardless of whether you spend three days or seven days in Mallorca! If you have any questions, just let me know in the comments below!

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.
