16 must-see attractions and activities in Mallorca

7) Mondrago Natural Park

Mondragó Nature Park is also located in Santanyi, so you can visit both Es Pontás and Mondragó Nature Park on the same day. Entry to this nature reserve is free, so you can enjoy a variety of spectacular landscapes covering a total area of ​​800 hectares! You will discover the S’Amarador pond, sand dunes, pine forests, farmland, swamps, sea cliffs and a wide variety of bird species.

You can explore the park on foot or by bike, with a variety of routes to choose from. Please note that guided tours of the park are available on Saturdays, so if you are interested, please make an appointment directly at the information center, which is open from 9am to 4pm daily. There are also two paid car parks, picnic areas, a children’s play area and toilets in the park.

8) Sierra de Tramuntana

The Tramuntana Mountains are undoubtedly one of Spain’s natural wonders. Here you can visit many charming little villages typical of the region, such as Valldemossa, Banaylbufar and Soller.

Sheer cliffs, quiet coves and small pine forests: you will find breathtaking scenery in this hilly area that rises over 1,400 metres above sea level. Numerous hiking trails will allow you to fully appreciate this wild and unspoilt nature.

9) Esterents Village

The magnificent village of Estellenses has long been forgotten by tourists in Mallorca. It is located in the Serra de Tramuntana and can be reached from the MA-10 road, one of the most beautiful roads on the island, which offers magnificent sea views along the way. This peaceful village of about 400 inhabitants, nestled between the mountains and the coast, has retained its secluded charm. In this village you can visit the Church of San Juan Bautista, Antelm Alemany, Coll des Pi and Cala D’Estellencs. The road to get there requires some effort, but you will be well rewarded by this magical place!

10) Sarona Island

If you love nature and hiking, I recommend that you spend at least half a day on the island of Saronra during your visit. Located southwest of Mallorca, opposite the island of Saint Elm, the island and its islets were declared a natural park in 1995 and access to the island is subject to regulations. If you are looking for unexplored sites and untouched landscapes, Mallorca is the island for you. There are four hiking routes on the island, suitable for visitors of different abilities, but all are a great way to explore the island and its unspoiled nature. However, if you are looking for an island with flat, easy to walk areas and want to soak up the sun on the beaches, this is not the island for you.
