If you have Mallorca on your radar for this summer, get ready for more than just beaches and sunshine.

This island goes far beyond the typical, and if you plan well, you can have an amazing few days with a true Mediterranean vibe.

Here are 15 plans that will help you put together an unforgettable trip.

Tapas and Drinks in Santa Catalina

Start strong with a stroll through Santa Catalina in Palma.

This neighbourhood blends a maritime style with a laid-back atmosphere. It’s easy to get to from anywhere in the city, even by walking from the historic centre.

The Santa Catalina market is a must-visit: try some seafood tapas or ceviche, then look for a terrace on Carrer de Sant Magí. From there, you can extend the evening with a drink at a bar with good music.

Sunset at Sa Foradada

Near Deià, there’s a viewpoint that has earned its place on the list: Sa Foradada.

The road to get there is narrow and winding, but the sea views (yes, we know we say this a lot) are worth it. Arrive early, park at the restaurant with the same name, and enjoy a cold beer while the sun sets behind the iconic rock arch.

It’s not just about the photo; it’s one of those moments you have to experience.

Sunday Lunch in Puerto de Sóller

Whether you arrive by car or take the old train from Palma, Puerto de Sóller has that charming fishing village vibe with plenty of style.

Perfect for a long lunch on a terrace by the sea. We recommend trying the arroz brut or frito mallorquín if you want something authentic. Then, take a stroll along the promenade or have an artisanal ice cream on the beach.

Cycling Route Through Pla de Mallorca

Fancy something more active? Rent a road bike or an e-bike and take a cycling route through Pla de Mallorca.

Villages like Sineu, Petra, and Lloret de Vistalegre are perfect for stopping and having a drink. Little traffic, dry landscapes, and the occasional typical windmill. Get up early to avoid the heat and don’t forget sunscreen and a large bottle of water.

Dinner Among the Vineyards in Binissalem

Mallorca is also a land of wine, and Binissalem knows it well.

Book a dinner at a winery that offers pairing menus, such as Vins Nadal or José L. Ferrer. Many wineries offer tours + tastings + dinner all in one place.

It’s a unique plan, ideal for a special night without the stress.

Santanyí Market, Saturday Plan

On Wednesdays and Saturdays in the morning, the centre of Santanyí comes alive with its market.

You can drive there and park on the outskirts, but you’ll need to walk a bit. Stroll through the village streets, buy some handmade products, clothes, or local sausages, and finish with a coffee or toast at one of the terraces in the centre.

Boat Trip Around the South of the Island

If you’re in a group or as a couple and want something special, renting an unlicensed boat around Cala d’Or or Porto Petro is a great plan.

You can stop at coves like Cala Mitjana or Cala Sa Nau, bring your own food and drinks, and spend the day sailing at your own pace. Make sure to check the wind forecast and book in advance.

Hiking in the Serra de Tramuntana

For those who aren’t satisfied with lying in the sun, there are routes that connect you with another side of Mallorca.

From Valldemossa to Deià, or from Cúber to Puig de l’Ofre, there are options for all levels. Wear good shoes, bring water, a cap, and start early.

It’s another way to see the island and understand why the Tramuntana is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Urban Tour of Palma’s Historic Centre

Okay, yes, Palma isn’t just for passing through the airport.

Its historic centre has so much to offer: from the Cathedral to the Jewish Quarter, with hidden courtyards and charming alleyways.

You can take a guided tour or wander aimlessly. Don’t leave without visiting Bar Bosch or trying a traditional ensaimada from an old bakery.

Cocktail Afternoon in Illetes

Just 15 minutes from Palma, you’ll find an area with elegant beach clubs, but without the same crowds as Magaluf.

Illetes is ideal for spending an afternoon with your feet in the sand, a cocktail in hand, and good background music.

Book a sunbed if you want to stay comfortable all day, or just pop in for a drink with a view. It’s better to go on weekdays to avoid crowds.

Excursion to Cabrera

Cabrera is a national park and, although it may not seem like it, it’s pretty close. From Colònia de Sant Jordi, boat trips take you around the island and allow you to swim in the famous Blue Cave.

A must for nature lovers.

Art Visit at the Miró Foundation

If you’re in the mood for a cultural plan, the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation is a hidden gem that not everyone knows about.

Located in Palma, not far from Cala Major, it gives you the chance to see the artist’s original studio, his works, and how he lived on the island. Ideal for escaping the midday sun and soaking up some art without the crowds.

Dinner with Live Music in Alcúdia

The old town of Alcúdia, walled and well-preserved, is perfect for a different kind of dinner.

Look for a restaurant with live music (there are many in summer) and enjoy the atmosphere with a glass of wine or craft beer.

If you go in the afternoon, you can also visit the nearby Roman theatre or stroll through the market.

Relax and Breakfast on a Farm with a Pool

And if you want a more relaxed plan to end your trip, nothing beats booking a quiet finca with a pool and staying for one more night before heading home.

Wake up without a rush, enjoy freshly brewed coffee, brown bread, and fruit, take a swim, and think: “This is living well.”

If you’re unsure where to look, Fincas Mallorca Charme can help you find just what you need.
