Explore Mallorca – 18 best things to do and see while exploring the island
Mallorca, a small island that belongs to Spain. Mallorca is known for its parties don’t let this fool you. The great parties are mostly in Palma, the capital of Mallorca. The rest of the island has so much more to offer. This island is great for some sunbathing but really great if you like adventure and want to explore the beauty Mallorca has to offer.
Things to do on Mallorca
So, you want to go to Mallorca? Sound like a great plan because there is so much to do and see on Mallorca. From hiking high mountain tops to swimming in clear water. Mallorca is a great destination with a lot of variation.
We stayed on Mallorca for 7 days but I wish we had more time. The island is bigger than you expect and sometimes it takes quite a while to get from one place to the other. With more days, you can relax a little bit more but if you like going in a high speed, just like me, this itinerary can be done in 7 days.
Let's start
1. Palma

5. Port de Sóller
Port de Sóller, a harbor town located a the foot of Sóller. Some people get those two places mixed up, but there is a difference. Port de Sóller has a harbor and a tiny beach with some sunbeds and fun activities like kayaking. You can also enjoy some food here or watch the tram pass through the town.

7. Cala Figuera
A place that surprised me was Cala Figuera. It’s a small town located in the east of the island. In the harbor you’ll find a picture route that brings you to the best places. Follow the route and you’ll see everything there is to see. The route will take you about 45 minutes so it’s a perfect way to explore the harbor of Cala Figuera.

8. Sa Colobra
Where do I even begin with Sa Colorbra? This was our last stop during our week on Mallorca and we almost skipped it because of the heavy rainfall. But many people recommended it so we decided to hop in the car and just go. I am so happy we did because when we reached the parking lot, the sky got clear and we had the place almost to ourselves. The road down to the beach is really intense but completely worth it when you reach the beach after walking 15 minutes from the parking. This view is one of a kind.

11. Cala Llombards
A populair beach on Mallorca is Cala Lombard’s. After visiting I completely understood why so many people liked this place so much. Chill music was playing on the speakers of the little bar at the beach and everyone was just enjoying themselves by swimming, playing volleybal or just sunbathing. We visited this beach at the end of the day and this was perfect because most people had already left and it wasn’t that busy anymore.

12. Pollença
If you like climbing stairs, this is the perfect town for you. Just kidding of course, but yes, to reach the church you have to climb many stairs. But the view alone is worth it and brings you amongst pretty houses with flowers on them and you’ll be rewarded at the top with a small church that is open for visitors.

13. Cala D’or bay 1
Cala D’or has many bays but in this blog I will tell you about the best two bays. The first bay you want to visit is Plato Cala Gran.

14. Cala D’or bay 2
The second bay is Cala Petita. It’s almost identical to Plato Cala Gran, but has a different atmosphere to it. There is a restaurant located at the beach and this bay is smaller and less crowded. When you’re in Cala D’or, make sure to visit both of the bays because they are just a few minutes of walking distance of each other.

Best time to visit – Spain can be visited all year round but the best weather is from the month may till September. The sun will be shining and the temperatures will vary from 20 to 32 degrees.
Nicely put. Thanks.
