EnglishTour Overview
Mallorca (or Majorca to some) has a tranquil, timeless landscape. Rising abruptly from the interior are the craggy Tramuntana Mountains, over which birds of prey soar on the breeze. Following a network of established trails, we trek to some of the highest peaks and enjoy spectacular views of the Mediterranean. Elsewhere, we discover hamlets with medieval churches and pass terraced hillsides adorned with sun-kissed citrus trees. In contrast, our coastal walks reveal sleepy fishing marinas, secret coves and pebble bays.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Start Puerto Sóller
Meals Included: Dinner
We start at our hotel in Puerto Sóller and have a welcome group dinner in the evening.
Accommodation: Hotel Eden Nord (or similar)
Day 2 : Walk To Deia, Stopping For A Dip At Cala Deia – Activity Level 3 (Moderate) And Activity Level 5 (Challenging) Departures
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
We walk along the coast to the beautiful little bay of Cala Deiá, where (time permitting) we can paddle in the turquoise waters. From here, we head inland towards Deiá, one of the most beautiful villages in Mallorca owing to its idyllic setting in the hills. This walk explores the delightful area between the mountains and sea, using old tracks and paths over the cliffs, and offers coastal views along the Mediterranean pinewoods and coastal shrubs. We stop for a picnic lunch along the way.
Accommodation: Hotel Eden Nord (or similar)
Walking distance: 8mi (12km);Â ascent: 1,315ft (400m); descent: 820ft (250m); duration: five hours
Day 3 : Tram Ride To Sóller; Take The Pilgrim Steps From Biniaraitx - Activity Level 3 (Moderate) Departures
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
We take the historic wooden tram to Sóller and walk towards the village of Biniaraitx. From here, we will walk a wonderful circular route through the middle section of the Biniaraix ravine, which will allow us to discover Mallorca’s popular Dry Stone Route. The route was named due to the special technique which was used to line the route using only stones laid on top of each other, which can be identified with the many terraces and cobbled paths. On the route we will stop to have a picnic surrounded by a 50 metre waterfall.
Afterwards we will follow a different path back down to the centre of Sóller, where we usually stop for a drink or a wander around the town before taking the tram back to Puerto Sóller.
Accommodation: Hotel Eden Nord (or similar)
Walking distance: 6.5 mi (10.5km); ascent: 1,476ft (450m); descent: 1,476ft (450m); duration: Â five hours
Day 4 : Free Day – Activity Level 3 (Moderate) And Activity Level 5 (Challenging) Departures
Today has been left free for you to use as you wish. Choose to relax in Puerto Sóller or explore elsewhere on the island. Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and there is a wealth of things to see and do – your leader will provide further details and help you to arrange any excursions locally. For instance, you may decide to spend the day in Sóller (inland from Puerto Sóller) – wandering through its narrow streets and visiting museums. Other options include visiting picturesque Valldemossa or the island capital, Palma, which is home to a magnificent cathedral, numerous churches, museums and excellent shopping opportunities. It is recommended to take the historic wooden train through the mountains between Sóller and Palma at least one way. For something a little different, it is possible to take a taxi boat to Sa Foradada (to eat at the restaurant) or take the ferry to La Calobra to visit the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis Gorge.
Accommodation: Hotel Eden Nord (or similar)

From here, we follow an old mule track away from the coast to Coll de Moncaire and head inland through a hidden and unspoilt little valley to Balitx farm. Next, we climb up to Coll de Biniamar to join the coastal path of Sa Costera, offering spectacular scenery throughout, until we reach the little bay of Cala Tuent where the bus will meet us for the transfer (approximately one hour) along the beautiful Sa Calobra road to the Lluc Monastery.

Accommodation
The accommodation on this walking trip in Mallorca is split across two properties:Â
Puerto Sóller: Hotel Eden Nord (nights 1-4)Â
Spend the first four nights at Eden Nord, a 112-room hotel just 655ft (200m) from a sandy beach. It has a seasonal outdoor pool, plus plenty of loungers and a solarium - a great spot to relax when you’re not out walking. It also has a bright and breezy restaurant serving food from Mallorca and beyond, plus a bar selling cocktails, beers and wines.Â
Lluc: Lluc Monastery (nights 5-7)Â
For the remaining three nights, we stay in an ancient monastery that’s considered the most holy site on the island. Pilgrims arrive from far and wide to visit a statue of the Virgin Mary, which, in the 13th century, miraculously reappeared in this spot after being taken to a local village church. We stay in the guesthouse-style accommodation, plus there’s a seasonal pool and botanic garden for downtime. The Sa Fonda restaurant, operational since 1921, serves Mallorcan cuisine made with local products.Â
