Mallorca
Plan Mallorca with Haqqi Tours: day tours, private airport transfers, attraction tickets and packages, run by our own team and confirmed on WhatsApp in Arabic or English.
Step out of your hotel in Palma’s old quarter and Mallorca begins with light: sun pouring onto the golden sandstone of La Seu cathedral, its rose window glowing above the bay, the smell of warm ensaïmada pastries drifting from a bakery doorway, and shutters swinging open onto quiet stone patios hung with ferns. Below the walls, the lake of the Parc de la Mar mirrors the cathedral, and beyond the masts of the marina the Serra de Tramuntana rises blue-grey on the horizon.

Mallorca at first sight
Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, a crossroads of the western Mediterranean ruled in turn by Romans, Moors and the Crown of Aragon. Beyond its famous beaches lies an island of mountain villages, olive terraces, limestone caves and a capital as cultured as any city on the mainland.
Why include Mallorca in your itinerary?
- The Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO-listed range of dry-stone terraces, olive groves and honey-coloured villages, drops straight into the sea, giving Mallorca some of the most dramatic coastal roads and viewpoints in the whole Mediterranean.
- Palma is a true capital rather than a resort: a Gothic cathedral on the waterfront, a royal palace with Moorish foundations, a circular hilltop castle and an old town of hidden patios that rewards a slow day of exploring.
- Few islands pack such variety into one place: turquoise coves on the east coast, vast caves with underground lakes, a vintage wooden train through orange groves and the wild cape of Formentor, all within easy reach of one hotel.
Signature experiences in Mallorca
La Seu Cathedral and Palma’s Royal Quarter
Rising straight from the old sea walls, Palma’s cathedral, La Seu, is one of Europe’s great Gothic churches, its soaring nave lit by an immense rose window and crowned by a wrought-iron canopy designed by Antoni Gaudí. Next door, the Almudaina Palace, built over a Moorish fortress, still serves the Spanish royal household, and the nearby Arab Baths keep a horseshoe-arched hall in a quiet garden. We issue entry tickets, and our guided day tour of Palma links these sites with the old town lanes and Bellver Castle.
Ensaïmadas, Sobrasada and the Olivar Market
Mallorcan mornings start with an ensaïmada, a feather-light spiral pastry dusted with sugar, eaten with thick hot chocolate in one of Palma’s historic cafés. At the Mercat de l’Olivar, stalls hold deep-red sobrasada, bunches of sun-dried ramallet tomatoes, Sóller oranges, almonds and fragrant local olive oil, and at lunchtime locals order pa amb oli, rustic bread rubbed with tomato and oil and topped with cheese and olives. Our guided day tour of Palma pauses at the market, and our team recommends traditional eateries away from the busy waterfront.
Palma Old Town and Santa Catalina
Behind the cathedral, the Casc Antic is a web of honey-stone lanes where heavy wooden doors open onto courtyards with sweeping stone staircases and potted palms. Wander past the Plaça Major and the modernist façades around the Plaça del Mercat to the elegant Born promenade, then continue west to Santa Catalina, a former fishermen’s quarter of colourful houses, a busy covered market and lively cafés. The area is best explored on foot, and our team can arrange a private car with driver up to Bellver Castle for the sunset view.
The Sóller Train and the Tramuntana
One of Mallorca’s great journeys begins in Palma aboard the vintage wooden train to Sóller, rattling through almond groves and mountain tunnels before descending into a valley of orange and lemon trees. A century-old tram then carries you on to the horseshoe bay of Port de Sóller. Our guided day tour combines the train with the mountain villages of Valldemossa and Deià and the hairpin road down to Sa Calobra, and we issue the train tickets so your seats are secured in high season.
The Drach Caves, East Coast Coves and Formentor
On the east coast, the Caves of Drach lead deep underground to Lake Martel, one of Europe’s largest underground lakes, where a short classical concert echoes across the still water. Nearby, coves such as Cala Mondragó shelter pine-fringed turquoise water. In the far north, the road to Cap de Formentor twists along sheer cliffs to a lighthouse above the open sea. We issue timed cave tickets and run guided day tours, or arrange a private car with driver for a tailored island loop.
Neighbourhoods and quarters to know in Mallorca
Palma Old Town
The Casc Antic is the best base for culture lovers: the cathedral, the Almudaina, museums, boutique hotels in restored mansions and restaurants all within walking distance. It is safe, atmospheric and lively until late, with quieter lanes away from the Born. Staying here means quick airport transfers and a short drive to the port for ferries and our guided day tours.
Santa Catalina and Portixol
West of the centre, Santa Catalina mixes traditional fishermen’s houses, a busy food market and an international café scene, while Portixol and Ciutat Jardí to the east offer a seaside promenade with small beaches and seafood restaurants. Both are safe and relaxed, close to the city yet with a real neighbourhood feel, and suit couples and longer stays.
Sóller and the Tramuntana Villages
In the mountains, the town of Sóller and its port, Valldemossa and Deià offer stone houses, terraced valleys and a gentler pace. Evenings are peaceful and starry, ideal for couples and travellers who want trails and sea views rather than crowds. The roads are winding, so a private car with driver arranged by our team makes arrivals and day trips much easier.
Alcúdia and Pollença
In the north, the walled old town of Alcúdia and the hill town of Pollença sit near long, shallow sandy bays that are perfect for families with young children. The area is calm, safe and green, with the Roman ruins of Pollentia, the Sunday market in Pollença and quick access to Cap de Formentor. It is about an hour from the airport by private transfer.
How long to stay in Mallorca and how to pair it
Recommended stay
Allow four to five nights for Mallorca: one or two days for Palma, one for the Sóller train and the Tramuntana villages, one for the Drach Caves and the east coast coves, and one for Formentor or simply the beach. A full week lets you split your stay between Palma and a mountain or northern base.
How to pair it
Mallorca links easily with the mainland and the other islands. For seven days, combine Palma with Barcelona, a short flight or overnight ferry away. Ten days can add Valencia by ferry, or Ibiza for a contrasting island stay. With fourteen days, build a loop of Madrid, Barcelona, Mallorca and Ibiza, or fly south to Malaga and Seville. We issue the flight, train and ferry tickets and arrange private transfers at every port and airport.
Best time to visit Mallorca and the rhythm of the day
Best months
The best months for Mallorca are April to June and September to October, when the sea is warm enough to swim, mountain trails are comfortable and the coves are calmer. July and August are hot and very busy, with the strongest demand for hotels. February brings almond blossom across the island, a lovely quiet season for Palma and the countryside.
The daily rhythm
A Mallorcan day starts with coffee and an ensaïmada, then a morning in Palma or the mountains before the heat builds. Lunch, unhurried and often by the sea, comes around two, followed by a swim or a rest, and many village shops close in the afternoon. Evenings begin with a stroll along the harbour or the Born, and dinner rarely starts before nine.
On-the-ground logistics in Mallorca
Arrival
Palma de Mallorca Airport lies about eight kilometres east of the city, around fifteen to twenty minutes by car to the old town and roughly an hour to Alcúdia or Pollença. Ferries from Barcelona, Valencia and Ibiza dock at Palma’s port. Our private airport transfer meets you in arrivals with a name sign and drives you directly to your hotel anywhere on the island.
Getting around
Palma’s old town is compact and best explored on foot, with city buses for longer hops. Intercity buses connect the main towns, and a rail line runs inland from Palma to Inca, Sa Pobla and Manacor, alongside the historic Sóller train. Licensed taxis and ride-hailing apps work in Palma, but for mountain and coastal roads a private car with driver arranged by our team is easiest.
Local etiquette tip
The custom many visitors miss is that beachwear belongs at the beach. In Palma and the mountain villages, walking through streets, shops or churches in swimwear or without a shirt is frowned upon and in some towns fined. Cover up when you leave the sand, dress modestly for La Seu and village churches, and greet shopkeepers with a friendly “bon dia”.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask most about Mallorca.
Where should first-time visitors stay in Mallorca?
Palma’s old town is the best first base, with the cathedral, museums and restaurants on your doorstep and easy access to the airport, the port and our guided day tours. For a quieter stay, choose Sóller in the mountains or Alcúdia in the north for long family beaches. Many travellers split their nights between Palma and one of these.
Can Mallorca be done as a day trip, or does it need an overnight stay?
Mallorca is an island best enjoyed with overnight stays. A short visit from a cruise ship or ferry can cover Palma’s cathedral and old town, but the Tramuntana, the Sóller train, the caves and the coves need several days. Plan at least four nights to see the island’s variety without rushing.
What is the dress code and etiquette in Mallorca?
Mallorca is relaxed, but beachwear stays on the beach: in Palma and the villages, cover up in streets, shops and restaurants. Shoulders and knees should be covered inside La Seu and other churches. Greet people politely, respect quiet hours in residential areas and avoid flying drones near the cathedral or protected natural areas.
Is Mallorca tourist friendly?
Very much so. Mallorca has welcomed international travellers for generations, with English and German widely spoken, clear signage and a wide choice of hotels, from boutique mansions to family resorts. Our team is available on WhatsApp to arrange private transfers, train and ferry tickets and our guided day tours across the island.
Is it safe to travel to Mallorca now?
Mallorca is generally considered a safe and welcoming destination. Take the usual precautions with bags in busy areas and never leave valuables in parked cars. Before departure, check the official travel advice of your own government, and keep our WhatsApp line handy so our team can assist you at any time during your trip.
What are the must-do things in Mallorca?
Visit La Seu cathedral and Bellver Castle in Palma, ride the vintage train to Sóller, explore Valldemossa and Deià, and take the mountain road down to Sa Calobra. On the east coast, see the Drach Caves and swim at Cala Mondragó, then finish with the cliff road to Cap de Formentor, ideally on our guided day tours.
How many days do you need in Mallorca?
Four to five days is ideal for a first visit to Mallorca: Palma, the Tramuntana and Sóller, the caves and east coast, and a final beach day. A full week allows you to split your stay between Palma and the north or the mountains, and to add a ferry hop to Ibiza or Menorca.
What can I book in Mallorca with Haqqi Tours?
Day tours, attraction tickets, private airport transfers, flight tickets, train tickets and ferry tickets, including Cala Figuera Boat Trip to Calo des Moro and Cala Marmols Mallorca, Off-Road Buggy Tour from Palma Mallorca and Cala Millor Jet Ski Tour to Sea Lion Cave or Lighthouse Mallorca. Each has its own page, and the WhatsApp desk combines any of them into one plan with one written price.
How do I get from the airport to my hotel in Mallorca?
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), also called Son Sant Joan, is about 8 km east of Palma's centre; Playa de Palma is 10 km away, the western resorts of Magaluf and Santa Ponsa lie 28-32 km along the Ma-1, and Alcudia and the north are about an hour by motorway. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.
Is there public transport from the airport to Mallorca?
The A1 airport bus and city bus lines reach Palma centre in 20-30 minutes for a cabin-bag trip, and Playa de Palma has regular buses, but the western, northern and eastern resorts mean changes or long journeys; with luggage, a family or a villa away from the main road, a private car from the terminal is simpler. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.
Which tours are available in Mallorca?
Among them: Cala Figuera Boat Trip to Calo des Moro and Cala Marmols Mallorca, Off-Road Buggy Tour from Palma Mallorca, Cala Millor Jet Ski Tour to Sea Lion Cave or Lighthouse Mallorca, Valldemossa and Soller Sea and Mountain Tour Mallorca and Hot Air Balloon Flight at Sunrise or Sunset Mallorca. Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.
Are the tours private or in a group?
Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.
How do I book?
Fill in the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.
Are the prices fixed?
Yes - every price is agreed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel and does not change on the day.
Do the drivers and guides speak Arabic or English?
It depends on the city and the day, so we do not promise a particular language; tell us your preference and we do our best. The WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.
Can I change or cancel a booking in Mallorca?
Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on the product and on how close to the date the change comes; the desk states them before you pay.
