Full Description
S'Arenal and Platja de Palma
S'Arenal is the lively resort at the eastern end of Platja de Palma, the long sandy beach that curves around the Bay of Palma from Can Pastilla. It sits on the boundary between Palma and the municipality of Llucmajor, which makes it the natural gateway to the quiet countryside that lies just behind the hotels and the seafront.
The tour starts on a quiet side street in S'Arenal, about 20 minutes by car from Palma and 10 minutes from the airport. The street is a dead end with no parking, so leave your car before arriving and walk the last stretch. At the start the guide checks driving licences, gives a safety briefing and helps everyone get comfortable with the buggies before the convoy sets off.
The Llucmajor Countryside
Llucmajor is the largest municipality in Mallorca by area, a broad limestone plateau of farms, old country estates and narrow lanes that most visitors never see. The landscape is classic rural Mallorca: silvery olive trees, almond orchards that blossom white in February, carob trees and fields divided by dry-stone walls, a building craft recognised by UNESCO as part of the intangible heritage of Spain and other Mediterranean countries.
On this Mallorca buggy tour you spend around half an hour on these backroads, away from traffic, with the guide leading the convoy at a comfortable pace. Dusty tracks, gentle bends and open views make it fun for first-time drivers and still exciting for those who have done off-road trips before. Wear sunglasses, as protective glasses are not provided.
The Llucmajor Coast
Where the plateau meets the sea, the coast of Llucmajor turns into low cliffs above clear water, stretching from S'Arenal towards Cap Enderrocat and the quiet villages of Cala Blava and Bellavista. The waters below are part of the Bay of Palma marine reserve, created in 1982 to protect the seabed and its fish.
The ride along the coast is the most scenic part of the route: the sea opens up on one side, with Palma and the Tramuntana mountains visible across the bay on a clear day, and the breeze cools you after the countryside. The guide stops for photos where the view is best. The best time to do a buggy tour near Palma is spring or autumn, when the temperatures are pleasant and the sea is still warm enough for a swim.
The Hidden Cove Swim Stop
The highlight of the trip is a stop at a small, hidden cove known to the guides, with clear water and rocks to sit on. In summer you have about 30 minutes to swim, walk along the shore or simply sunbathe before getting back in the buggies. Bring your swimwear and a towel in a small bag, as there are no facilities at the cove.
In winter, or when the weather is not suitable for swimming, the guide takes the group to a coastal viewpoint instead and the break is shorter. Either way, the stop is a welcome pause in the middle of the ride and a chance for photos of the coast. Afterwards the convoy rides back towards S'Arenal for about 30 minutes, finishing close to the starting point.
