What are the best scenic walking or biking routes around Mallorca?

Some of the finest routes for walking and cycling weave through the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic cliffs and lush valleys. The Ma-10 road, threading through towns like Valldemossa and Deià, offers stunning landscapes and well-marked trails that suit a range of fitness levels. The vintage Soller railway line also provides a charming backdrop if you prefer a gentler way to take in the views before setting off on foot or bike.

For beach lovers, the coastal path near Cala Mondragó and Cala Llombards reveals coves framed by turquoise waters and fragrant pine woods—ideal for a sunny, invigorating ride or walk. Around Cap de Formentor, winding roads reward cyclists with sweeping panoramas over the Mediterranean, while walkers can explore hidden beaches or the lighthouse perched at the tip.

Closer to Palma, the Ma-13 and Ma-19 roads connect historic towns like Manacor and Alcúdia with quieter inland routes through olive groves and almond orchards. The TIB buses often allow bikes onboard, making it easier to plan day trips combining transport and outdoor adventure. After your exertions, sampling local specialties such as pa amb oli or a glass of Binissalem wine in a traditional village square adds a perfect ending to your route. With so much variety, the island’s landscape invites exploration on two wheels or on foot, revealing unexpected beauty at every turn.
