What are the must-see attractions and sights to visit on the island during my trip?

Start with Palma’s historic centre, where the soaring Gothic cathedral and the lively Plaça Major encapsulate the island's past and present. Wander through its narrow streets to discover vibrant markets like Mercat de l'Olivar, where you can taste local delicacies such as sobrassada and freshly baked ensaimadas. From Palma, take the scenic Serra de Tramuntana mountain road, the Ma-10, to visit picturesque towns like Valldemossa and Deià, famed for their cobbled streets, artisanal shops, and stunning views.

Nature lovers shouldn’t miss the pristine coves of Cala Mondragó and Cala Llombards, or the expansive sands of Es Trenc — perfect spots for swimming and soaking up the Mediterranean sun. On the north coast, the cap de Formentor offers dramatic cliffs and panoramic views best seen from the winding Ma-2210 road. For a more relaxed pace, explore the charming market towns of Alcúdia and Pollença, where historic streets and local art galleries bring the island’s culture to life.

If your visit coincides with a local festival like Nit de Foc in Palma or the Festa de l'Ametler in Sóller, seize the opportunity to experience these vibrant celebrations of Mallorcan tradition. For insight into the island’s heritage, the fishermen’s village of Port de Sóller and the nearby vintage railway offer a nostalgic glimpse into island life. Sampling Binissalem wines or a glass of Hierbas liqueur under the warm sun rounds out a perfectly local experience.
