Spain: Mallorca

Walking in Mallorca

  • Operated by our sister company, Exodus
  • Unearth a traditional and tranquil side of Mallorca Stay in characterful accommodation including a converted monastery Enjoy coastal panoramas and walks in the Tramuntana Mountains Walk through ancient forests and spot birds of prey including falcons, ospreys and vultures

Mallorca (or Majorca to some) has a tranquil, timeless landscape. Rising abruptly from the interior are the craggy Tramuntana Mountains (a Unesco-listed site since 2011), 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.

Day 1: Start Puerto Sóller

We start at our hotel in Puerto Sóller and have a welcome group dinner in the evening.

Day 2: Walk to Deia, stopping for a dip at Cala Deia – Activity Level 3 (Moderate) and Activity Level 5 (Challenging) departures

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. Walking distance: 8mi (12km); ascent: 1,315ft (400m); descent: 820ft (250m); duration: five hours

Day 3: Tram ride to Sóller; take the Pilgrim Steps from Biniaraitx before ascending Es Cornadors - Activity Level 3 (Moderate) and Activity Level 5 (Challenging) departures

We take the tram to Sóller and walk towards the village of Biniaraitx. From here, we follow a wonderful cobbled track known as the Pilgrim Steps, which originally went all the way from Sóller to Lluc to connect the monastery with the port. We then diverge onto a small path up to the Mirador den Quesada, the highpoint of our day at 3,140ft (957m). This mirador, or lookout point, is at the summit of particularly rocky outcrops known as the Cornadors, of which we have had some stunning views on our ascent. We descend past a mountain hut and through fields and forests of holm oak until eventually our track brings us back 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. Walking distance: 10mi (16km); ascent: 3,000ft (915m); descent: 3,000ft (915m); duration: six 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.

Day 5: Leave Puerto Sóller along a coastal mule track to Cala Tuent; transfer to Lluc Monastery – Activity Level 3 (Moderate) departures

After a short drive from the hotel, we start our walk from the Mirador de Ses Barques. 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. Walking distance: 9mi (14km); ascent: 900ft (275m); descent: 2,130ft (650m); duration: five hours

Day 6: Circular walk around Muleta de Binifaldo, passing ancient oak forests – Activity Level 3 (Moderate) departures

Today we enjoy a wonderful circular walk forming an arc around the Monastery of Lluc. The scenery along the route is varied and spectacular, including ancient oak forests, rock formations up to 200ft (60m) high and views of the highest peaks in Mallorca. Walking distance: 6mi (10km); ascent: 885ft (270m); descent: 885ft (270m); duration: four hours

Day 7: Ascent of Puig d'en Galileu – Activity Level 3 (Moderate) departures

We finish the trip on a high, climbing Puig d'en Galileu, which is one of the highest peaks on the island at 3,875ft (1,181m). The recently restored path to the top is beautiful and offers outstanding views across Lluc Valley and the peaks of Tomir and Roig. Walking distance: 6mi (9km); ascent: 2,295ft (700m); descent: 2,295ft (700m); duration: five hours

Day 8: End Lluc

The tour ends after breakfast. If you’d like to explore a little more, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay.

During your holiday you stay at the following hotels. If you'd like to extend your time at any of these or, if you'd like to enhance your stay with an upgraded room, just let us know at the time of booking.

Hotel & Monastery

The first 4 nights are spent in a comfortable hotel in Puerto Soller with en suite rooms, outdoor swimming pool (seasonal), sun terrace, free Wi-Fi, bar and restaurant and is within easy reach of the pebble beach.

For the remaining 3 nights we have a change of scenery as we stay in the beautiful Lluc Monastery. Although not a hotel, this historic 13th Century building is set amidst tranquil countryside and offers excellent en suite rooms and delicious food. Wi-Fi is available in public areas for a fee.

Single rooms are limited on this tour but may be available for a supplement on request. Please enquire at the time of booking.


Meals

Moderate (Activity Level 3) weeks:  

All breakfasts, 4 picnic (packed) lunches and 1 welcome dinner are included.

Challenging (Activity Level 5) weeks:  

All breakfasts, 6 picnic (packed) lunches and 1 welcome dinner are included.

Breakfast: Normally continental style including tea or coffee, fruit juice, bread, jam, honey, marmalade, and sometimes fresh fruit or cheese/ham.

Lunch: Comprises a typical Mallorcan-style Mediterranean packed lunch full of locally grown fresh produce. Lunches will be eaten as picnics during your walks, and will include foods such as bread, tomatoes, peppers, olives and olive oil, Mallorcan cheeses, sausages, fruits, chocolate & biscuits.

Vegetarians: It is possible to cater for vegetarians. A meat and seafood diet is the norm in Mallorca but salads and vegetables are included. Many vegetarians have been on this trip with no problems, but you must be prepared to be flexible and to take the food as you find it. If you are vegetarian or have special dietary requirements, please inform us on booking.

Travel

Our aim is to provide holidays that are unbeatable for choice and flexibility. We've listed our most popular travel options below, however you aren't limited to these - we can tailor-make virtually any holiday to suit.

To find out more about the travel options available call our sales team on 0044 1606 720199 or email sales@headwater.com

Transfers

Airport transfers are included for those on the group flights. Please note that transfers are not included for clients arriving on any other flight, even if Headwater has booked it.

 If you require airport transfers, you may (by prior arrangement only) be able to join the group transfer. Transfers are arranged to coincide with the arrival time of the group flight ‐ please check the group flight details 2 weeks before departure. If you do not take this transfer, or miss it, you must make your own way to the joining point at your own expense.

Private transfers are not available on this trip, however if you are making your own way to Puerto Soller from the airport, the easiest way is to take a taxi from the rank directly outside the airport ‐ the journey should take 30 minutes. The cost of a taxi is likely to be about EUR 60‐70 should you decide to make your way independently.

There are no direct buses or public transport routes from Palma airport to Puerto Soller, but there are various slower indirect options (these may take up to 1.5hrs in total). You can take a local bus from the airport to the main bus station in Palma (Plazade Espanya) for approximately EUR 3, and from there choose between either another bus or the more scenic route by train and tram.

Transportation

Transfers from Palma airport to Soller and from Lluc to Palma airport are by private bus. Other transfers as part of a walk are a combination of private and public buses. The public buses can get busy and occasionally you may have to wait for the next bus but this is not usually a problem. Your luggage will be transported for you from Puerto Soller to Lluc, so you only have to carry a daypack.

Reviews

Everyone who goes on a Headwater holiday will be emailed a link to our post-holiday questionnaire where they can give us an honest assessment of all aspects of their holiday - everything from how quickly we answer the phone to how clean the hotels were - plus an overall rating and comments about their holiday.

Any feedback collected is posted to our website, so that people can make an informed decision based on past experiences before heading off on holiday. We don’t edit the reviews, the only thing we do is proofread them and alter any typos, where necessary, to ensure they are easy to read for everyone. All reviews will be published (except in certain extreme circumstances), and a member of the Headwater team will respond to any constructive criticisms/comments under the reviews, at their discretion. So, for the real tales, twists and turns of our holidays, look no further than the reviews from our previous travellers.


Mr Neal, 20/10/2019

Eduard impressed with his detailed knowledge of the mountains and the flora and fauna of the area, his enthusiasm for spotting birds of prey was infectious.

His choice of restaurants particularly in Lluc were excellent with choices of local freshly cooked food.


Mrs Earl, 12/05/2019

Two centres was good - wider experience of that part of Mallorca. Link with Exodus worked well - some of the group very well travelled on walking holidays.

General concensus was that the walks were more grade 3 than 2 - Exodus gradings I believe.

Lovely group of people - younger and older but all sociable and interesting. As a single traveller this means a lot.

Food and accommodation in both hotels was excellent. Am really proud that I managed all but the 2 toughest walks - climbs!! And I was able to see more of Soller and its art and went with a small group to Polenza. The guide gave us good ideas and information about safer/easier walking routes and times of public transport.

Already thinking hard about a return visit.

Thanks especially to Headwater for doing the sorting out of flights, car parking and information sheets.


Ms Unwin, 12/05/2019

This is a magical holiday for fit walkers. Edourd the guide brings a sense of energy to everything he does and proudly shares his absolute love of the Tramuntana/Soller region of Majorca. His knowledge of history, wildlife and the amazing spring flowers really brought the whole trip to life. Instructions were clear and accurate, advice was excellent (he has turned me into a competent hill walker) and the four picnics were a joy, each completely local food, described. I did the trip alone, which was a first for me and the group dynamic was very good, everyone supporting and encouraging each other. All in all it was a very good trip.


Ms Peevers, 14/10/2018

The north-west coast around Puerto Soller, Deia and Lluc is very dramatic and we enjoyed some challenging walks through beautiful scenery in the Tramuntana range. Good for bird-watchers to see vultures, kestrels etc. I won't mention the rain (oops)! The weather can change in an instant and I would recommend poles for support and waterproof overtrousers that you can put on over your walking boots. After an invigorating day's walk, there are plenty of restaurants in Soller, or in the restaurants in the Lluc Monastery complex. Have a good trip.


Mr Corns, 14/10/2018

I don't suppose this helps very much but, though the weather was atrocious (in Mallorca!) the guide knew the area extremely well and could produce a safe programme approximating to the original offer. He was actually first rate.


Mrs Coupland, 16/09/2018

I went on a guided walking holiday. It was my first ever solo holiday. I was able to dip in and out and didn't always walk with the group. This was my choice. It was good to meet up with the group in the evening. Both hotels had gorgeous pools and the beach was nearby at the first hotel so i was able to cool off in the hot climate. Mallorca was also a very pleasant surprise. i think I got out of the holiday exactly what I wanted.
