Beyond the sun, sea and sangria there is an undiscovered side to this holiday island that offers peace and tranquillity. To the north and northwest of the island is a limestone mountain range, the Sierra de Tramuntana with many peaks rising to over 1000m and culminating in the Puig Mayor at 1447m. Mallorca has over 300 miles of coastline with an abundance of picturesque coves and inlets where the mountains meet the sea. Springtime brings beautiful sub-alpine flowers to enhance your walks on the slopes below rocky mountain summits. Lower down paths are scented year-round by lavender and wild thyme. Pretty, unspoilt villages offer a rural idyll, with twisted olive trees and orange and lemon groves are on every corner.
Your base for the week is the coastal village of Port de Soller, separated from the rest of Mallorca by the UNESCO World Heritage Sierra de Tramuntana mountains. With its narrow streets and enchanting buildings, this old fishing harbour is the perfect base from which to explore the island. The historic train that connects the capital Palma and Port de Soller is a must! Originally introduced in 1912 to transport citrus fruit from the Soller valley to the capital, it offers an unforgettable experience from which you can enjoy the diversity of landscapes that the island offers.
We have crafted a sample itinerary for you that would be easy and relaxing to follow, but you will be able to create your own selecting your walks from over 10 options, with different levels and directly on our navigation app.
Arrive at your hotel in Port de Soller
**** Hotel Aimia (Breakfast included)
This leisurely walk offers a glimpse of the coastal scenery and verdant vegetation on the island, leading you northeast of Port de Soller. Along the way, you'll come across Torre Picada, a 17th-century defensive watchtower. Take a break here to soak in the panoramic views of Port de Soller, the Sierra de Tramuntana, and the Mediterranean Sea.
**** Hotel Aimia (Breakfast included)
Explore the heart of Mallorca's countryside, encountering a diverse range of landscapes and agricultural scenes. Delve into the striking contrast between the serene and isolated Balitx d'Avall abandoned farmhouse and the vibrant Mirador de Ses Barques, before making your way back using the local tram.
**** Hotel Aimia (Breakfast included)
A brief tram ride will take you to the beginning of your walk, providing an introduction to some of the lower-level paths in the area. The gentle elevation makes this walk suitable for all weather conditions, and recent route restoration between the villages ensures easy navigation. Additionally, you have the option to explore Cala de Deia before returning to the hotel via bus or walk back to Sóller through one of the routes offered on our app for a longer and more challenging day.
**** Hotel Aimia (Breakfast included)
Enjoy a day exploring the local area of Port de Sóller, taking in the views of the harbor and of Faro de Cabo Gordo, take a rest day by the pool or choose amongst the walks on the app for a more active day.
**** Hotel Aimia (Breakfast included)
You can easily reach the beginning of this walk by public transport (subject to availability) or a brief taxi ride. The journey will lead you alongside Cuber reservoir, followed by a leisurely ascent through a tranquil pine forest to reach the Col de L’Ofre. The descent from there will take you into the striking Barranc de Biniaraix, navigating the picturesque cobbled path renowned as the Pilgrims Steps, before making your way back to Port de Sóller.
**** Hotel Aimia (Breakfast included)
Embark on a delightful tram and train journey along the picturesque southern Sierra de Tramuntana, arriving in Bunyola. Explore the town before setting off on a scenic walk through sheltered paths to the Penyal d’Honor viewpoint. Decide whether to return along the same path or take on a more challenging circular route through olive groves after a steep descent from the viewpoint. The choice is yours for an adventurous day amidst nature's beauty.
**** Hotel Aimia (Breakfast included)

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.
As the weather was vey hot, which we would normally have no problem with as we love the heat, we did fewer of the walks than we might have done had it been cooler. We did, however, do some shorter walks in and around Port de Soller. That is in no way a criticism of Headwater, just a fact of the weather.
As I’ve already said, we did not realise that nearly all the walks involved a tram or a bus or a train, or a combination of them, and we would not want a holiday that was so reliant on local transport in the future.
We did, however, like Port de Soller, and the hotel Aimia.
As I said earlier, we have enjoyed many happy trips with Headwater over many years. However, as I said on an earlier page, the route notes seriously need some attention in our opinions. Although they read well enough, the sentence construction suggests they were written by a local with local knowledge. To us, they appeared unclear and sometimes inaccurate. In the end we devised our own walks. Staff at the hotel were fantastic, Megan at Headwater was most helpful and we shall almost certainly book with you again but the itinerary needs looking at.
You can be confident that our pricing includes all the standard requirements of your holiday and many additional extras. Always ensure that you are comparing like for like when booking your holiday.
This 7 night self-guided walking holiday includes:
Single-centre accommodation in a hotel
All breakfasts
Headwater navigation app for your smartphone
