Mallorca Sailing Itinerary
With beautiful beaches, quaint villages, a spectacular mountain range and a cosmopolitan capital city, Mallorca has a little bit of everything or “un poco de todo,” as the locals say.
Our Mallorca Sailing Itinerary will take you all over this magnificent island. From the international city of Palma, to the secluded mountain village of Sóller, you can revel in the natural beauty, ample history, lively ambiance, and one-of-kind culture of Mallorca.
Our Guide to the
Mallorca Sailing Itinerary
As the largest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca is the perfect spot for a Mediterranean getaway. Mallorca’s landscape is diverse and with over 340 miles of coastline, it features some of the most beautiful beaches and coves in the world. However, it’s coastline is made of more than just beaches. Our Mallorca Sailing Itinerary will take you to many of Mallorca’s uniquely charming and picturesque towns, where you can absorb the authentic Mallorcan culture.
If you’d like to become one with nature, there are plenty of opportunities to lose yourself in the scenery. Mallorca is remarkably beautiful and has become a destination for hiking and cycling vacations.
On the other hand, if you just want to soak up the sun from the soft sand beaches, or from the comfort of your boat’s deck, that’s great too. Whatever you like, our Mallorca Sailing Itinerary has something for everyone!
-
Getting There
Mallorca has one airport, which is the third largest international airport in Spain. With daily flights from the UK and European countries, getting to the island is very easy. For visitors from the US, or elsewhere, it may be easier to get a connecting flight in another one of Spain’s major airports, like Barcelona or Madrid. If you’re looking to take the scenic route, you could even fly into Barcelona or Valencia, and take a 6-hour ferry to Palma.
-
Weather
One of the best parts of Mallorca is its lovely climate. The island enjoys hot summers and short, mild winters. Besides the temperature, Mallorca enjoys sunshine around 300 days of the year.
For our Mallorca Sailing Itinerary, the summer months will offer the best sailing conditions. While summer in Mallorca certainly has the best beach weather, you can still enjoy a quality holiday in the spring and autumn – but the weather isn’t quite as predictable as the summer months.
-
Mooring
The best part of the Mallorca Sailing Itinerary is its abundance of mooring options. As Mallorca remains amongst the top sailing destinations in the Mediterranean, you’ll have your pick of marinas.
In Andratx, we recommend Club de Vela Marina with 475 berths. You can find their daily rates, here. In Sóller, Marina Tramontana will be your best choice. With just 64 berths, this marina fills up quickly – however, you can book online.
For another larger marina, we recommend Reial Club Nautic Port de Pollença Marina. Prices begin at €41, and increase by berth. In Cala Ratjada, a small marina – Club Nautico Cala Ratjada Marina – will have everything you need. In Cala d’Or, try Marina Cala d’Or.
In Cabrera, you must fill out papers for permission to moor in the National Park. You can find more information about those requirements, here. Depending on the berth, rates range between €9 to €77 a day in October through April. From May through September, rates go from €18 to €200

Day 1
Palma de Mallorca / Puerto Andratx
Palma de Mallorca
You’ll start your week off in the island’s capital, where you can pick up your charter. As Palma is home to almost half of Mallorca’s permanent residents, you can easily find provisions in one of the city’s many markets. In the city’s old town you will find Mercat de l’Olivar, where you can stock up on fresh and high-quality local products, like almonds, olives, or Ramallet tomatoes, which are native to the island. Make sure to pick up some delicious Ensaimada for breakfast – it’s a Mallorcan speciality!
Recommended Restaurants and Activities:
Mercat de l’Olivar, Palma de Mallorca, Mallorca, Spain
Forn La Mallorquina, Carrer Joan Crespí 18, Palma, Balearic Islands, Spain
Puerto Andratx
In a past life, Puerto Andratx was a quiet fishing village. Today, you can still enjoy the fresh catch, with a little touch of luxury, as Andratx has been claimed by the yachting crowd and some of Mallorca’s chicest resorts. With a luxurious ambience, Puerto Andratx is the perfect start to your week. Here you will find a long stretch of sand to lay out on, at Playa de Sant Elm. If you’re looking for a more active adventure, hike to the top of La Trapa Monastery, where you can see stunning views of the Mediterranean and Sa Dragonera island.

Puerto Andratx / Puerto Sóller
Puerto Sóller
Rustic, artsy, and stunningly beautiful – Puerto Sóller is the quintessential Mallorcan mountain village. Dock in the harbour and then take a stroll along the port, where the streets are lined with restaurants and bars.

Puerto Pollença
Another unique Mallorcan town, Puerto Pollença has beautiful scenery and a deeply traditional heritage. Early 20th-century wealthy families from Madrid and Palma made Puerto Pollença their summer escape. For good reason too – here you will find peaceful family-friendly vibes and crystal clear waters. Take part in the tradition of an evening paseo, or stroll, along the Pine Walk that runs along the bay, where the beach is lined by deep green pine trees, and palm trees.
Recommended Restaurants and Activities:
Restaurante Bodega Can Ferrà, Carrer de Sant Pere 3, Port de Pollença, Illes Balears, Spain
Museu Municipal, Convent de Sant Domingo, Pollença, Illes Balears, Spain
Day 4
Puerto Pollença / Cala Rajada

Cala Rajada is the main port in the town of Capdepera and its city centre is a happening place. Shop along the main street of L’Agulla Elinor Servera and visit the weekly Sunday market at Plaça del Pins.
Immersing yourself in the natural beauty of Cala Rajada is another option. You can enjoy the beautiful white sand beach of Cala Agulla, which is also a protected bird sanctuary, or you can take in the views from the 19th-century lighthouse at Punta de Capdepera.
Recommended Restaurants and Activities:
Ses Rotges Restaurant, Carrer Rafael Blanes, 21, 07590 Cala Ratjada, Spain

Cala d’Or
Located on the Southeast side of the island, in Cala d’Or you will find amazing turquoise water and the best beach weather with the greatest number of sunshine hours in Mallorca. As one of the of the oldest resort towns on the island, Cala d’Or was practically built with relaxation in mind. All the buildings and hotels are designed to imitate the white-washed villa style of Ibiza. Cala d’Or is home to charming coves and beaches, shrouded by woodland and rocky cliffs, as well as luxurious resorts, restaurant and nightlife.

Day 6
Cala d'Or / Cabrera
Cabrera
On the last stop in our Mallorca Sailing Itinerary, you will get to explore the locals’ favorite get-away. Reminiscent of Mallorca, pre-tourism boom, Cabrera feels a world away. As a protected national park, there is an abundance of birds, marine life, and flora and fauna. During your stay, you may catch a glimpse of cormorants, falcons, ospreys, or dolphins, among much other wildlife.
Apart from its animal inhabitants, Cabrera has been home to a military base where thousands of captive soldiers stayed imprisoned during the Napoleonic wars. Dig into the history of the island by touring the Castle of Cabrera or the 19th-century lighthouse, L’Enciola, which are both accessible by foot and provide a nice hike.
Recommended Restaurants and Activities:
Cueva Azul, Cabrera, Spain
Monumento a los Franceses y Celler, Cabrera, Spain
Day 7
Cabrera / Palma de Mallorca
Palma de Mallorca
Back in Palma, you will need to bring your charter to check out. Once off the boat, take the time to explore Mallorca’s magnificent city.

With so much to experience, Palma – like Mallorca, has un poco de todo.
