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!

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. From the port, you can also take the Tranvia de Sóller, an old-fashioned San Francisco style tram system, that runs between Sóller and Puerto Sóller.

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.

As the closest point between Mallorca and Menorca, Cala Rajada has always been a valuable hub for trade, commerce and business. On a clear day, it is easy to see the town of Ciutadella in Menorca. 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.

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.

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.

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 deeply artistic roots, Palma is home to some of the best art museums and galleries. Also, as an emerging culinary centre, you will find many amazing restaurants and gastronomic experiences. With so much to experience, Palma, like Mallorca, has un poco de todo.
