Day 1: Caves of Drach

Devote the first day of your 6-day itinerary to visiting one of the island's best-known tourist attractions: the Drach Caves. This group of four interconnected caves is located in the town of Manacor, near Porto Cristo. They reach a depth of 25 metres and extend up to 1.5 miles in length.

Inside, you can see one of the largest underground lakes in the world: Lake Martel, which is 115 metres long and 30 metres wide. Classical music concerts are held daily on the lake, and you can even cross it by boat at the end of the day—an experience not to be missed!

Day 2: Palma City Centre

On the second day of your trip, we recommend you enjoy one of the must-do routes on the island: exploring Palma de Mallorca, the capital city. It's an essential destination to include in your 6-day itinerary.

While wandering the streets of the historic centre and discovering charming hidden corners is delightful, we suggest taking a guided tour of the Cathedral, the most significant building in Palma. Purchasing tickets online will save you time by avoiding queues, and the tour provides insightful details about the cathedral's history and architecture.

Another must-see is the Royal Palace of Almudaina. You can purchase a ticket to explore it from the inside, or simply admire its exterior. Additionally, if you’ve hired a car in Mallorca, a visit to Bellver Castle is highly recommended. This circular fortress offers incredible panoramic views.

Day 3: Tramuntana Mountains

For the third day, we suggest a scenic route through the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range. Combining beach and mountains is a must for your itinerary. Hiring a car is advisable to comfortably reach all the excursions and scenic spots you have planned.

Day 4: Route of Coves in the South of the island

On the fourth day, dedicate some time to exploring the coves in the south of the island. Start with Calo des Moro and Cala S'Almunia, which are very close to each other and can be visited in the same morning.

In the afternoon, head to Cala Mondrago, located in the Mondrago Natural Park. Here, you can stroll, relax on the sand, and enjoy the incredible seabed while snorkeling.

Day 5: Alcudia and Pollença

For the fifth day, if you have a hire car, visit the charming towns of Alcudia and Pollença. These towns will transport you back to mediaeval times. Alcudia preserves parts of its ancient wall and castle, while Pollença blends historic buildings with wild coves.

Day 6: Valldemossa

On the sixth day of your visit to Mallorca, explore Valldemossa, which is close to Palma. It's a perfect destination that offers a different side of Mallorca. This beautiful inland town is not overly touristy and allows you to enjoy the island's rich gastronomy. Be sure to try the potato coca, a local specialty of Valldemossa.
