Mallorca in one week: what you shouldn’t miss
Explore Palma de Mallorca
A week in Mallorca offers plenty of time to discover the island’s extraordinary variety of landscapes and cultural experiences. Begin your journey in Palma, the island’s capital, where you can wander through the atmospheric old town, visit the magnificent Cathedral, with its breathtaking views over the Mediterranean, and soak up the atmosphere in the Santa Catalina neighbourhood.
Set aside time to explore the Mercat de l’Olivar or visit some of Palma’s leading museums, such as Es Baluard or the Fundació Miró museum. From Finca Serena Mallorca, Palma is just a 20-minute drive away.
Enjoy Mallorca’s coastline
Mallorca’s coast is one of its greatest treasures, and a week gives you the freedom to explore several of its most beautiful beaches. In the south-east, natural gems such as Es Trenc and Caló des Moro offer turquoise waters and dramatic surroundings, perfect for swimming and unwinding.
To the north, Playa de Muro stands out for its calm atmosphere and shallow waters, making it an ideal spot for relaxed days by the sea.
Discover the charm of Mallorcan villages
Some of Mallorca’s villages deserve a full day of exploration, while others can be enjoyed at a slower pace. In the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, highlights include Valldemossa, known for its Carthusian monastery and cobbled streets; Deià, a long-standing retreat for artists; and Sóller, linked to Palma by its iconic wooden train.
In the island’s interior, towns such as Pollença and Artà preserve Mallorca’s most authentic spirit. Be sure to visit the weekly artisan markets, an excellent way to experience local traditions and everyday island life.
Connect with naure
Nature is at the heart of any journey to Mallorca. The Serra de Tramuntana offers spectacular hiking routes with panoramic views, while protected areas such as Mondragó Natural Park combine gentle walks with refreshing swims in crystal-clear coves.
For more active travellers, Mallorca is an exceptional destination for cycling, kayaking, snorkelling and a wide range of outdoor activities, all set within a privileged natural environment.
Try the local gastronomy
No week in Mallorca would be complete without exploring its culinary heritage. From traditional wineries in the island’s interior to seaside restaurants and innovative dining concepts, Mallorca’s gastronomic scene is as varied as it is enticing.
Local specialities such as tumbet, sobrassada and frit mallorquí showcase the island’s most authentic flavours. At Jacaranda Restaurant, we bring the Mallorcan countryside to the table through farm-to-table cuisine, using fresh, seasonal ingredients and wines produced on our own estate. A menu that pays tribute to the land that surrounds us.
