Itinerary

  1. Palma de Mallorca

    2 nights

    Two nights in Palma

    Begin with two nights in Palma. Choose one substantial cultural visit and leave time for the old town and meals.

    Car

  2. Valldemossa

    A deliberate stop in Valldemossa

    Choose a monastery-related visit or a village walk and bakery stop. Check admission before adding a timed cultural visit.

    Car

  3. Deià

    Time for Deià

    Stop for a village visit or an arranged literary visit. If this makes the transfer day too full, choose either Deià or Valldemossa and give it more time.

    Car

  4. Sóller

    2 nights

    Two nights in Sóller

    Stay two nights in accommodation of your choice. Explore the town and leave a day free for a suitable walk or a relaxed cultural visit.

    Car

  5. Pollença

    Pollença as a cultural stop

    Plan time for the town and lunch. Choose one focus rather than assuming every attraction can be covered during a transfer.

    Car

  6. Alcúdia

    3 nights

    Three nights in Alcúdia

    Choose your own accommodation setting and balance an old-town outing with time for the beach and rest.

    Car

    1. Es Comú

      A natural beach day at Es Comú

      Prepare for a natural section of Platja de Muro. Check the specific access and facilities and use the established paths; swim only when conditions permit.

      Go back by car

For a first Mallorca holiday, this seven-night proposal combines three stays with different rhythms: two nights in Palma, two in Sóller and three in Alcúdia. The village visits are stops during transfer days, while the final stay leaves room for beach time and rest. Accommodation is your choice throughout.

Nights one and two: Palma

Begin with a city stay and choose one major cultural visit. Give the old town and meals their own time rather than trying to see every museum before collecting the rental car. The driving programme starts when you leave the city.

Transfer to Sóller: Valldemossa and Deià

The suggested sequence includes Valldemossa and Deià as day stops. Choose the content of those visits in advance: a booked cultural interior needs more room than a short stroll and a bakery stop.

If the day begins to look crowded, visit just one village. The itinerary is a planning framework, not a requirement to complete both stops. Check the day's driving route and parking arrangements before departure; no journey durations or driving directions are guaranteed here.

Nights three and four: Sóller

Allow two nights to enjoy the town without immediately packing again. Use the free day for architecture, a cultural visit or a walk selected from current official information. A mountain route should be chosen for your experience rather than added simply because there is spare time.

Pollença, then three nights in Alcúdia

Treat Pollença as a deliberate cultural stop on the next transfer. Leave time for a meal and one main interest before continuing.

The final three-night stay balances the old town with quieter days. A returning outing to Es Comú provides a natural-beach option; prepare for its access and limited-service setting. Keep another day flexible rather than scheduling a second substantial transfer.

The seven nights are an editorial planning choice. Confirm accommodation, attraction opening and road conditions for your dates. Airport transfers, car hire and admissions remain separate arrangements.
