7 Places Not to Miss on Mallorca
1. The hilltop town of Deiá
If there is one spot not to miss, it’s certainly this one. It’s quaint yet charming and you can could spend an hour or two winding through the village.
2. Calò des Moro
You can’t miss this gem as it’s seriously one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. Surely it does get packed in the afternoon, so be sure to arrive early to grab a spot.
3. Cala Llombards
One of our favorite places we visited on the island as it’s beautiful and you can come jump off the rocks and swim for endless hours. We loved visiting in the late afternoon for a sundowner’s swim.
4. Valldemossa
It’s one of the most visited villages on the west side and for good reason. Known for the Chopin Museum and sweeping views of olive orchard-lined trees, it’s really a stunning town.
5. Cala s’Almunia
This little corner is a perfect place to come sunbathe on the rocks for the afternoon.
6. The Drive on the Ma-10 from Estellencs to Deiá.
If you want to be in awe of high cliffs and views, be sure to hop on the Ma-10 for one of the most scenic routes on the island.
7. Torent de Cala Pi
If you’re staying in Palma and don’t want to go too far for blue waters, this is the place to come enjoy for a day.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
