Written by Elena | May 15, 2024 7:53:56 PM

Are you planning your vacation in Mallorca? The beautiful island in the Mediterranean is a very popular destination, and we've had our Spanish colleagues create a guide to Mallorca, experienced as a local.

When you think of Mallorca, you might imagine dream beaches with turquoise blue water and soft sand inviting you to relax and enjoy the sun, but Mallorca is not just that. If you really want to visit Mallorca like a local, the best solution is to rent a car so you can get around and access the incredible places the island has to offer.

We recommend renting a GoMore car from a local in Mallorca. Not only are you supporting the local community, but you can also ask the owner for their best tips and experience Mallorca like a local.

Explore Mallorca's hidden treasures

If you're planning a vacation in Mallorca, don't miss the opportunity to explore some of the island's most amazing natural pearls: Cala San Vicente, Cala Barques, Playa Formentor, and the charming village of Pollença.

Cala San Vicente

A little paradise on the north coast of the island for your vacation in Mallorca. The surrounding cliffs create a fantastic landscape. If you like diving, don't forget to explore the colorful reefs and discover the rich marine life hidden beneath the surface.

Cala Barques

A small hidden cove on Mallorca's west coast where you'll feel like you're in a private paradise. Here, you can enjoy a day of sun and sea without the crowds on the busier beaches. It's best to wake up early and take a dip in the secluded and refreshing water. The perfect way to start the day, if you ask us.

Playa Formentor

One of Mallorca's most iconic beaches. It is located on the Formentor peninsula at the northern tip of the island and offers spectacular views and an impressive natural environment. You can also explore the nearby trails and enjoy the panoramic views from the Formentor viewpoint.

Faro de Formentor

Mallorca is not just about beaches and the sea. If you're looking for an activity for your Mallorca vacation, there are plenty of cycling routes that allow you to see the island from a completely different perspective. One of the most beautiful routes is the trip to Cape Formentor and the famous lighthouse, where you can enjoy a refreshment in the cafeteria while enjoying the beautiful view of the sea and the mountains.
 

Charming villages - Pollença

One of the highlights of the Sierra de Tramuntana is the picturesque mountain villages scattered throughout the region. Valldemossa and Deià are just a few examples. But if you're looking for something quiet, charming, and truly characteristic of the area, you can't miss Pollença. As you stroll through the narrow streets, you'll be transported to another time and discover the authentic essence of Mallorca.

Climbing to Golgata Church

If you want to fully enjoy Pollença, be prepared to climb the stairs to Golgata Church. The view is definitely worth it. Don't forget sunscreen and a water bottle.

Enjoy the promenade and the boats

Don't miss an ice cream and a stroll along the marina in Pollença. Shops, restaurants, a cocktail by the sea, or even live music along the promenade.

Looking for something more traditional? Visit the old town of Palma.

Palma has a rich history with Phoenician, Roman, Arabic, and Spanish influences that have left their mark on architecture and culture.

Entering the old town feels like walking through a labyrinth of narrow, cobblestone streets. The facades of the buildings are full of history and architectural details that tell stories from the past. From Gothic churches to Renaissance palaces - every corner of the old town is a work of art in itself.

Santa Maria Cathedral in Palma, popularly known as La Seu, is an impressive example of religious architecture with its imposing facade and interior filled with details and artworks.
