Spectacular cliffs, scenic seaside paths, lush holm oak forests, and charming villages are just some of the highlights of our hiking adventure through the Serra de Tramuntana. Over eight days (with six days of hiking), we’ll dive into the natural beauty of Mallorca like never before—mixing coastal views, mountain trails, and centuries of history. From medieval roads to centuries-old buildings, we’ll discover hidden gems along the way. And unlike most hiking trips in this rugged terrain, every evening ends at a boutique 4-star hotel, where comfort and style make this trip as rewarding off the trail as it is on it.
