We’re swapping heels for hiking boots and sangria for summit views—this is Mallorca done the wild, wonderful, women-only way! We’ll dive headfirst into coastal cliff trails, medieval roads, and starlit summits with cava in hand (because yes, we hike and celebrate). From the quiet charm of Sant Elm to the rugged drama of Cala Tuent, every step is pure Mediterranean magic. And just when you think it can’t get better, along comes Deià with its bohemian soul, stone villages, and sea-soaked sunsets. This isn’t just a trip. It’s a toe-tapping, heart-thumping, soul-shaking escape with your new favorite hiking crew. Let’s walk it out.
We’ll hike, laugh, climb, snack, and sparkle our way across Mallorca’s rugged Serra de Tramuntana, where ancient trails meet sun-drenched coastline and the vibes are as high as the peaks. From the laid-back beach town of Sant Elm to the stone paths of Esporles and the bohemian magic of Deià, this all-women journey is pure Mediterranean soul food. Think terrace picnics with sea views, mountaintop cava toasts, and cliffside trails that make your heart beat faster (and not just from the climb). Boutique hotels, a wildly cool crew, and scenery that slaps—this is the hiking holiday you didn’t know you needed.
Upon arrival at Mallorca Airport, your guide will transfer you to the picturesque village of Sant Elm, on the island’s southwest coast. Once settled in, take some time to explore the town and its beautiful beach. Sant Elm’s main street is filled with cafes and restaurants, perfect for enjoying an aperitif or dinner, along with plenty of souvenir shops to explore.
One of the area’s highlights is watching the breathtaking sunset from one of the viewpoints along the coastline. In the evening, your guide will meet you for a welcome drink and a briefing on the itinerary and details of our upcoming adventure.
