Old fishing villages, breathtaking sunsets, traditional Mallorcan picnics, and paradise-like beaches—all guided by our experienced leader—are waiting for you. Discover Mallorca’s beauty, learn about its rich history, and let this adventure be truly unforgettable.

  • Upon arrival at Mallorca Airport, your guide will transfer you to your hotel in 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.
