Outdoor activities in Mallorca

The diversity of the island offers many fascinating options to enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year

There is no doubt that Mallorca is a true paradise for lovers of nature and sports. It has endless cycling routes through the Sierra de Tramuntana, incredible places to discover as a family, hiking trails through some of the most beautiful areas, and even water activities to enjoy the Mediterranean underwater.

Here, we include a selection of outdoor activities to suit all tastes:

  • Hiking trails

The Sierra Tramuntana offers great walks as well as extensive mountain routes, both for beginners and professionals. We highlight the trail of “La Ruta de Piedra Seca” that goes through Alaró, one of the most picturesque villages on the island. This route can be started from Orient or from the town and goes up to the Castell d’Alaró; located at the top of the mountain "El Puig de Alaró", where the views are spectacular.

The views are especially magical from this townhouse in Alaró.

  • Cycling routes

Mallorca is a true paradise for cyclists. The warm weather, magnificent landscapes, and the good infrastructure, make this Mediterranean island the cycling mecca of Europe. We can choose cycling routes for all levels. The easiest is along the promenade from Palma to El Arenal, which allows a wonderful bike ride by the sea. Another recommended option is the protected cycling route that goes from Llucmajor to Porreres.

  • Excursions

This is one of the few islands in Europe where you can decide between an excursion to the beach or the mountain, as well as an excursion to Cabrera. There are endless options for outdoor activities, and many of them are ideal to enjoy a family day.

  • Playing golf

The wonderful landscape of Mallorca and good weather conditions attract players from all over the world. There are more than 20 golf courses available, where you can find fields for all skills.

  • Riding a horse

Several equestrian centers and clubs offer horse riding routes. This is a perfect way to get to know the island enjoying nature.

  • Diving

The Mediterranean waters have incredible visibility, with a seabed of great diversity and wonderful rock formations. To this, we add several nature reserves, caves and wrecks. A paradise for scuba diving.

  • Kayak routes​

The calm and crystalline sea surrounding the island makes possible kayaking without having knowledge of rowing. This activity allows us to get to wonderful places only reachable by boat.

  • Sailing

Sailing is a very healthy sport with many benefits. On the island, you will find more than 40 yachting ports. We recommend the 2 Yacht Clubs in Llucmajor: Club Náutico Arenal and Club Náutico S’Estanyol.
