Mallorca Travel Guide: Top Things to Do & See + Where to Stay

15 hand-picked accommodations in Mallorca

Mallorca is a wonderful island to enjoy where you can make it a 3 day, 5 day, 7 day, or 10 day trip.

For 3 days, you'll want to pick one location as a base and explore the island from there with a day trip or two. Palma is a great base since it is close to the airport. 

For 5 days, pick 1-2 areas of the island to stay in and take day trips.

For 7 days (an optimal amount of time for the island), stay in two different areas of the island for a chance to experience more variety with a beach stay and a mountain stay.

For 10+ days, stay in 2-3 areas of the island for a full Mallorca

If you want to explore the island with freedom, it is highly recommended to rent a car. Land at the airport and pick up your rental car for the full time on the island.

If you're staying in Palma for the first couple of nights, consider staying without a car to explore the area and day trip to Soller on the vintage train. Then pick up your car rental for the next few days of your trip! This will help save on costs and parking in Palma can be difficult. 

Towns and landmarks to explore around the island

Recommenced day trips from Palma include Soller, Valldemossa, Deia, and beaches along Cala d'Or.
