Mallorca has everything: from white sandy beaches and crystal clear water, to small charming villages, to its rugged mountain range: the Tramuntana. And the best way to explore all these places is in a camper van.
As there is not much public transport on the island, travelling in a campervan will give you more freedom and the chance to see many more places in less time. To make the most of your holiday, we have designed a 4-day route with all the must-see places - so you won't miss anything - in the east and north of the island.
In this guide we have included a bit of everything: a few beaches and coves to relax, and some villages to get lost in the streets. By the way! We have left out of this route the capital, Palma de Mallorca, because we believe that travelling in a camper van you can make the most of the island with these locations. But you can dedicate 1 whole day to see it on your next trip 😉.
Day 1: Alcudia and Formentor Lighthouse
After picking up your camper in Sa Pobla (our ship), we will visit the area of Alcudia. Alcudia is a charming village surrounded by walls. The best thing to do is to wander around the old town and also walk along the paths that run along the walls and enjoy the panoramic views. The tourist attractions you can find are the Xara Gate and the Church of Sant Jaume.
Afterwards, head for the port of Alcudia. Here there are plenty of restaurants where you can eat fresh fish and typical Mallorcan dishes. Alcúdia beach is right next door, one of the longest on the island, where you can relax, swim and sunbathe. If you still have some energy left, next to it is Platja Des Coll Baix, a wild environment like no other.
We will finish the day at the Faro de Formentor lighthouse watching the sunset and parking our camper in one of the many places along the cape to spend the night. In this article we leave you the restrictions to visit Formentor.
Day 2: Port Pollença and Port of Sóller
After waking up to some incredible views, we go for our first swim of the day at Formentor beach. Once refreshed, we head to Puerto Pollença for lunch. It is a very charming area with boats and very calm waters. You will be surprised by the stillness and transparency of the sea in this port.
In the afternoon, we will set off for the Port of Sóller, crossing the entire Tramuntana. But along the way we have several essential stops. This is the route of picturesque villages that we recommend: Pollensa, Lluc, Fornalutx and Soller. In any of these villages, you can visit a typical shop to buy Mallorcan sobrasada 🙂
We will end up watching the sunset in the port of Sóller, where there is also a beach where you can have a swim at the end of the day. A place to spend the night with the camper in this area is the Far Des Cap Gros, with the view of the port at your feet.
Day 3: Excursion by boat to Sa Calobra
On the third day we propose something different. You can leave your camper safely parked and take a boat trip to visit some of the most inaccessible coves in the north of Mallorca. You can take the boat directly from the port of Sóller (there are many companies) or book online. Here are two options (in our opinion, Cala Tuent is very worthwhile):
If you are more adventurous and would like to get to Sa Calobra in your camper, there is also the option. Although we don't recommend it as much because the road is a bit difficult (they call it the tie knot). If you still want to go, the best option is to arrive the day before, spend the night in the car park and get up at dawn to get ahead of the mass of tourists.
Day 4: Deiá and Valldemosa
In the morning, visit the charming village of Deià, known for its natural beauty and artistic community. The cobbled streets are full of charm. You can climb up to the village castle to see the panoramic views. If you have some time, you can visit Cala Deià, a lovely pebble beach. It has a quaint beach bar where you can enjoy high quality Mediterranean cuisine.
We continue through the Tramuntana mountain range until we reach Valldemossa, considered the most beautiful village on the island because of the landscape that surrounds it. Once in the village, the terraced houses, the flowered courtyards and the cobbled streets immerse you in another era. You can visit: the Royal Charterhouse, the Church of San Bartomeu and the Palace of King Sancho.
End of the journey
We hope you liked this 4-day route very much. Of course, we have included a lot of things, but you can add or subtract according to your preferences. We leave you a map as a summary and the link to rent one of our campers:
