Activities in Mallorca
Discover the top Mallorca activities
Clearly, one of the biggest draws to Mallorca is mooching in the sun by the pool or on one of its world-renowned beaches, perhaps with a chilled G&T in hand, and why not? But if you’re feeling a little more active, there’s a whole host of other things to do on the island, not just in summer but year-round, depending on what floats your boat, literally in some cases. So, whether you're just looking for something to do after a sunbathing session or you simply don't enjoy the beach, we promise you'll have no time to get bored here.
What to do in Mallorca?
With hundreds of hours of sunshine per year, Mallorca is an outdoor-lovers paradise. Some activities are perfect for solo travellers while others are more suited to romantic couples. Families and groups will also find a wide range of things to do in Mallorca. From relaxing to full-on adrenaline, from child-friendly to adults-only, from outdoor fun to indoor bad-weather activities, there is something for everyone in Mallorca.

Top things to do in Mallorca
Below are our four favourite and probably the most popular activities in Mallorca, but there are plenty more to choose from.
1. Boat trips & sailing: With more than 250 beaches and coves, breathtaking cliff edges and turquoise waters, there is no better way to explore the island’s beautiful 554 kilometres of coastline than from a boat. The main ways of doing this are, depending on your budget, to charter a yacht, hire a boat or book a boat trip with one of the many companies located all around the island.
2. Watersports: Mallorca is the perfect holiday destination for watersports thanks to its warm summers, island breezes and scenic coastline. There are plenty of watersports centres offering equipment hire and lessons in activities like sailing, scuba diving, wakeboarding and kite surfing all around the island. Alternatively, thrill seekers can enjoy rides in speedboats, jet skis or banana boats.
3. Hiking: Once the summer season is over, Mallorca becomes a hive of activity for walkers and hikers. The dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountain range in west Mallorca and the more modest Serra de Llevant mountains in the east boast the most popular hiking routes on the island but, even if walking and hiking in Mallorca have become more popular in recent years, most paths and routes are still very quiet. There are relatively easy paths suitable for beginners, whilst other hiking trails take you to the five summits that reach over 1000m, perfect for keen walkers looking for a challenging route.
4. Cycling: Many professional cyclists choose Mallorca as their training ground during the off-season, especially from February to May. However, the island offers something for every cyclist, from some of the most impressive and demanding climbs to leisurely rides. Bike hire shops and cycle-friendly hotels have popped up all around Mallorca in recent years making it one of the best destinations in Europe for two-wheel aficionados.
