Scenic Drives in Mallorca

Discover the top Mallorca scenic drives

This leisurely half-day drive takes in several family attractions close to the northeast coast. It can easily be done as a day trip from Palma, adding 1 1/2 hours to the time.

  • Begin by the OlivArt factory shop, as you enter Manacor on the C715 from Palma. Follow signs to Porto Cristo, leaving Manacor along a boulevard with palm trees down the middle.

After 13km you see the Coves dels Hams - choose between stopping here or continuing to Porto Cristo for the Coves del Drac.

  • The road continues to Porto Cristo, where you turn left at the seafront up a steep hill, following signs to Son Servera and Cala Millor.

The road leads through orchards divided by drystone walls, reaching Auto-Safari where you can drive around the zoo.

  • Continue north, bypassing Cala Millor and turning left into Son Servera. Turn right towards Capdepera.

Long before you get there you see the castle crowning the village on a hill. Stop here for lunch and a climb to the
castle, then if you feel like an afternoon on the beach take the side road to Cala Mesquida.

  • Otherwise take the C715 to Arta.

Again you see the town long before you get there. After exploring Arta, take to the coast.

  • Follow the C712 coast road around the bay of Alcudia.

You pass the S'Albufera nature reserve before finally reaching Alcudia.

  • Return to Palma in under an hour by taking the C713 and joining the motorway at Inca.
