Set deep within the Tramuntana mountain range, Orient is one of the most remote and enchanting villages in Mallorca.
Orient
Pretty rural village deep in the western hills of Majorca
Nestled among ancient olive trees at the foot of Puig d'Alfabia, this tiny hamlet offers a rare glimpse of rural Mallorcan life almost untouched by tourism.
The approach from Bunyola demands a confident driver, with hairpin bends and dramatic drops into the valley below. Those who make the journey, or take the gentler route from Alaró, are rewarded with one of the most peaceful corners of the island. Orient is a favourite with walkers, with several trails leading into the mountains, including the iconic ascent to Castell d'Alaró. For those who come to eat, drink in the views, and slow down, there is nowhere quite like it.
Events in Orient
Orient is a peaceful retreat rather than a festival hub, but the wider Tramuntana region comes alive throughout the year with cultural events, classical concerts, and local fiestas. Browse what's on and plan your visit around something special.
