Each year, more and more German tourists flock to the Balearic Island of Mallorca. And it's no wonder, because the country has so much more to offer than just sun, beach, and sea. The country is something special indeed. Contrary to its bad reputation for being only about partying and drinking, the country is very diverse, safe, and above all, clean. Another important factor for many German tourists is that Mallorca is very close by, so there's no need for long journeys. If you decide to go on a vacation in Mallorca, we would like to show you a few must-see destinations that you should definitely visit during your Mallorca vacation.
For those who didn't know: Mallorca has around 180 beaches, including many hidden gems. The nature of the beaches could not be more different. You can find powdered sugar-like sandy beaches as well as secluded rocky coves that can only be reached on foot or even by boat. For those who don't want to miss the Caribbean flair on their Mallorca vacation, Playa es Trenc is recommended. This place is perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the Mallorca hotspots. Furthermore, this region strongly resembles the Caribbean, but is much cheaper. While you won't find palm trees here, the entire area is covered in pine trees. The beach in Playa es Trenc is one of the finest in Mallorca. White as sugar, it stretches along the turquoise-green and crystal-clear sea. In addition, this beach is one of the longest on the island, measuring 5 km. Since the beach is located in a nature reserve, it is also one of the cleanest in Mallorca.
A real insider tip is the small mountain village of Orient in the Serra de Tramuntana region. To get to this hidden little village, you have to drive along a steep road. Once you have overcome the arduous journey, you will not only be rewarded with an outstanding view, but also with culinary delights of fusion cuisine at the Restaurant Mandala. The relatively small restaurant is a real insider tip, but has only a few seats. Therefore, you should set off for the village early. In this restaurant, you can enjoy traditional Mallorcan dishes. But not only Mallorcan delicacies await the guests here. The menu also includes Indian and French dishes, prepared at the highest level of fusion cuisine. The ideal place for connoisseurs.
Things get particularly mystical and mysterious during a Mallorca vacation when you visit the Dragon Caves. These 1.2 km long stalactite caves are located on the east coast and are called Cuevas del Drach by the locals. If you want to venture on an exploration tour here, you should not be afraid of darkness. It goes 25 meters deep into the earth, with most of the way being explored by boat. This tour offers visitors a breathtaking surprise. Because in this cave system lies the largest underground lake in Europe. Bizarre stalactites and stalagmites line the way. Afterwards, you continue through the eerily illuminated stalactite gardens, with stairs and winding paths. In earlier times, the locals hid here from pirates. So it's perfect for adventurers who should consider this activity when booking their Mallorca vacation.
A more relaxed way to spend your Mallorca vacation is to explore the vineyards with the leisure train. You can also reserve this activity when booking your Mallorca vacation. The tourists embark on this special wine tour with the popular leisure train. When booking a vacation in Mallorca, you should definitely plan this tour. With the small train that only has wooden carriages, you travel across the island's vineyards in St. Maria de Cami. Along the way, the train stops at various wineries for wine tasting.
When you book a Mallorca vacation, you usually do it for a reason. You want to relax, but also experience something. However, this activity that we would like to recommend is not for people with a fear of heights. On the Cap de Formentor peninsula, a road leads 13 km through cliffs. You should already have a head for heights during the drive. But the effort is worth it for the destination. The viewpoint Mirador es Colomer is one of the most beautiful on Mallorca. It is located 232 meters above the sea and offers a breathtaking view of the sea with its various shades of blue. If you dare, you can take a look down the cliffs. Here you can see the foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains. This excursion is probably the most interesting and beautiful on the Balearic Island, and is more than worth a visit.
