Mallorca by Slow Road: Scenic Routes, Towns & Hidden Beaches

Mallorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is an ideal destination for a walking holiday. Butterfield & Robinson’s six-day, five-night Mallorca walking expedition starts and finishes in Palma and showcases the island’s dramatic coastline, secluded coves and fragrant citrus groves. The route includes coastal paths often likened to Italy’s Amalfi Coast, countryside tracks through orchards, a trek across the Alcudia Peninsula and the stark, wind-swept headland of Cap de Formentor.

Along the way, participants sample regional foods and wines, enjoy a private sailboat lunch and follow a medieval pilgrimage trail that winds through olive and citrus groves. Accommodations on the itinerary include Son Brull Hotel & Spa in Pollensa and La Residencia, a restored 17th-century manor house known for hosting high-profile guests. Departures are available in May, September and October. Pricing varies by season, with the journey starting from $5,895; a single supplement of $1,800 applies.
