Valldemossa, Son Marroig and Soller tour with historic train ride

History meets scenery on this Tramuntana Mountains tour. You'll visit the honey-stone village of Valldemossa, explore handsome Soller town and enjoy the views on a vintage train ride through mountains and valleys. Xisco, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The train is the pride of the people of Soller.

You can either explore the village under your own steam or join a guided tour to learn more about its history and culture.

Then it's on to Son Marroig for a guide tour of the ravishing Renaissance-style estate overlooking the sea.Next, we'll head to Soller, a busy town built by wealthy citrus fruit merchants.

Excursions & day trips

Guided Tour of Hams Caves with Dinosaurland Visit

As family outings in Majorca go, it's hard to beat this double-header to the Hams Caves and Dinosaurland. It's a spine-tingling and dramatic journey into the island's pre-history, where Genesis and Titanosaur will leave you open-mouthed. Marga, one of our local guides, says, ‘This tour really captures the imagination as you go from one of Majorca's oldest attractions, the 10-million-year-old Hams Caves, to one of the newest, the recently opened Dinosaurland.'The Hams Caves may be millions of years old, but they were discovered only last century. And since then, they've become one of the island's top attractions. As you explore the three main caves, you'll learn about the island's original inhabitants. The semi-open Round Cave, with its botanical vegetation, has a Jurassic feel to it – and whets your appetite for what's inside. In the Blue Cave, an audiovisual timelapse documentary called Genesis recounts the history of Majorca from the Big Bang to today. And the Classic Cave, which is a network of 12 chambers, is full of mystery. There's also a soothing Venetian-inspired music show.The mild gives way to the wild at Dinosaurland, where you'll walk among the more than 100 life-sized recreations of dinosaurs, including the mythical Titanosaurus, at more than 50m long. Some consider it to have been the largest species. The kids can also play at being palaeontologists, enjoy games and puzzles or try their hand at drawing. A great day out for the whole family.

Things to do in Mallorca

The largest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca is known for being one of the top vacation destinations in the Mediterranean – and it's easy to see why. Annually, millions of travelers are drawn to this island escape for its sunny climate and picturesque beaches, but there's much more to see and do here than just sunbathe. Heading off the tourist trail to discover authentic island tradition at one of the many villages, exploring the extensive underground network at Drach caves or ascending through the scenic landscapes of the Tramuntana mountain range are just some of the many experiences you can enjoy during your time in Mallorca.

Top things to see and do in Mallorca

1. Explore Palma

Mallorca's atmospheric capital, Palma, is packed full of history, culture, and attractions. A city of old and new, you'll find all-manner of shops, restaurants, and bars here, alongside distinctive Mediterranean-style architecture. Lose yourself in a maze of narrow, cobbled streets in the old town, or head further out to see the likes of Bellver Castle or La Almudaina Palace. Palma’s crowning jewel, though, is La Seu Cathedral — is a symbol of the city. One of the largest cathedrals in the world, this Gothic masterpiece is one of Mallorca’s must-see sights.

2. Go underground at Drach caves

Mallorca's cave systems are vast and plentiful, but Drach caves leads the way for iconic attractions both on the island and in the Balearics. Descend underground and weave through a series of caverns adorned with thousands of stalactites and stalagmites. You'll also find Lake Martel here — one of the largest underground lakes in the world. And if you're left wanting more, there's Arta caves and Hams caves, which are also well worth a visit.

3. Travel back in time on the historic Soller train

Mallorca's vintage wooden train has been reliably ferrying passengers and cargo to the charming seaside town of Soller since its inaugural journey in 1912. Nowadays, it serves as an ideal way to catch a glimpse of the island's rustic interior. Cross through parts of the Tramuntana Mountains — UNESCO-declared World Heritage Site — for unparalleled beauty and panoramic views. Once you're in Soller, treat yourself to freshly-squeezed orange juice from one of the many local restaurants, or continue on to the Port of Soller by tram.

4. Discover Valldemossa and the West Coast

Arguably one of the most beautiful towns on the island, you'll find Valldemossa located in the heart of the Tramuntana Mountains. Its charming town centre is something straight out of a fairytale, with its old monastery, La Cartuja, among one of its must-visits. Venture further along the striking west coast of the island, and you'll see towering cliffs, hidden coves and typical Mallorcan villages. The Son Marroig estate in Deia and Sa Calobra beach are two other essential stops here.

5. Sip on local wine in Binissalem

Trips to the wine capital of Mallorca, Binissalam, are among of the most popular activities on the island. In addition to touring the sprawling vineyards, discovering historic wineries, and tasting some of the island's finest wines, you'll learn all there is to know about local grape varieties and wine-making processes. Many winery tours include the chance to savour a traditional meal, expertly paired with local vino.

6. Spend a day exploring Cap de Formentor

Cap de Formentor is the northernmost point of the island, and its dramatic cliffs make for one of the most impressive views in Mallorca. Guided tours normally include a stop at one of the viewpoints dotted in the peninsula, such as the Colomer viewpoint. And after the chance to admire the views, there's nothing better than relaxing on Formentor beach, famous for its talcum-white sands and crystal-clear waters.

Plan your visit to Mallorca

When is the best time to visit Mallorca?

Mallorca enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with warm temperatures in summer and mild temperatures in winter. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 86°F during the day, so if you're after a beach holiday, July and August are the best — although busiest — months to go. Temperatures in spring and fall are pleasant and, with luck, you may be able to enjoy a day or two at the beach. These seasons are ideal for exploring the island calmly, as well as taking part in outdoor sports such as hiking or cycling.

How many days do I need in Mallorca?

You'll need at least 3 days to visit the best of Mallorca. On a long weekend, you can explore Palma and take a visit or guided tour to the highlights of the island, like Drach caves or Valldemossa. But, if you want to enjoy a few days on the beach, take a hike and discover the island in no rush, between 5 days and a week is perfect.

Where are the best beaches in Mallorca?

With nearly 300 beaches, there's somewhere to please everyone in Majorca. One of the most popular is Formentor beach, a stone's throw from Puerto de Pollença. This sandy stretch, flanked by a lush pine forest, never disappoints. Mondrago beach, located in the natural park of the same name, also tops the list, as do the neighboring Sa Amador and Es Borguit. Es Trenc beach is part of a protected natural area and is also considered one of the best in Majorca. For those who prefer beaches with all kinds of services, Alcudia is an excellent option.
