The complete itinerary
Base yourself in Palma and handle the city stay mostly on foot, with buses or short taxi rides for Bellver and a few cross-town links. The island stays car-free for the compact Palma days, while the longer inland and coastal excursions are the ones that benefit from a car or private transfer. Keep the vehicle out of central Palma unless you are specifically heading out for those day trips.
Mallorca
Keep the arrival portion flexible, settle in and use the selected plan as the day’s main anchor when timing and energy allow.
Use this time for arrival, luggage and hotel check-in when available, then keep the pace light before the next plan.
Palma’s waterfront gives you the city at its most open and scenic, with the old stone core framed by water and sky. The walk along Parc de la Mar brings the cathedral into view from a low, reflective basin, while the Passeig Marítim adds a more contemporary seaside promenade feel.
Palma on foot: Settle into Palma Old Town and explore the waterfront on foot from your accommodation. The evening is easy to manage without a car, with short walks or a quick taxi if you prefer to save time.
Mallorca
Use the selected plan as the day’s main anchor and keep the remaining time flexible for rest, meals or a nearby activity.
Bellver Castle and its forest park combine Palma’s most distinctive hilltop outlook with a quieter green side of the city. The round Gothic castle rises above pine-covered slopes, and the paths around Bosque de Bellver feel shaded and mellow compared with the waterfront.
Use the open time for rest, a leisurely meal or a short nearby activity only when weather and energy support it.
Central Palma access: Use a short taxi, bus, or a longer walk to reach Bellver Castle and the surrounding park from central Palma. Keep the day car-free so you can avoid downtown parking and focus on the hilltop views.
Mallorca
Use the morning and afternoon plans as the day’s two anchors, with time between them for transportation, meals and breaks.
Portixol and Molinar show Palma’s lived-in seafront, where harbor energy meets a relaxed local promenade. The morning atmosphere is especially appealing here: fishing boats, cyclists, swimmers, and cafés give the shoreline a neighborhood feel rather than a resort one.
Cala Major and Miró mix beach time with one of Mallorca’s most important modern-art settings. The contrast is part of the appeal: sand and sea at Cala Major sit just uphill from Fundació Miró Mallorca, where the artist’s workshops and collection add depth to the afternoon.
Coast to coast: Use local transport or taxi-style hops to link Palma’s east-side seafront in the morning with Cala Major in the afternoon. These are both easy city-area outings, so a rental car is not needed.
Mallorca
Use the selected plan as the day’s main anchor and keep the remaining time flexible for rest, meals or a nearby activity.
Lluc is one of Mallorca’s most atmospheric inland day trips, shaped by mountain quiet, pilgrimage history, and woodland instead of coast. The sanctuary square, gardens, and museum give the place a contemplative rhythm, while Camí dels Misteris adds a gentle outdoor walk through the wooded setting.
Use the open time for rest, a leisurely meal or a short nearby activity only when weather and energy support it.
Upland day trip: Reach Lluc by car or private transfer for the smoothest mountain access and easiest timing. It is a longer inland excursion, so keep the day focused on the monastery area and avoid trying to combine it with too many extra stops.

Use the selected plan as the day’s main anchor and keep the remaining time flexible for rest, meals or a nearby activity.
Coves del Drach and Porto Cristo pair Mallorca’s most famous underground landscape with a small harbor town that feels easy to settle into afterward. The caves are the headline, with dramatic chambers and a lake-like setting underground, while Porto Cristo’s old waterfront adds a calmer coastal finish.
Use the open time for rest, a leisurely meal or a short nearby activity only when weather and energy support it.
East coast excursion: Use a car or prearranged transfer for the Palma to Porto Cristo round trip, since this is a substantial cross-island day. The cave and harbor area works best with a direct arrival and a simple return to Palma afterward.

Sant Elm offers a quieter western-edge day trip where the sea, village harbor, and views toward Sa Dragonera shape the whole mood. The beach and coastal paths make it feel open and breezy, while the island viewpoints give the landscape more drama than a simple seaside stop.
Use the open time for rest, a leisurely meal or a short nearby activity only when weather and energy support it.
Southwest day trip: Sant Elm and the Sa Dragonera area are best reached by car or private transfer from Palma. This keeps the day flexible for coastal stops and makes the return to Palma straightforward after the outing.

Use the selected plan as the day’s main anchor and keep the remaining time flexible for rest, meals or a nearby activity.
Mondragó Natural Park is one of Mallorca’s most satisfying coast-and-trail days, with clear water, coves, and easy nature walking in one protected setting. Cala Mondragó and S’Amarador bring the beach side of the park, while the trails and viewpoints add short scenic links between them.
Use the open time for rest, a leisurely meal or a short nearby activity only when weather and energy support it.
Park access day: Go by car or private transfer to Cala Mondragó Natural Park, since the area is much easier to enjoy with direct access and a flexible return. Use the vehicle for the approach and keep the park itself on foot.
Mallorca
Keep the day flexible for breakfast, checkout, luggage and onward travel. Add only a short nearby meal or walk if your departure timing leaves a comfortable buffer.
Getting around today: Keep the day simple and use the short route from your Palma base to the airport or onward departure point. Leave extra time if you are traveling with checked bags or returning a rental car.
