Trip curated by Roman Karin
ExpertThe MA-10 between Sóller and Pollensa is the road I'd build this Alcúdia chapter around: the corniche above the northwest coast, with the mountain dropping directly to the Mediterranean and the old olive groves terracing the slopes below, is a landscape that no beach-to-beach Mallorcan circuit reaches. It's the drive that makes clients understand what the island actually is. Alcúdia's medieval walled town before the Playa de Muro day-trippers arrive: the Roman forum and the 14th-century city gates are within five minutes of each other and almost empty before 9am. For the Cala Bona section, the coast road south through Porto Cristo rather than the motorway introduces the island's quieter limestone coastline at a pace the main road version bypasses entirely.

This resort hub is a bustling commercial and cultural centre and one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. While infused with modern-city glitz and glamour, it still retains much of its old charm in its historic centre - featuring beautiful architecture, narrow streets, and hidden courtyards. Don’t miss the 14th-century Castell de Bellver showcasing classical sculptures and archaeological finds, and the massive 13th-century Santa María Cathedral, which overlooks Palma’s crescent bay. Active types will delight in the numerous opportunities for hiking, snorkelling, kayaking, sailing, biking and scuba diving. Palma’s bohemian allure, rich heritage, al fresco tapas bars, and enticing cafes and restaurants attract scores of visitors each year.

Itinerary inspiration
Palma, then the east coast to Cala Bona, then north to Alcúdia — the rental car lets the island unfold at your own pace, and the route moves from the city to the coast to the mountains in a natural sequence. Alcúdia's combination of medieval walls, the long sandy bay at Playa de Muro, and easy access to the Tramuntana mountains makes it the strongest base for the longest section of the trip.
View less details
My go-to recommendation for the Tramuntana mountains: drive the road from Alcúdia toward Lluc and continue through the pass to Sóller rather than taking the main coastal route. The valley below Lluc, the monastery in the trees, and the descent toward the sea at Sóller on the other side make for one of the most rewarding drives in the Balearics. Allow a full afternoon.
Day 1: Palma
Hotel: Puro Hotel Oasis Urbano
One night in Palma with the Cathedral, the Bellver Castle above the bay, and the old town lanes in the early evening. The Puro Hotel Oasis Urbano is well-positioned in the historic center, and the walk along the harbor promenade at dusk, with the Cathedral lit above the water, is a strong introduction to the island.
Day 2–3: Cala Bona
Hotel: Hotel Atolon
The drive east from Palma along the motorway takes about an hour, and turning off toward the coast opens up a different Mallorca — smaller harbors, coves accessible only by a short walk, and local restaurants that operate without tourist menus. The beaches around Porto Cristo and the Coves del Drach are worth a half-day on the second day.
Day 4–7: Alcúdia
Hotel: INNSiDE Alcudia
Three nights gives you the medieval walls and old town, the long beach at Playa de Muro, the Tramuntana mountain drive, and an optional boat trip along the northern coast. The boat excursion is best booked for a weekday, when the departure points are quieter and the coves along the Cap de Formentor are far less crowded than they are on weekends.
