Mallorca is known for its beaches, but the island’s villages are where it feels most like home. If you are staying near Andratx or Sóller, these few are worth a day each.

Sóller. Take the old wooden tram down to the port and spend the afternoon by the water. The town square has cafes where it is easy to lose an hour.

Deià. A small hillside village that artists have loved for decades. Walk the lanes, then head down to the cove for a swim.

Valldemossa. Stone streets, flower-filled balconies and the local coca de patata, a sweet pastry you have to try.

Andratx. A relaxed town with a lively Wednesday market and easy access to the harbour at Port d’Andratx.

Estellencs. Quiet and green, and ideal if you want somewhere without crowds.

Most of these are within an hour of each other, so staying in one place and driving out each day works well. Ask us about villas and fincas in the area, and we can also arrange a car for the week.
