Voyages sur mesure à Mallorca
Balearic beaches with Sierra de Tramuntana hikes above.
Qu'est-ce qu'un voyage sur mesure à Mallorca?
A custom Mallorca tour drives the Sóller heritage train through the Tramuntana mountains, books a private boat to the marine reserve of Cabrera, arranges a Binissalem winery visit, and positions you at a finca in Deià for the writers' village atmosphere. The key is avoiding the package-tour coast and experiencing the island that local residents actually inhabit.
Mallorca has spent fifty years being famous for the wrong reasons. The package-tour coast around Palma Nova and Magaluf is only a fraction of a large island that also contains the Sierra de Tramuntana — a UNESCO mountain range of terraced olive groves, medieval villages, and cycling roads that professional teams use for spring training. A custom Mallorca tour starts in Tramuntana, not on the beach strip.
The island has two personalities: the interior and the coast. Inland Mallorca is finca hotels in orchards, country markets on Thursday mornings, wines from the Binissalem DO that almost nobody outside Spain knows, and the kind of road trips you plan by finding a village on a topographic map and driving toward it. Coastal Mallorca is the Calobra boat, the Sóller train, and the clear water of Cala d'Or.
May through June and September through October deliver perfect conditions: temperatures 22–28°C, empty mountain roads, and the island's almond and apricot trees in seasonal rhythm. Tours start at €2,200 per person. Ibiza and Menorca are a short flight or ferry away for an island-hopping extension.

7 jours classique
- 1Jour 1: Arrival & Palma Catedral EveningPalma de Mallorca has one of the most dramatic Gothic cathedrals in Spain — built facing the sea, with Gaudi's contribution to the interior visible on close inspection. Arrive, check in to a hotel in the old city, and spend the afternoon navigating the Arab Baths, the old quarter's medieval alleys, and the Almudaina Royal Palace. First dinner at a restaurant in Santa Catalina — Palma's neighborhood market district, genuinely local.
- 2Jour 2: Sóller Heritage Train & Mountain VillageThe vintage wooden train from Palma to Sóller crosses the Tramuntana mountains through 13 tunnels built in 1912. Your guide provides historical context aboard the train: the citrus trade that financed the line, the Art Nouveau station at Sóller. In the village: the Moderniste bank, the market square, the botanical garden. Afternoon return via the Tramuntana road to Deià for a swim at Cala Deià.
- 3Jour 3: Tramuntana Hike & Deià Writers' VillageDeià was Robert Graves' base from 1929 until his death in 1985, and the village still attracts writers, musicians, and painters. Morning walk on the GR221 mountain route through terraced olive groves, abandoned hermitages, and limestone peaks. Graves' house (La Canellun) open for visits. Lunch at an outdoor restaurant above the village. Evening: wine at a terrace bar while the Tramuntana light does what it does to limestone.
- 4Jour 4: Cabrera National Park Private BoatCabrera Archipelago is a national park 10km south of Mallorca's southern tip — a marine reserve with some of the clearest water in the western Mediterranean. Day charter from Colònia de Sant Jordi: anchor in the crystal bay, snorkel above posidonia meadows (the endemic Balearic lizard watches from the rocks), visit the 14th-century castle. Permit required; your tour arranges it.
- 5Jour 5: Binissalem Wine CountryThe Binissalem DO in the island's central plain is Spain's most underrated wine region: red wines from the Manto Negro grape and white Prensal have been improving dramatically. Your sommelier guide arranges private tastings at two estates — one a historic bodega in the village, one a contemporary winery with a Mallorcan chef's tasting menu. Afternoon in the village market.
- 6Jour 6: Formentor Peninsula & Cap de FormentorThe Formentor peninsula extends from the northeast corner of Mallorca into the sea, ending in a lighthouse above vertical cliffs. Drive the corniche road at dawn before it closes to traffic (the lighthouse road restricts cars June–September, replaced by a shuttle bus from 10 a.m.). Swim at Platja de Formentor — one of Spain's finest beaches, sheltered by pine forest. Lunch at a seafront restaurant in Port de Pollença.
- 7Jour 7: Palma Markets & DepartureSaturday morning at the Mercat de l'Olivar in Palma: fish, fruit, vegetables, Mallorcan ensaïmada pastries, and sobrassada sausage. The covered market has been running continuously since the 13th century under various names. Final espresso at a café on the Passeig des Born. Airport transfer.

- 8Jour 8: Sa Calobra Boat & Torrent de PareisThe boat journey from Port de Sóller to Sa Calobra passes the most dramatic coastal scenery in the Balearics — 300-meter cliffs reflected in cobalt water. At Sa Calobra: the Torrent de Pareis gorge walk (2km through a carved limestone slot canyon to the sea inlet). Impossible by road for most tour buses, easy by private boat.
- 9Jour 9: Artà & Eastern VillagesArtà is the best example of a Mallorcan market town that has resisted tourist development: a hillside walled sanctuary, a good prehistoric talayot site, and a livestock market on Tuesday mornings. Drive east via Capdepera castle to the caletas (small coves) of the east coast — Cala Mondragó and Cala Figuera — for the afternoon swim.
- 10Jour 10: Lluc Sanctuary & Mountain RoadThe Lluc sanctuary in the Tramuntana mountains is Mallorca's spiritual center — a monastery of 1200 monks, pilgrim hostal, boys' choir (La Sibil·la), and museum. Your guide takes you via the mountain road from Pollença, stopping at viewpoints above olive terraces. Lunch at the monastery restaurant: arròs brut (Mallorcan rice), lamb, and Tramuntana honey dessert.
- 11Jour 11: Cap de Ses Salines & Southern CoastThe southern tip of Mallorca: Cap de Ses Salines lighthouse, the salt pans at Salines de Llevant (flamingos in summer), and the stone village of Ses Salines. Drive the southeastern coast via Cala Pi (dramatic cliff cove) to Campos for Mallorcan pottery. Evening in Palma's El Born neighborhood.
- 12Jour 12: Palma Art Galleries & MuseumsPalma's cultural life has concentrated in the last decade: Es Baluard museum of contemporary art in a 16th-century bastion, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró (Miró's Mallorcan studio, preserved as he left it), and the Museu de Mallorca in a Renaissance palace. Your art guide connects these collections to the island's specific light that Miró loved.
- 13Jour 13: Farewell Finca DinnerDay at leisure for return visits or discoveries. Evening farewell dinner at a finca restaurant in the Tramuntana foothills — traditional Mallorcan cooking: stuffed courgette flowers, roast suckling pig, almond cake with orange blossom honey.
- 14Jour 14: Mercat de l'Olivar & DepartureFinal morning at Palma's covered market: ensaïmada for the flight, sobrassada for the cheese board back home. Palma Cathedral one last time in the morning light. Airport transfer.
Informations pratiques
Foire aux questions
When is the best time to visit Mallorca?+
May–June and September–October are ideal: sea temperatures 20–24°C, mountain roads uncrowded, and finca hotels at their seasonal best. July–August is very hot (35°C+) and heavily touristed on the coast, though the Tramuntana mountains remain manageable. April offers cycling roads in peak condition and spring wildflowers. November–March is quiet, with many coastal businesses closed, but the island's interior market towns and restaurants continue as normal.
Is Mallorca just for beach holidays?+
Not at all — the Tramuntana mountains, running the full length of the northwest coast, are UNESCO-listed and offer serious hiking, cycling, and village exploration. The interior Mallorcan towns (Artà, Sineu, Pollença) have authentic market cultures. The Binissalem wine region is underrated. Palma is a genuinely excellent city. The package-tour coast around Palma Nova is one Mallorca; the other 80% of the island is something else.
What is the Sóller heritage train experience?+
The Ferrocarril de Sóller is a vintage narrow-gauge wooden train built in 1912 to transport Sóller's citrus harvest to Palma through the Tramuntana mountains. The journey crosses 13 tunnels and several mountain viaducts in original wooden carriages. At Sóller, an Art Nouveau tram continues to the port. It's primarily a tourist experience now but the scenery and the infrastructure are genuinely historic — the only way to cross the Tramuntana without a car.
What is the Cabrera National Park and how do I visit?+
Cabrera is an archipelago of 19 islands south of Mallorca, a national park since 1991 with no permanent resident population. Access requires a permit (limited daily visitors). Day boats depart from Colònia de Sant Jordi (45 minutes). The water is among the clearest in the Mediterranean, with posidonia seagrass meadows protecting a rich marine ecosystem. The 14th-century castle has a small museum about the Napoleonic prisoners who died here in captivity.
What is Mallorcan food beyond tapas?+
Mallorca has a distinct cuisine: Arròs brut (rough rice with pork and vegetables), tumbet (layered potato and aubergine bake), frit mallorquí (offal fry-up for breakfast), pa amb oli (bread rubbed with tomato and olive oil), sobrassada (soft paprika-cured sausage), and ensaïmada (lard-enriched spiral pastry dusted with icing sugar). The island produces its own olive oils, almonds, capers, and the Manto Negro wine. Palma's Santa Catalina market neighborhood has the best restaurant concentration.
