Mallorca guide
Four days on the island, planned around you.
By Ramin Jafari · Facts checked
A base in the mountain village of Deià, Palma’s Cathedral and old town, a wine estate in Binissalem and a sail at sunset, a morning in the Serra de Tramuntana, and a last day by the sea or in Valldemossa. Treat it as a starting point for a private, tailor-made stay in Mallorca, planned by Avelia from Málaga; every part of it can change.
Highlights
A treatment in its spa or a walk through its grounds, and a quiet first evening.
Its stone streets, the hotel's own Sa Tafona gallery, and an artist's studio on request.
A tasting at a family estate, from the native Manto Negro and Moll grapes, on request.
Days 1–4
Day 1
Morning
A private transfer from Palma’s airport to Belmond La Residencia, then a treatment in its spa or a walk through its grounds.
Afternoon
Lunch in the village, fish and Mediterranean cooking with the island’s wines. Then Deià’s stone streets and the hotel’s own Sa Tafona gallery, and an artist’s studio where one welcomes visitors, on request.
Evening
Dinner at one of Palma’s Michelin-starred restaurants and a walk along the waterfront, or a quiet evening at the hotel.
Day 2
Morning
With a private guide: La Seu, the Cathedral, and the Arab Baths, the domed room of an 11th-century bathhouse on twelve columns. Then coffee and a pastry in the old town.
Afternoon
A tasting at a family estate in the D.O. Binissalem, from the native Manto Negro and Moll grapes, and lunch at the vineyard, on request.
Evening
Back to the hotel, then out along the coast on a private yacht as the sun goes down, with something to eat on board. Dinner on board, or at a restaurant by the sea; more tables are in our Mallorca food and cuisine guide.
Day 3
Morning
A guided walk or bike ride in the Serra de Tramuntana, the route set to your pace, and breakfast as a picnic of local produce.
Afternoon
Es Baluard, Palma’s museum of modern and contemporary art, on a bastion of the city’s Renaissance walls, with a guide. Lunch in the old town, Mallorcan cooking with a modern hand.
Evening
A private chef’s dinner at the hotel or a villa, each course with a Mallorcan wine, on request. Then a drink on a rooftop above the lit-up city.
Day 4
Morning
A last swim and a light lunch at a beach club, or Valldemossa’s streets and its Charterhouse, where Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838–39.
Afternoon
A farewell lunch at a hotel restaurant above the sea, then a private transfer to the airport.
Where you stay
The four days start from Deià, a village of stone houses at the foot of the mountains, above the sea, and from Belmond La Residencia. The hotel is open from March to November, so the plan is for those months; out of season, or for a base nearer Palma, we suggest another of our hotels.

Your proposal sets out the arrangements included in your trip.
Four days on the island pair easily with more of the Mediterranean, or with a stay on the mainland. One of our journeys stays here.
To add one or two places: Ibiza, for Dalt Vila’s old town, quiet coves and a sailing day to Formentera; Barcelona, for art, architecture and the table, a short flight from Palma; Valencia, for the Lonja, the City of Arts and Sciences and paella in the Albufera; or Provence, for lavender, wine estates and the French countryside.
