Majorca is a remarkable destination that offers endless things to do. If you are wondering what you can do in Majorca if you don't fancy the beach, here are some proposals that will allow you to have a great time getting to know this beautiful island, and without setting foot on a beach.
What to see and do in Majorca if you don't want to go to the beach
We don’t always want to go to the beach, and some people simply don’t like it. These ideas are for those moments or for people who prefer to do different things.
Drach Caves
Discovering the beautiful subterranean world of Majorca can be a good option. If you go to the Caves of Drach you can see it. There are four caves that are connected to each other and contain more than 1,000 meters to explore.
Here you can appreciate all that nature has to offer, such as the spectacular stalactites. The entrance fee includes a boat ride on the underground Martel Lake, as well as a classical music concert in a magical and unique setting.
Sa Dragonera
Another option is to go to the islet of Sa Dragonera, which lies to the southwest of Majorca and is separated from the island by a channel of about 800 meters. If we add the islets of Pantaleu and Mitjana, the whole area becomes the Natural Park of Sa Dragonera. It can be reached by boat from Majorca, as there are daily trips organized to visit Sa Dragonera. You can travel from one end to the other in just one day.
Gorg Blau Reservoir
The Gorg Blau reservoir is known as the "lake of Majorca". The Cúber reservoir also stands out in this regard. Both make up a natural landscape that stands out, above all, for its beauty. So much so that many artists have gone there to get inspiration for their paintings.
Tramuntana Mountains
The Tramuntana Mountains are one of the great treasures of Majorca. For many, some of the island's most beautiful villages are nestled neatly in its mountains. Valldemossa, Pollensa and Sòller are all remarkable in this sense. Sport lovers should also remember mind that Majorca has a total of 54 peaks that reach above 1,000 meters and most of them are found in the Tramuntana Range, a place of great beauty that is also a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Es Salt des Freus
Es Salt des Freus is located in the Orient Valley, 1.5 km from the town of Orient, in the Sierra de Tramuntana. In its day it was a route for charcoal burners, so the route is dotted with ancient ruins, stone troughs or pools, among others.
La Albufera
The Albufera de Majorca is located in the north of the island. This area, classified as a natural park, has great environmental value and can be entered free of charge. To visit it, you will have to go to the park's reception and register as a visitor. When you are there, you will have to choose among the four available tours, which offer you the option to see it on foot or by bicycle, something that you can also do with a guide.
Ses Fonts Ufanes
Ses Fonts Ufanes are another landmark of the island. These are springs with intermittent outcrops that appear when the rain has been irregular. It is a phenomenon that, from time to time, can be seen from the town of Campanet. If you are in Majorca when this happens, grab the opportunity to take this tour of no more than 20 minutes that will allow you to see this natural phenomenon for yourself.
Península de Llevant Natural Park
This Natural Park of the Peninsula de Llevant is a nature reserve in the northwest of the island. It covers more than 1,600 hectares and reaches as far as the Camí dels Presos. Those with an interest in history will be able to see at this point of the island the remains of the prison camp for soldiers who were captured during the Civil War.
These are some places to go to in Majorca if you don't fancy the beach, you only need to think about how you are going to get around the island. Undoubtedly, one of the cheapest, fastest and most comfortable ways is by hiring a rental car in Majorca. See all the available options.
