Areas in Mallorca
ROAMING STONES MAPWhere do you want to be?
Having grown up going to Mallorca, Roaming Stones best knows the Tramuntana mountain region, on the north west coast of Mallorca and this where most of our recommendations are.
The Tramuntana Mountains on the north coast of Mallorca are the heart of where we grew up spending our summers. If you would like a weekend of hiking, exploring the charming old towns of Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller, Banyalbufar and possibly boating on the magnificent northern coast of Mallorca, then this region is for you. If you do choose this area, car rental is a must.
Check us out driving through Palma – Puigpunyent – Esporles – Valldemosa – Deià.
For those seeking an urban experience, in the heart of old town Palma, a bustling city with a beautiful port, original shopping, and great bars and restaurants to explore. The hotels we recommend (See STAY) in Palma are all in the charming “Casco Antiguo” centered around the beautiful Cathedral. Palma is around 40 minutes from the Tramuntana Mountains. You do not need to rent a car if you stay in Palma. (However if you’d like to access any of the beautiful beaches, calas, hikes on the Northwest Coast, we hightly recommend you do so).
If you would like a seaside weekend, then we recommend staying in this area west of Palma, between Cala Major and Portals Nous. The port of Portals is a charming area where there is shopping, plenty of boat rental options and beach restaurants. This area is ~40 minutes away from the Tramuntana Mountains.
