Mallorca is known for its dreamy beaches and endless party nights. However, my favourite part of my visit was neither of these things. Personally, I loved exploring the little charming towns on the coast. And if you\u2019re planning a trip through the most beautiful Mallorca spots, my list is here to help! In this article, I have made a list of my top favourite 12 Mallorca resorts, towns and villages<\/b> that should be on your itinerary as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved spending the day exploring the cobbled streets, eating at local restaurants and finding little boutique shops, then ending the day at a nearby beach away from the major crowds you find around the capital, aka Palma de Mallorca. There is something so calming and relaxed about spending your time in the smaller Mallorcan towns, so I\u2019ve highlighted my 12 favourites below to show you why they\u2019re worth a day trip from the capital. You just need to choose your favourite ones and go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are all 12 towns I included in my Majorca travel guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting around Mallorca<\/h3>\n\n\n

In this guide, I\u2019ll mention the TIB buses a lot, as it is the main method of public transportation outside of Palma de Mallorca. To check all the schedules and pricing, you can visit the\u202fTransport public de Mallorca\u2019s website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP:<\/b> If you buy your ticket online, you\u2019ll get it in digital QR format and it\u2019ll be 40% cheaper than the price on the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option of getting around in Mallorca is by rented car<\/strong>, which is also my most recommended option. There are some places that are a bit harder to reach with public transportation, so a car will offer you ALL the flexibility in the world! I recommend checking for car options and up-to-date prices on this website<\/a>. Alternatively (and a fun option) would be to rent a scooter for your day trips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, let\u2019s get this started! If you\u2019re curious to find out where to go in Majorca, in the following list you\u2019ll find my top Mallorca resorts, towns and villages. I am, of course, excluding Palma de Mallorca. For a complete guide to Palma de Mallorca, check out the following article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY VISIT VALLDEMOSSA?<\/h3>\n\n\n

This is probably one of the most romantic places in Majorca! Valldemossa, located just 17 km from Palma, is one of the most famous villages on the island and not just for its cobbled streets, pink houses and fairytale feel. Valldemossa is the destination where the composer Chopin and his lover, Aurore Dudevant, spent one of their winters almost two hundred years ago. In fact, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin himself liked the place so much, he said that Valldemossa is \u201cthe most beautiful place in the world\u201d. That MUST mean something!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valldemossa also has a museum in Chopin\u2019s honour. It can be found within a 13th-century monastery and it is filled with memorabilia from their stay, as well as Chopin\u2019s Mallorcan piano, with which he composed his collection of 24 preludes. And there\u2019s also a festival taking place here every year, called the Chopin Classical Music Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n

HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I SPEND THERE?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Valldemossa won\u2019t be a very long visit. Although popular with tourists, the town itself is quite small and you\u2019ll find that 1-2 hours is more than enough. You can walk around the village, visit the museum, drink a cup of coffee and enjoy some coca de patata<\/i>, one of the village\u2019s staple sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE TO STAY?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Mirab\u00f3 de Valldemossa<\/a> \u2013 Located on a hill, this hotel provides beautiful views across the town. I\u2019m in love with the bare stone walls in the hotels interior and the outdoor infinity pool overlooking the mountains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE TO EAT?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Ca\u2019n Mario<\/a> \u2013 A family-run restaurant that has gained its place in the heart of the locals. This restaurant is great for trying traditionally Mallorcan dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n

HOW TO GET TO VALLDEMOSSA?<\/h3>\n\n\n

By car:<\/b> 15 min drive from Palma de Mallorca
By scooter<\/b>: 40 min drive from Palma de Mallorca
By bus<\/b>: TIB bus \u2013 line 210
Leaving from Palma Plaza d\u2019Espanya every 1-2hrs, starting at 6.30 AM. Duration: 30 minutes. Costs 1.90\u20ac each way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By organised tour<\/b>: I recommend this tour of Soller Port and Valldemossa<\/a> that will take you to the two villages by bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY VISIT DEI\u00c0?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Life in Dei\u00e0 is still led by locals and holds a simple, laid-back vibe. This pretty little village is etched into the hills, so even though it has some of the cutest streets to explore, be prepared to walk up and down a lot here. While in town, make sure to check out La Casa de Robert Graves, a well-known English novelist and poet that used to live here in the \u201830s. The overall mood is of a wealthy village, with pretty upscale hotels and amazing restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 20-minute walk (or 10 minutes by car) from Dei\u00e0 you\u2019ll find the cobbled shores of Cala Deia, a stunning cove beach set between large rocks and the perfect place to spend the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n

HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I SPEND THERE?<\/h3>\n\n\n

I recommend making a full day trip<\/strong> by combining a visit to Valldemossa and Deia. Then end the day chilling at Deia Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE TO STAY?<\/h3>\n\n\n
