BEST 5 HIKES IN MALLORCA: SCENIC TRAILS, COASTAL WALKS & HIDDEN GEMS
Mallorca might be famous for its beaches, but the true magic of the island reveals itself when you venture beyond the coastline and explore its diverse landscapes on foot. Hiking in Mallorca transforms your experience completely - each trail offers something unique, from dramatic mountain scenery to rugged coastal paths, all paired with unforgettable views, so worth it!
If you’re planning a trip to Mallorca and want to go beyond the typical tourist spots, discovering the island’s best hiking routes is a must. One of the biggest advantages? You can hike in Mallorca all year round. In fact, many trails are even more enjoyable during the cooler months, with winter and shoulder seasons offering perfect temperatures - especially for exposed coastal hikes where summer heat can be intense.
What makes hiking in Mallorca truly special is the variety. One day you could be trekking through the stunning Serra de Tramuntana mountains, and the next, following scenic seaside trails with panoramic Mediterranean views. Each hike showcases a completely different side of the island, making it a paradise for outdoor lovers and adventure seekers alike.

📍 Valldemossa
This hike is all about those dramatic mountain views. Winding through the Tramuntana, it feels peaceful, a little rugged, and incredibly scenic.
Distance: 9.95 km
Duration: ~3 hours
Ascent: 603 m
Difficulty: Medium
What I loved most was the constant panorama over the mountains - it’s one of those hikes where you’ll want to stop every few minutes just to take it all in. It’s also perfect to combine with a visit to the charming village of Valldemossa afterward.
Good to know:
Wear proper shoes - some sections get steep and rocky. And if you’re not great with heights, this one might feel a bit exposed in places.
📍 Capdepera
This one is such a contrast - coastal, breezy, and full of those dreamy turquoise views Mallorca is known for.
Distance: 13.9 km
Duration: ~3h50
Ascent: 502 m
Difficulty: Medium
You’ll pass beautiful beaches along the way, so definitely bring your swimsuit if the weather allows. The wide-open ocean views make this hike feel really special.
Good to know:
It can get quite windy here, so I’d recommend bringing a light jacket or hoodie. Also, there aren’t many places to stop, so pack snacks and water.
📍 Llucmajor
If you’re in the mood for something easy and relaxed, this coastal walk is perfect.
Distance: 10 km (out & back)
Duration: ~2h10
Ascent: 0 m
Difficulty: Easy
It’s technically more of a walk than a hike, but the scenery is still stunning - think rugged cliffs, crystal-clear water, and quiet beaches. You can even extend it all the way to Cala Pi if you feel like going further.
Good to know:
There’s no shade and no facilities along the way, so bring plenty of water.
📍 Randa
Shorter hike, but definitely not to be underestimated.
Distance: 6.5 km
Duration: ~1h35
Ascent: 336 m
Difficulty: Medium
This hike leads up to a monastery, and the reward at the top is so worth it - not just the views, but also the café terrace where you can sit, relax, and soak it all in.
Good to know:
The ascent can feel tougher than expected, especially in the heat. Also, keep an eye out for mountain bikers on the trail.
📍 Andratx
This one felt like a real adventure - a mix of mountain paths, coastal views, and hidden spots.
Distance: 10.6 km
Duration: ~3h45
Ascent: 336 m
Difficulty: Medium
About halfway through, you’ll find a beautiful (and often quiet) beach - the perfect place for a break. The views over the coastline are absolutely incredible.
Good to know:
The trail can be a bit tricky to follow at times, so having a map or GPS helps. And like a few of these hikes - no cafés or huts, so bring everything you need.
