Premium: Hiking and Yoga on the Wild Side of Mallorca

A Premium trip is built on the same foundations as our Classic trips: active time in wild places, led by brilliant local guides. The pace, trip style and difficulty level may vary, from slower journey-style itineraries with lighter activity to full active days out in the wild, so read the trip page carefully to make sure the adventure does suit your expectations and fitness.

What changes is the comfort. On our Classic trips, you’ll usually stay in 3-star hotels (occasionally 4-star), with simple guesthouses or wild camping where the destination calls for it. Premium is a step up from that, but it isn’t necessarily a five-star or ultra-luxury experience. Our Premium adventures usually come with 4-star hotels or above, or boutique and characterful places where star ratings don’t apply. We choose personality over chain-hotel polish, and we avoid international chains in favour of independent, locally owned places, so more of your money stays in the communities you visit. Facilities may vary: air conditioning isn’t guaranteed everywhere, and room categories aren’t always specified, so check the accommodation details if these matter to you.

Camping is rare on Premium trips and only included when it’s the only way to experience a remote destination that we think it’s worth including. When it is, you’ll get high-quality kit and an upgraded service from our local team.

Food is a highlight, not an afterthought: high-quality, local and plentiful, whether it’s a restaurant meal or a picnic with all the trimmings.

Your guide will be one of our most experienced, and small groups mean they always have time for you, whether that’s answering questions, adjusting the pace or finding a hidden viewpoint.

If you’re after guaranteed five-star hotels and Michelin dining, or a trip where comfort comes before adventure, our Premium collection won’t be the right fit. It’s for those who want the same wild adventures, highly curated from start to finish, with a little extra comfort at the end of each day.

This trip originally launched in 2023, using a different hotel in a different part of the Tramuntana. In 2025 we switched the accommodation to an improved base for the trip at Can Torna, offering a more exclusive experience away from other travellers, and giving the trip a more premium retreat vibe with exceptional food on offer at Can Torna. For 2026 we have added a lunch and continued to refine and elevate the food offered on the trip, ultimately leading to the trip being included in our new Premium Collection (opens in new tab). These changes enhance the overall experience and are reflected in the price. Since the core itinerary and local host remains largely the same, we’ve kept the original reviews, which still reflect the essence of the trip.

Absolutely not! This is far from a standard yoga retreat. Don't expect to follow a rigid and strict activity schedule or a restrictive detoxing diet. This adventure was designed for people who practice and love yoga, or who are just curious about it and want to experience the amazing benefits it brings for the first time. But it’s also fun, with plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding nature trails on foot, and enjoy delicious food and drink, all in the company of like-minded people. Relaxing and not taking yourself too seriously is kind of mandatory here!

The yoga sessions will be based around Vinyasa Flow (dynamic morning sessions) and Hatha (restorative afternoon sessions). Your experienced instructor will guide you through the sessions and combine the yoga with guided meditations to complement the body and mind elements of the practice. Ideal for relaxing after a hike, and to recover the body and energy for the next day.

The drinking water in Mallorca is perfectly safe to drink. You should fill up a reusable bottle or two from the agroturismo each morning before heading out for that day's hiking.

This is a centre-based trip, so your luggage will remain with you in your room at the agriturismo for the duration of the trip.

There are plentiful flights into Mallorca, so in the event your flight is cancelled, your airline will arrange alternative transport and your host will adjust your collection time from the airport.

If bad weather affects any of the hiking routes in the higher part of the Serra de Tramuntana, your host will deviate to a more sheltered part of the island for an alternative hike.

No. You'll need to have a larger bag suitable for all your belongings which will be transported for you, and then a small daysack to carry personal items during each day of hiking.

At Much Better Adventures, we work hard to accommodate dietary requirements and allergies so your trip is safe, inclusive and enjoyable. That said, options can vary by country, location and accommodation, and in some places options may be limited or unavailable. The information below has been provided by your host so you’re fully informed about what will be possible on your trip depending on your individual requirements. This information should be read carefully prior to your trip to ensure that you are adequately prepared for the situation ‘on the ground’.

Once you have booked on your trip, please fill out your passenger information form asap with any dietary requirements. Once you complete your passenger information, your dietary needs and any allergies are automatically shared with your host and, in turn, your guide. Please submit this as early as possible so they can plan accordingly and deliver the best experience. Please also remind your guide about your dietary requirements upon arrival, as mentioning these in person allows your guide to comprehend individual preferences and limitations as soon as you arrive.

BACKGROUND

Spain’s cuisine is shaped by a mix of Mediterranean agriculture, regional climates and a long history of trade and cultural exchange, resulting in varied, seasonal dishes that often centre on olive oil, vegetables, seafood and cured meats. This diversity means travellers with dietary requirements can often find suitable options, particularly in larger towns, though menus can be meat- and dairy-heavy in some regions. Vegetarian and gluten-free choices are increasingly understood, but it helps to plan ahead and communicate needs clearly, with a guide on hand to assist where language or local customs present challenges.

SPECIAL DIETS

Vegetarian Vegetarian diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

Vegan Vegan diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

Kosher Fully certified Kosher kitchens and supervision are rare and usually cannot be guaranteed unless expressly confirmed in advance by your host. Vegetarian or vegan options can often be the most reliable alternative if this is acceptable to you. Please read the related sections above.

Halal Certified Halal supply varies by destination and may not always be possible. Vegetarian or vegan options can often be the most reliable alternative if this is acceptable to you. Please read the related sections above.

INTOLERANCES

Gluten Free (for Coeliac, please see Allergies section below) Gluten-free diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

Lactose-free Lactose-free diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

ALLERGIES

Our host has confirmed that they are able to accommodate mild allergies to the 14 allergens (opens in new tab) identified by the UK Food Standards Agency, where these are disclosed in advance. However, if you have a severe or life-threatening food allergy, please get in touch with our Customer Experience team prior to booking to discuss whether your requirements can be accommodated safely on this trip. This will allow us to carefully consider the sensitivity and severity of your allergy, the available provision on the trip and the accessibility of medical care should a reaction occur. Your safety is always our top priority.

Please note that when travelling overseas, local ingredients, food preparation methods and labelling standards may vary, particularly in remote areas. It is also worth noting that any allergies may result in more limited options and repetitive provision in some areas. Whilst your guide will help communicate dietary requirements where possible, customers remain responsible for managing their own allergies during the trip.

Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination.

Mallorca has a typically Mediterranean climate and is usually lovely and warm. During April in the Tramuntana region you can expect temperatures of around 18-20°C (64-68°F), with lows of between 9-12°C (48-54°F). April is considered a transitional month, with mild temperatures and the possibility of occasional rain showers. Spring is underway, and the landscape starts to turn greener.

In May and October, the average highs range from 21-24°C (70-75°F), and the lows around 12-15°C (54-59°F). There is less rainfall in May and the region becomes even more lush and vibrant, while October marks the transition into autumn with lower temperatures towards the end of the month. September is a great time to visit as the weather is still warm, but the intense heat of summer has subsided, with average highs of 25-28°C (77-82°F), and lows of 17-20°C (63-68°F).

The sometimes uncomfortably high temperatures and greater tourist numbers in July and August make this a less desirable time to visit Mallorca, so we are not running group departures during this period (if you are interested in a private booking during July and August, please feel free to enquire as this can be accommodated, subject to availability).
