You'll be happy with full days on hiking trails with a decent amount of up and down to reach the best views. No yoga experience needed.
Hike epic mountain trails in the Serra de Tramuntana, the stunning backbone of Mallorca, to reach dreamy Mediterranean swim spots
Tackle the Three Peaks of the Tramuntana: an incredible circular day hike with 360º views to Menorca, Ibiza and all the way to mainland Spain
Stretch out and unwind with sunrise and sunset yoga sessions in sumptuous surroundings, led by an experienced instructor
Kick back in an idyllic agroturismo, the perfect rural retreat in which to relax, disconnect and tuck into tasty local cuisine
Day 1
Settle in to your beautiful base
Yoga
Touch down at Palma de Mallorca Airport and get whisked away by your host to the Agroturismo Alqueria Blanca, nestled in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana. Relax into the serene surroundings, take a swim in the pool or lounge on the terrace before meeting up with your fellow adventurers and hiking guides for a chat about the next few days. Your yoga instructor, Mia, will lead the first session of meditation and yoga this evening within the grounds of the agroturismo. Tuck into a delicious welcome meal of typical Mediterranean flavours before setting in for a good night's sleep, ahead of the explorations starting tomorrow.
Day 2
Formentor lighthouse and a sumptuous sea swim
Hiking
Yoga
After waking up in your peaceful retreat, enjoy a relaxed breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean before hitting the trails for your first taste of hiking in the Tramuntana: one of Mallorca's most stunning hikes around the Formentor lighthouse. This rugged coastal area on the northern end of the island is stunningly beautiful, and you'll follow parts of the 'lighthouse keeper's walk', eventually winding your way to Cala Murta where there is a dreamy swim spot and on to Faro Formentor for a lookout over the huge clifftops. Head back to the agroturismo for an evening yoga session to stretch out your limbs post-hike, then wind down into another delicious dinner taken late in the day – Spanish style.
Day 3
The Three Peaks of the Tramuntana
Hiking
Delve deeper into the Tramuntana today on a memorable circular route through the heart of the Serra, dominated by the imperious peak of Puig Major. Begin your ascent to three magnificent peaks; first clambering up to Sa Rateta at 1113m, then a small descent and slight climb on to the next summit – Na'Franquesa at 1067m, for views over the lakes below. Descend to a hill linking up to the final summit of the trilogy: Puig de l'Ofre at 1093m. The view from the summit is an incredible 360º panorama of the whole island. Tuck into a picnic lunch here and then take the GR trail back to the road. In the afternoon, visit the lovely town of Soller, which is nestled between the green of the mountains and the blue of the Mediterranean Sea. Grab a beer or ice cream, swim in the sea and soak up Soller at sunset, before heading back to Bunyola for dinner and a well-earned sleep after the biggest hike of the trip.
Day 4
Along the GR221
Hiking
Yoga
Today's route starts in the town of Valldemossa, ascending the GR221 trail known as the Coma des Cairats (the Archduke Trail). Hike through this area of rugged, forested landscapes past the refuge until the Puig de Gros summit. Continue on to Puig Caragoli with stunning views towards the North Coast and the community of Deià. Begin the descent along the Cami del Arxiduc all the way back to Valldemossa, where you will try the traditional coca de patata – a local recipe of flour, gourd and potato baked in ball shapes and a jealously guarded secret of the bakers here. Settle in for an evening of meditative yoga as Mia leads another session in the grounds of the agroturismo, before enjoying dinner and bedding down for the night.
Day 5
Sunrise yoga and a trip to bohemian Deià
Rise early today for a sunrise yoga session, taking to the mat one last time with your instructor for a restorative start to your final morning of the trip. Soak up the last of the dreamy agroturismo, grab a swim and enjoy breakfast before heading off to visit the bohemian village of Deià, a place that has drawn artists, painters and writers over the years. Head down to Cala de Deià for one last swim in the Mediterranean, before your host transfers you back to Palma de Mallorca airport for your onward flight home.
*Note: if you have a flight in the morning or early afternoon, you can head straight to the airport from the agroturismo and skip the visit to Deià.

What is the food like?
Breakfasts at the agroturismo each morning will offer you an array of delicious options, such as fresh tropical fruits, local pastries, breads, cured meats, cheeses, eggs, Spanish tortilla and freshly squeezed orange juice. You'll buy a packed lunch each day, either from the agriturismo or from local shops and bakeries suggested by your guide, which you will take out with you on the trails so you can enjoy a picnic in a scenic spot. You should budget €10-15 per day for your lunch. Settle in for peaceful evening meals back at the agroturismo's outdoor restaurant after your sunset yoga session each day – there will be a variety of options which change daily, but the dishes on offer will always utilise local produce, many of which are grown on the grounds of the agroturismo using organic methods. Mediterranean-style dishes will lead the way, with fresh seafood and vegetables washed down with local wines.
Vegetarians, vegans and other dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for – please just request this on your passenger info form.

We’re still waiting to collect any reviews from other travellers on this trip. However, all our hosts go through an extensive vetting process to ensure that your adventure is awesome.
We've crunched the numbers to work out the total carbon footprint of this trip, and plant enough trees to suck 2x as much back out the atmosphere.
What's the number?
It works out on average at 82kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.
The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal for 2023 to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.
But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:
- Driving 1000miles/1609km would be approx. 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person if there was 2 of you in it).
- A return economy class flight London - New York would be approx. 1,619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
- 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approx. 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.
What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. For every person booked with us since 2016 we’re planting enough trees to suck at least 2x more carbon out the atmosphere than is emitted by their trips. All native trees, as part of amazing projects that are re-foresting degraded land, tackling the biodiversity crisis and supporting local communities at the same time. We go further than that too, also funding re-wilding projects worldwide to help protect important keystone species from extinction. See the reforestation and re-wilding schemes we support. See our carbon action plan.
Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.
Anyone with general fitness levels and able to hike for several hours continuously – sometimes on uneven terrain – will be fine on this trip. The elevation gain is fairly sizeable, up to 700m up and down each day, which will get the heart pumping at times to reach the higher points of the Tramuntana. However, the going is steady and the views more than make up for the effort. The yoga sessions are easily manageable and tailored to suit the individual needs within the group. You can simply wait out any of the more difficult postures if necessary, or do an alternative posture as advised by your instructor. The yoga sessions are designed to help you recover from the long hikes as well as to relax and unwind, with a focus on the meditative side of yoga in this tranquil part of Mallorca.
Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.
Tips are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion and are non-compulsory on this trip. Of course, if you feel that your guides provided an exceptional experience then you are welcome to tip as much as you feel is appropriate. You should factor in tipping 10% on top of the bill in any bars and restaurants during the trip.
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.
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), while the average low temperature can range from 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).
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.
We recommend checking out the country specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.
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.
Our recommended travel insurance provider is Campbell Irvine.
Travel insurance is compulsory for all of our adventures and you are required to provide your policy information before departing.
Your insurance should include adequate protection for overseas medical treatment, evacuation/repatriation, your baggage and equipment and the specific activities involved on your adventure. We also strongly recommend it includes cancellation and curtailment insurance, should you be unable to join your trip for specific reasons such as illness.
We fully endorse Campbell Irvine as their insurance offers all of the above, so get in touch with them or call on 020 7938 1734 to get your insurance sorted. We suggest that you book travel insurance as soon as you book your adventure, just to cover you for any last-minute life changes. We know you’re an active lot and injuries do happen!
We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.
If you wish to change the currency you pay in, head to the bottom of the page.
All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy (18+) as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. Children can be accommodated on some private departures.
You're in good company. Our adventures are typically made up of a mix of solo travellers and small groups of two or three friends who simply love adventure, pushing themselves and meeting awesome like-minded people. See here for more info about our lovely bunch of Much Better Adventurers.
