Villages to Visit in Mallorca: Discover the Island’s Most Authentic Side

Beyond its world-famous beaches, Mallorca hides a cultural treasure in the form of small rural villages full of history, tradition, and charm. Visiting these villages is a way to connect with the essence of Mallorca, enjoy local gastronomy, and experience a more peaceful and authentic side of the island. Here we tell you which villages you shouldn't miss in Mallorca.

2/2

Valldemossa: Art, History, and Views of the Tramuntana Mountains


Valldemossa is one of Mallorca’s most iconic villages. Located in the heart of the Tramuntana Mountains, it captivates with its stone houses, narrow alleys, and natural surroundings. It is famously known as the refuge of artists like Frédéric Chopin. A perfect destination for a short trip from anywhere on the island.


Fornalutx: Between Mountains and Orange Groves


Repeatedly named the most beautiful village in Spain, Fornalutx feels like a place where time stands still. Its cobbled stairs and houses adorned with bougainvilleas make it ideal for a peaceful stroll. It's very close to Sóller, allowing you to combine both villages in one charming day trip.


Deià: Mallorca’s Bohemian Soul


Small, picturesque, and full of art—this is Deià, a haven for bohemians and artists who have fallen in love with its landscape. Its narrow streets, hilltop church, and views of the sea make it a truly special gem.


Artà: Culture, Nature, and Medieval Charm


Located in the eastern part of the island, Artà is perfect for those seeking history and peace. The castle, the Sanctuary of Sant Salvador, and the historic center are must-sees. It’s also close to virgin beaches and the Llevant Nature Park.


Es Capdellà and Calvià: Near Paguera


From Valentin Reina Paguera Hotel, you can easily access villages like Es Capdellà and Calvià, where you’ll experience authentic Mallorca surrounded by stone houses, family-run restaurants, and countryside views. Ideal for those wanting to explore lesser-known corners, just a short drive away.


Capdepera: Castles, Coves, and Rich History


This walled village boasts one of the best-preserved castles on the island. From there, enjoy panoramic views before heading down to hidden coves like Cala Mesquida or Cala Agulla. A perfect blend of culture and coastline.


Alcúdia and Pollença: Living History in Northern Mallorca


Just minutes from Valentin Playa de Muro Hotel, these two towns are essential stops in the island’s north. Alcúdia is known for its medieval walls and beautifully preserved old town, while Pollença enchants visitors with its Calvari Steps and artistic atmosphere. Both are ideal for half-day excursions.


Santanyí and Felanitx: Near Finca Son Roig


If you're staying at Finca Son Roig in the rural surroundings of Porreres, don’t miss Santanyí—a charming village with a local market, art galleries, and traditional architecture. Felanitx is also worth visiting for its local vibe and excellent Mallorcan cuisine.


Porreres: The Rural Heart of Mallorca


Of course, Porreres itself deserves a special mention. It’s the soul of the island’s interior, where life moves at a traditional pace. From Finca Son Roig, you can easily reach the main square, enjoy the local market, or visit traditional wineries like Sa Cabana.
