Day 1: From Palma to Es Trenc
Arriving in the beautiful city of Palma, where this journey begins, is a breeze. Spain's third-largest international airport is located there, so you have plenty of options in terms of flights. Once arrived and witnessing the perfect summer weather we all dream of, you can board and sail south-west towards Cabo Blanco.
This is our first destination where you can enjoy the view of the beautiful cliffs and open the swimming season by diving right in. Nearby, you will also find Cala Pi, another place where you can enjoy swimming. And that's not all, as S ‘Estanyol and Sa Rápita await you. Es Trenc beach will be the last stop of the day, and there you can enjoy a relaxing night under the stars with a drink and the dark-green pine forests around you.
Day 2: From Es Trenc to Porto Colom
It's time to leave beautiful Es Trenc and sail towards Cabo Salinas and Cabrera National Park. This unique park, whose natural harbour is crowned by a castle. From here, you can also explore Majorca's west coast with its many coves where you can swim and anchor.
You can also choose to go directly to the natural park of Cala Mondragó. There you will find turquoise waters with white sandy bottoms. We recommend Porto Colom for anchoring at night.
Day 3: From Porto Colom to Cala Ratjada
The third day of this Mallorca sailing itinerary takes us to the coast of Porto Cristo. Known as Calas de Mallorca (the coast of bays), this area offers a firm anchorage and crystal clear waters. There is a mix of bars with lively visitors and quiet anchorages. It depends on what you're looking for.
The best place to spend the night here is in Cala Ratjada harbour. The water there is calm, which offers an ideal silence that is perfect for relaxing, getting a good night's sleep and recharging for the next day of adventure.
Day 4: From Cala Ratjada to Cala Formentor
Another day, another fantastic destination. Let's sail through the bays of Alcudia and Pollensa. These places usually generate good thermal winds. The shores and beaches of both bays offer the usual ample choice for anchoring, swimming and tanning under the afternoon sun! Our recommendation to spend the night here is Cala Formentor. The perfect place to dive and explore nature, as most of the wildlife can be seen here.
Day 5: From Cala Formentor to Port de Soller
On day five, you sail through Mallorca's rugged north coast. The places to visit here are Sa Calobra and Torrent de Pareis. Both small authentic and truly charming villages. If you want to get in touch with the real culture and feel of Mallorca, this is the place. The best place to spend the night is in the port of Soller. Here you can dine on board or enjoy one of the fantastic local restaurants.
Day 6: From Port de Soller to Port d'Andratx
We hope you are not yet tired of so much beauty. Because as you sail southwest, you can see all of Cala Deia, Sa Foradada, Port of Valdemosa, Banyalbufar and Estellencs. Maybe it's too much to stop at each place, but the beauty is that you can just pick and choose. They are all beautiful spots, perfect for swimming. The final destination of the day, however, is Dragonera and the port of Andratx. This is the ideal place to spend the night as the anchorage is sheltered and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Majorca.
Day 7: From Port d'Andratx to Palma
On the seventh and final day, you have to return to Palma and hand in your chartered yacht. Don't see this as a bad thing, however, as the return journey also offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy your sailing holiday. On the way back, you can visit the island of Toro and Malgrats, as well as the bay of Santa Ponsa and Playa del Mago. In this bay, the bars are certainly no rarity and the Spanish food they offer is to die for. From here, you can eventually return to the port of Palma and return home full of unforgettable experiences from this Mallorca sailing itinerary and a new relaxed attitude.
