A week long sailing holiday around Mallorca featuring relaxed island hopping, turquoise bays, scenic anchorages, charming harbours and coastal navigation along the Balearic Islands.
This sailing itinerary explores Mallorca from the sea, revealing a quieter and more natural side of the Balearic Islands. Starting from Palma, the route combines sheltered bays, lively marina towns, protected natural parks and stretches of open water shaped by the thermal winds that make this area ideal for a sailing holiday in the Mediterranean.
The journey mixes active sailing with time to swim, snorkel and enjoy life on board. Along the coast, dramatic cliffs of the Tramuntana mountains alternate with hidden coves, sandy beaches and small fishing villages. Depending on weather conditions and wind direction, the itinerary may follow the southwest coast toward Cabrera and the southern beaches or continue toward quieter anchorages along the eastern coastline.
Days on board follow a relaxed rhythm with breakfast in calm bays, short to medium sailing passages and evenings spent either at anchor or in traditional harbour towns. The atmosphere is social but informal, suited to travellers who enjoy both navigation and time ashore. Mallorca’s coastline offers ideal conditions for island hopping with moderate winds, clear waters and short distances between anchorages.
Itinerary
Day1
Palma de Mallorca Embarkation
Arrival at Marina La Lonja in Palma during the afternoon, with boarding usually starting around 17:00. After settling into the cabins and meeting the skipper and crew, there is time for provisioning and a short briefing about the route and onboard life. Depending on arrival time and weather, the yacht may leave the marina for a short sunset sail inside the Bay of Palma or spend the first evening in the harbour surrounded by the historic atmosphere of the old city.
Day2
Palma to Sa Dragonera and Port d’Andratx
The first full sailing day heads southwest along Mallorca’s coast toward the protected island of Sa Dragonera. The route covers approximately 20 nautical miles with opportunities for swimming and snorkeling in clear water near the natural reserve. After lunch at anchor, the yacht continues toward Port d’Andratx, one of the island’s most scenic harbours, known for its waterfront restaurants and relaxed evening atmosphere.
Day3
Coastal Sailing Along the Tramuntana Coast
Navigation continues north along the dramatic coastline shaped by the Tramuntana mountains. Steep cliffs, pine covered slopes and isolated coves create one of the most impressive sailing areas in the Balearics. After around 25 nautical miles, the yacht reaches Cala Deià or Port de Sóller depending on sea conditions. The afternoon is dedicated to swimming, paddleboarding or exploring ashore.
Day4
Crossing Toward Cabrera National Park
A longer sailing leg of approximately 30 nautical miles leads south toward the protected island of Cabrera. This marine reserve is known for crystal clear water, rocky landscapes and limited visitor access. Mooring buoys preserve the fragile environment and create a peaceful atmosphere far from the busier parts of Mallorca. Guests can snorkel, hike to the old fortress or simply enjoy a quiet evening under the stars.
Day5
Cabrera to Es Trenc and Sa Rápita
After breakfast, the yacht sails toward Mallorca’s southern coastline and the famous Es Trenc beach area. The route is shorter today, around 15 nautical miles, allowing plenty of time for swimming in shallow turquoise water. The fishing village of Sa Rápita offers a relaxed stop for the evening with local seafood restaurants and a slower pace compared to Palma’s marinas.
Day6
Cala Pi and the Southeast Coast
The itinerary continues eastward toward Cala Pi and nearby coves hidden between limestone cliffs. Sailing distances remain moderate at around 18 nautical miles. The day alternates between short navigation periods and extended stops for snorkeling, cliff jumping or relaxing on deck. In the evening, the yacht anchors in a quiet bay where the crew can enjoy dinner onboard.
Day7
Cala Sa Nau,Coastal Island Hopping and Return to Palma
The final full day explores the southeastern coastline, including Cala Sa Nau, one of Mallorca’s most beautiful natural coves. The bay is known for transparent water and excellent snorkeling conditions. After lunch at anchor, the yacht begins its gradual return toward Palma with a final overnight stop in a marina or sheltered anchorage depending on conditions. A relaxed morning sail brings the yacht back to Palma and Marina La Lonja. After breakfast onboard and final farewells with the crew, disembarkation takes place around 09:00.
