Mallorca can be discovered in many ways, but one of the most beautiful is on foot. You don’t need to be an experienced hiker or look for challenging routes to connect with the island. Sometimes, simply following an old stone path, walking through ancient olive groves or catching glimpses of the sea between the pine trees is enough to understand what makes the Serra de Tramuntana so special.
Some of Mallorca’s most beautiful and accessible hiking trails begin in Sóller. Peaceful routes filled with scenery and history, inviting you to experience the island at a different pace.
And at the end of the trail, returning to Hotel Es Port always feels especially rewarding.
Hiking routes around Sóller and nearby areas
Camí de Castelló: walking between olive trees and the sea
The Camí de Castelló is one of those routes that perfectly captures the essence of the Tramuntana. It connects Sóller and Deià through an old cobbled path surrounded by olive trees, dry-stone walls and open views of the Mediterranean.
It’s an easy walk, perfect for taking slowly, stopping from time to time to admire the landscape or simply listen to the silence.
Along the way, you’ll come across small stone houses, agricultural terraces and corners that seem frozen in time. A walk measured not in kilometres, but in sensations.
The Barranc de Biniaraix: history carved in stone
Talking about hiking in Sóller also means talking about the Barranc de Biniaraix, one of Mallorca’s most impressive historic trails. Although the full climb can be longer, there are accessible sections for those who simply want to enjoy the surroundings without completing the entire route. The path crosses terraces, streams and thousands of stones carefully placed by hand centuries ago.
Walking here is also a way of walking through the island’s history.
Each turn reveals a new mountain view, while the sound of water and vegetation accompanies the journey.
Routes to enjoy, not to rush
The beauty of hiking in Mallorca is not about arriving quickly. It’s about the journey itself.
That’s why many of the routes around Sóller are best enjoyed slowly, adapting the pace to each person. There are coastal paths, trails between orchards and short excursions that combine sea and mountains without requiring technical experience.
Spring and autumn are especially pleasant seasons to explore them: mild temperatures, green landscapes and a calm atmosphere that completely changes the experience.
Hotel Es Port: the balance between movement and rest
After a day of walking, returning to the hotel becomes part of the experience.
At Hotel Es Port, relaxation continues among gardens, terraces and spaces designed to help you slow down again. The outdoor pool invites you to unwind in the sun, while the indoor pool and wellness area offer calm at any time of the year.
Many guests combine hiking routes with a massage, a spa treatment or a peaceful afternoon in the wellness area. Others prefer ending the day with a Mediterranean dinner at Sa Figuera, enjoying local flavours and seasonal ingredients.
That balance between nature, movement and wellbeing is part of what makes the experience so special.
Discovering Mallorca step by step
The Serra de Tramuntana doesn’t need extreme challenges to impress. Sometimes, a simple path and a few hours outdoors are enough to create unforgettable memories of the island.
Sóller is one of the best starting points for discovering it: close to the sea, surrounded by mountains and connected to some of Mallorca’s most beautiful landscapes.
And Hotel Es Port, a historic estate in Port de Sóller, is the place you’ll always want to return to after each walk.
Because here, walking and resting are part of the same journey.
