Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca: good to know
Where is the best place to stay in the Serra de Tramuntana?
It depends on the trip. Deià, with Belmond La Residencia, for the classic village and sea views; the Sóller valley, with L'Avenida in town or the Jumeirah above the port, for restaurants and the train; Puigpunyent and Es Capdellà, with Finca Ratxo, Gran Hotel Son Net and Castell Son Claret, for estates close to Palma; Banyalbufar, with Son Bunyola, for seclusion; and Pollença, with Son Brull, for the north.
Do you need a car in the Serra de Tramuntana?
For almost everything, yes: the villages are spread along the slow Ma-10 and most hotels sit outside them. Sóller is the exception — it is walkable, the historic train runs there from Palma, and a tram goes down to the port.
When is the best time to visit the Tramuntana?
April to June and September to October. Summer is hot and the villages are crowded; winter is good walking weather, but some hotels close for the season, so check opening dates before you plan around one.
Can you walk between villages in the Tramuntana?
Yes. The GR 221, the Dry Stone Route, crosses the range on old mule paths, and the stretch between Deià and Sóller is one of the island's most popular day walks.
How far is the Serra de Tramuntana from Palma?
Puigpunyent and Es Capdellà are around 20–30 minutes away, Valldemossa and Sóller around half an hour, Deià around 40 minutes, and Pollença under an hour by motorway. The mountain road between villages is slower than the distances suggest.
