We only work with local guides who know the Serra de Tramuntana intimately, allowing us to craft informed walks and hikes for all tastes. Choose a gentle afternoon stroll through this picturesque landscape and visit its rural villages or set out on an invigorating hike to the top of the Tramuntana\u2019s highest peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are interested in our personalised guided tours through the Tramuntana Mountains, simply tell us what you want to get out of your experience and we will suggest the perfect expedition and accommodation in our luxury villas in Mallorca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer to enjoy your mountain scenery accompanied by a nice glass of merlot, may we suggest our Mallorca wine tours? Many of Mallorca\u2019s finest vineyards and bodegas lie nestled in the eastern flanks of the Serra de Tramuntana, thanks to the location\u2019s admirable vine-growing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the banning of alcohol while the island was under Islamic rule from 902 to 1229 CE, and the damage caused to Mallorcan vines by the phylloxera insect blight of 1891, this Balearic Island has a strong wine-growing culture and past, and a burgeoning reputation in modern times. Today, the island\u2019s vineyards continue to cultivate many local and regional grapes including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Mallorcan wine experience will take you to the spectacular terraced vineyards of the Oloron Winery in Alar\u00f3, which is just a short drive from our renovated eighteenth-century farmhouse Rural. During the tour, you can enjoy exploring the bodega before taking in the breathtaking views of the Serra de Tramuntana on a guided walk. The tour concludes with sumptuous food in Mallorca in the vineyard, paired with local wines produced on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mallorca has attracted artists and writers to its mountains, fincas and beaches for centuries. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin and George Sand stayed in the beautiful mountain village of Valldemossa during the winter of 1838-1839 CE. Here, Sand wrote A Winter in Majorca, describing their time on the island, while Chopin completed his preludes. The famed war poet Robert Graves also found inspiration in Mallorca. He spent his final years in the village of Dei\u00e0, and is buried beneath a cypress tree in the local churchyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the island\u2019s villages, mountains and coves nurture creativity, Mallorca\u2019s artistic heart beats in the historic city of Palma. Ruled over by the Romans, the Moors and the Spanish Kingdom of Aragon in turn, the wealth of historic, architectural and cultural influences in Palma provide a rich fount of inspiration and tradition for local artists and visitors alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps Palma\u2019s most famous \u2018artist in residence\u2019 is the surrealist painter and ceramicist Joan Mir\u00f3. Born in Barcelona, Mir\u00f3 fell in love with Mallorcan Pilar Juncosa – and with Mallorca itself. The couple married in Palma in 1929 CE, and Mir\u00f3 lived in the city from 1956 until his death in 1983. Our guided tour of Palma includes a trip to the Joan Mir\u00f3 Museum, and includes a very special visit to Mir\u00f3\u2019s house and studio. Very little has changed since 1983, thanks to his instruction, \u201cI want everything that I leave behind to stay just as it is when I am gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our tour will also allow you to explore the city\u2019s artistic heart and the influences that keep it beating. From vibrant local markets and gothic cathedrals to tenth-century CE Arabic bathhouses, this Think Experience will show you Palma\u2019s most iconic sites and hidden gems. Visiting current artists\u2019 workshops is a true highlight for art lovers – please contact our team for more information about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mallorca\u2019s diverse natural beauty leaves visitors spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a villa on the island. From beautiful mountain villages to scenic coastal retreats, our collection of villas in Mallorca includes daydream-worthy locations for all tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our favourite villas, perfect for exploring the mountains of Mallorca, is Sa Vista. This villa occupies an unrivalled position on its own headland above Cala Dei\u00e0, offering breath-taking coastal views as well as easy access to our guided tours of the Tramuntana Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nearby, the scenic village of Dei\u00e0 is nestled into the Serra de Tramuntana, just a winding 10-minute drive inland from the beautiful beach of Cala Dei\u00e0. From Sa Vista, visitors can make the journey to the village by car. The town is around 3km from our villa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spectacular Sa Vista is surrounded by a private 25-acre estate and can accommodate 10 guests. The enchanting grounds are a wonderland for nature lovers, filled with Mediterranean pine woods and evergreen coastal maquis.

There are several local firms as well as multinational staples, but once you\u2019ve got your own set of the wheels the entirety of the island is yours to explore! Companies like Europcar<\/a><\/strong>, Hertz<\/a><\/strong> and Avis<\/a><\/strong> all provide services direct from the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deia<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mallorca makes a superb choice for a family holiday.
