GR221 Mallorca Hike – 6 Stages in 3-star Hotels

Arrival in Banyalbufar

The tour begins in Banyalbufar, one of the most picturesque villages in the Serra de Tramuntana, nestled among terraced fields and overlooking the Mediterranean.

You’ll need to go to the accommodation assigned in your reservation. Once you’ve settled in, you’ll have the rest of the day free to explore Banyalbufar and get ready to start your GR221 Mallorca hike the next day.

Estellencs – Esporles

In the morning, a shuttle will take you from Banyalbufar to Estellencs, the starting point of the first stage of your GR221 hike.

From here, you’ll hike approximately 10 km to Esporles, following trails through pine forests and enjoying various views of the coast and the Serra de Tramuntana.

At the end of the stage in Esporles, a shuttle will take you back to Banyalbufar, where you’ll spend a second night. Since you’ll be returning to the same lodging, you can leave your luggage there for the duration of the hike.

Esporles – Valldemossa

A shuttle will take you to Esporles, where you’ll begin the second stage. Starting today, your luggage will be transported between accommodations, so you’ll only need to carry your daypack.

The route winds through holm oak forests and passes by old charcoal and lime kilns before reaching Valldemossa, one of the best-known villages in the Serra de Tramuntana.

Once there, you’ll have free time to explore its streets and some of its most iconic sites, such as the Royal Charterhouse and King Sancho’s Palace.

Deià – Sóller

In the morning, a shuttle will take you from Valldemossa to Deià, where the third stage of the route begins.

This will be one of the easiest days of the trip. You’ll follow the Camí des Pintors toward Sóller, walking along ancient paths that historically connected the two towns and enjoying different views of the coast.

Upon arriving in Sóller, you’ll have the rest of the day free to explore the town and rest before continuing the journey.

Sóller – Barranc de Biniaraix – Tossals Verds

Today marks the start of one of the most demanding stages of the route. Since it is not possible to reach the Tossals Verds Mountain Hut by car, you’ll need to carry everything you need to spend the night with you. The rest of your luggage will be transported to your next lodging.

The route climbs up the Barranc de Biniaraix, one of the most iconic landscapes of the Serra de Tramuntana, following its cobblestone paths between stone walls, vegetation, and mountains.

You’ll continue climbing to the Coll de l’Ofre area, where you’ll be able to admire the Cúber Reservoir and the surrounding mountains. You’ll then continue on to Tossals Verds, where you’ll spend the night.

Tossals Verds – Sanctuary of Lluc

After leaving Tossals Verds, you’ll begin one of the most spectacular mountain stages of the trek. The route climbs through forests and rocky terrain toward the Massanella area and continues on to Coll des Prat.

From here, you’ll begin the descent along dry-stone paths and through holm oak forests until you reach the Santuari de Lluc, one of Mallorca’s most iconic sites. You’ll spend the night there and retrieve the luggage you left before the Tossals Verds stage.

Santuari de Lluc – Pollença

You’ll begin the final stage of the GR221 Mallorca by leaving the Sanctuary of Lluc behind and heading along forest trails and paths toward Pollença.

After passing through the Binifaldó area, you’ll continue mainly downhill until you reach Pollença, where the six stages of the hike will come to an end.

You’ll have the rest of the day free to explore the historic center, the Plaza Mayor, or climb the 365 steps of the Calvari.

End of the tour in Pollença

After seven nights and six stages exploring the Serra de Tramuntana, your adventure along the Ruta de Pedra en Sec comes to an end.

After breakfast and check-out, the services included in the tour will conclude.
