Your Mallorca adventure starts on board

Your departure: choose between Barcelona or Valencia. During the booking process, you’ll be able to check the available ferry schedules and select the accommodation option that best suits your trip.

• We recommend arriving at the port at least 2 hours before departure.

• Arrival on the island: the ferry arrives in the morning. Please note that hotel check-in will be available from midday onwards.

Information about the ferry company

• The ferry crossing is usually operated by Trasmed.
• However, for operational reasons, the route may also be operated by GNV, another company covering the same route.
• The final ferry operator will be confirmed directly at the port on the day of departure.
• This will not affect your booking or the services included. The ferry company may simply assign the vessel according to operational needs to ensure the crossing operates smoothly.

When does your board basis start?

• If you book a meal plan, it will always begin at the accommodation.
• Please note that meals are not included on the ferry.

Optional extra services

If you're travelling in a cabin...

• Cabins may have 1 or 2 bunks, depending on the booking’s occupancy; they can accommodate up to 4 people and feature a private bathroom with a shower.
• The cabin is private, meaning you’ll only share it with the people in your booking.

Cabin Layout:

• If your booking includes 4 people or fewer, you’ll share a single cabin. * If you’d like to have two cabins, you can contact us here and we’ll check for availability.

S’Arenal, more than sun and sand

Think you know S’Arenal? Think again. Beyond its famous sunsets and lively atmosphere, this corner of Mallorca hides stories waiting to be discovered.

Did you know…?

• You’re walking on history: S’Arenal was shaped by stonemasons who extracted the stone used to build Palma Cathedral, a place born from craftsmanship, not tourism.
• A destination with a twist: Cross a single street and you’re in a different town, the Torrent dels Jueus divides the area between Palma and Llucmajor, two destinations in one.
• A fisherman’s hideaway: For a more authentic side, Es Calonet offers traditional boats and a peaceful setting, just a short stroll from your hotel.

Mallorca is an island made for exploring. Its coastline changes dramatically as you travel around it, from long sandy beaches and sweeping bays to tiny coves, fishing harbours and dramatic cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean. And while its turquoise waters are certainly tempting in summer, Mallorca’s coastal scenery, seaside towns and panoramic routes make it a wonderful destination at almost any time of year.

Make sure you visit:

• The bays of Alcúdia and Pollença: discover the long sandy stretches of Playa de Muro and Alcúdia Beach, as well as the spectacular Formentor peninsula, where mountains and pine forests meet the Mediterranean.
• The northeast and east coast: explore areas such as Artà, Capdepera and Manacor, with beautiful spots including Cala Agulla and Cala Mesquida and plenty of smaller coves dotted along the coastline.
• The southeast coast: one of Mallorca’s most picturesque stretches, home to Cala Mondragó, S’Amarador, Cala Llombards and the striking Caló des Moro. Don’t miss Cala Figuera either, a charming fishing harbour tucked into a narrow inlet.
• The south coast: visit Es Trenc, famous for its long stretch of pale sand, dunes and natural surroundings, and explore the coastline around Colònia de Sant Jordi.
• The Serra de Tramuntana coast: Mallorca at its most dramatic. Mountains plunge towards the Mediterranean, creating spectacular coastal landscapes around Sa Calobra, Cala Tuent and Cala Deià.

Beaches we think you’ll like:

• Playa de Muro: a long, sandy beach on the Bay of Alcúdia, particularly popular with families thanks to its shallow waters.
• Cala Mesquida: surrounded by dunes and Mediterranean vegetation, it has a much wilder feel than Mallorca’s larger resort beaches.
• Cala Mondragó and S’Amarador: two beautiful beaches within the Mondragó Natural Park, surrounded by pine trees and coastal scenery.
• Es Trenc: one of the island’s best-known beaches, with pale sand, clear water and a natural dune landscape.
• Cala Tuent: a quieter pebble beach surrounded by the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana – a completely different side of Mallorca.

Family-friendly activities:

• Take a scenic drive around the island, stopping at coastal viewpoints, lighthouses, beaches and small seaside towns along the way.
• Explore Mallorca’s promenades and harbours on foot and enjoy an easy walk with Mediterranean views.
• Head to Formentor or the Serra de Tramuntana for some of the island’s most impressive coastal scenery and viewpoints.
• When the weather is right, discover the coastline from the water with a boat trip, kayak or paddleboard.
• Pack your snorkel and explore Mallorca’s clear Mediterranean waters, particularly around its smaller coves and rocky stretches of coast.

Make sure you try these local delicacies:

• Pa amb oli: rustic Mallorcan bread served with tomato and olive oil, often accompanied by cheese or cured meats.
• Sobrasada: Mallorca’s famous soft, paprika-seasoned cured sausage.
• Tumbet: a traditional dish made with layers of vegetables such as aubergine, potato and peppers.
• Mallorcan ensaimada: the island’s iconic spiral-shaped pastry, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat.

Make the most of your visit and go to...

• Formentor Peninsula: follow one of Mallorca’s most scenic coastal routes, with dramatic viewpoints, pine-covered landscapes and the Mediterranean stretching out below.
• Cala Figuera: wander around this traditional fishing harbour and see boats and old fishermen’s houses lining its narrow inlets.
• Port de Sóller: enjoy the seaside atmosphere, stroll along the waterfront and admire the mountain scenery surrounding its natural harbour.
• Sa Calobra and Torrent de Pareis: experience one of Mallorca’s most spectacular coastal landscapes, where the rugged Serra de Tramuntana meets the sea.
