Car Rental at Palma de Mallorca Airport

Airport travel guide

The largest of the Balearic islands, Mallorca attracts visitors with its stunning Mediterranean beaches and fun nightlife. But while there’s no reason to undermine these two forms of relaxation, the island has plenty of more to offer, especially if you get a rental car to move around freely. These are five of Mallorca’s most intriguing attractions:

• Palma. Located on the island’s southwestern coast, Palma is not only Mallorca’s main city and the location of the airport but also a place with an interesting history. From the stunning Bellver Castle (once the residence of Majorcan kings and later a military prison) to the Gothic Palma Cathedral which took nearly 400 years to finish, there are plenty of impressive buildings to marvel at. Meanwhile, art lovers will no doubt appreciate the Spanish Contemporary Art Museum that houses works of Picasso and Dali and the Joan Miro Foundation, a museum dedicated to the famous painter and sculptor who spent most of his life on the island. Additionally, The Royal Palace of La Almudaina, still an official royal residence, was once an Arabian fort and offers insight into the island's Moorish past.
• Serra de Tramuntana. A surprisingly impressive mountain range taking up much of the northwestern portion of Mallorca, the Serra de Tramuntana is a great destination for a day trip from Palma. The R710 Motorway is one of the most scenic highland drives in all of Spain, and if you’re looking for something more active, you can follow one of the many hiking trails that weave past historic villages, medieval monasteries, and natural landscapes, offering stunning views of the sea below.
• Castle of Capdepera. First built by Romans, then turned into a mosque by Moors, the Castle of Capdepera is a fascinating remnant of the presence of both these cultures’ time in Mallorca. Open to visitors and located near the easternmost point of the island, Capdepera is about a 70-minute drive from Palma. Other interesting attractions near it include the prehistoric settlement of Hospitalet Vell that predates the castle and the Caves of Drach, a fascinating underground lake, and a stalactite system that can be visited by boat.
• Sóller. Being just a few kilometers from the coast, Sóller is known for its views of both the sea below and the stunning mountains that surround it. The agricultural village is known for its lemon and olive groves, as well as historical mansions, and a small, but interesting art museum. The drive from Mallorca Airport to Sóller takes only about 40 minutes.
• Pollença. Located in the northeastern part of the island and bordering the aforementioned Tramuntana range, Pollença is a sleepy little town that comes alive every Sunday when it hosts a lively market. During the rest of the week, visitors can explore landmarks such as the town bridge, the construction of which dates back to Ancient Rome, and the 16th-century Dominican Monastery, now repurposed as a modern art museum. The hills surrounding Pollença have also been marked as an excellent place to watch a total solar eclipse, which will happen on the 12th of August, 2026, at 20:31. The drive from Palma to Pollença takes 50 minutes.
