Boat trips in Mallorca: discover the southwest from the sea
December 29 2025
Experiences
Discovering Mallorca from the sea means letting the Mediterranean tell you its own story. The southwest of the island, with its sunlit cliffs and hidden coves nestled among pine trees, is one of the most spectacular stretches of the entire Balearic coast. Here, where the blue of the sky blends with the blue of the sea, sailing is not just an activity: it is a sensory experience that combines freedom, silence and pure natural beauty.
Setting off on a route through the Bay of Calvià is the best way to begin. From the ports of Palmanova or Santa Ponça, catamarans depart daily toward secret coves such as Cala Falcó, El Toro or Portals Vells, where the water takes on incredible shades of turquoise and emerald. Some outings include stops for snorkeling or paddle surfing, and others offer meals on board with local products: pan payés, sobrasada or Mallorcan wines that taste even better with the sea breeze.
One of the most iconic routes is the one that leads to Isla Dragonera, , declared a Natural Park in 1995. This small island, about four kilometers long, is separated from Mallorca’s westernmost point by a narrow channel of just 800 meters.
Legend has it that pirates and smugglers once took refuge in its caves, and that its elongated silhouette, resembling a sleeping dragon, gave rise to its name. Today the island is a sanctuary for seabirds and endemic lizards, and it can be explored on foot along several trails leading to old lighthouses and viewpoints with endless sea panoramas.
For the more romantic, the sunset routes are an unforgettable spectacle. For two or three hours, the boats sail gently along the Serra de Tramuntana, , a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Watching the sun set behind its peaks, tinting the sea with golden and pink reflections, is one of those moments that stay in your memory. Many captains even lower the music for a few minutes to let only the sound of the waves and the wind be heard—the true heartbeat of the Mediterranean.
In recent years, a very special experience has also become popular: the boat trips with wine tasting or yoga on board. These excursions, available from ports near Palmanova and Santa Ponça, offer a different way to connect with the sea, whether toasting at sunset or practicing mindfulness on deck with the horizon as your backdrop.
Very close to these departure points is the Reverence Mare Hotel in Palmanova, an Adults Only refuge that combines contemporary design, tranquility and wellbeing by the sea. Its swim-up rooms, its spa with hydrotherapy circuit and its relaxation areas make it the perfect base for those seeking a balance between adventure and disconnection. From the hotel you can walk to the seafront promenade and, within minutes, board an unforgettable boat trip.
In the heart of Santa Ponça, the Reverence Life Hotel offers a serene atmosphere, ideal for those who want to combine sport, nature and rest. Its location makes it easy to access water activities, boat routes and beaches perfect for swimming or paddle surfing. In addition, its holistic wellness philosophy—with spa areas, yoga spaces and healthy cuisine—makes it an ideal destination for travelers seeking to recharge their energy by the Mediterranean.
And for those traveling with family or seeking a more independent stay, the Apartamentos Casa Vida, also in Santa Ponça, offer spaciousness, a fully equipped kitchen and the comfort of a home with all the services of Reverence Hotels within reach.
The essence of all this carries the signature of Reverence Hotels, a Mallorcan hotel chain committed to excellence, sustainability and local authenticity. Each of its establishments reflects the relaxed elegance of the Mediterranean style: spaces where comfort and calm blend with unique experiences.
From maritime routes to mountain escapes, the Reverence team accompanies you so you can discover a different Mallorca—more natural, more authentic, and more yours.
Sailing along the southwest coast of Mallorca with Reverence Hotels is not just an excursion; it is an invitation to let yourself be carried away by the magic of the sea, to discover the island from a new perspective and to experience a Mediterranean that you breathe, taste and feel.
