Getting around

You can get away without a rental car on Mallorca as the bus network is well-developed and connects practically all parts of the island. However, if you aim to visit more remote places away from tourism, a rental car is advisable. These are available at the airport and in all major towns. This way you can explore the hidden beaches and the many small, charming villages scattered across the island.

What else do we love about Mallorca? That it’s so easy to reach. Palma de Mallorca airport offers various transport options to centers like Palma or Cala Ratjada. Besides shuttle buses and taxis, buses run regularly from the airport to the hotspots.
