Epic Mallorca

Embark in Palma. Then sip Mallorcan citrus cocktails on the cruise to Andratx. Your caption will position off a pastel-paintbox port that tourism forgot. This evening whizz into Mallorca's wildest corner on a Yamaha Grizzly 4x4 quad. Be back in time for dinner on deck. Paella? Sushi? A 10-course tasting menu? Your yacht, your choice.

Wake up to sunshine in Soller; a belle epoque town that’s one big pavement café. Cars are out. Fashion pop-ups and organic gelato bars are in. Hike or bike into citrus groves that made sun-kissed Soller rich. Lunch? Glide to Puerto de Soller beach on a 100-year-old tram. Your charter yacht will be positioned 100m offshore. Swim aboard for treatments and toys. Or we’ll send the tenders to you.

Swim to Sa Calobra Beach at dawn. Towering cliffs part to reveal a sliver of sand. Footsteps will be yours alone. Watersports? Parasols? Ice creams? Only if you bring your own. One final challenge: the twisting tarmac road above Sa Calobra is used by Tour de France training teams. Your Y.CO Charter Specialist can source a high-tech racing bike. Attempt the 4km descent down 26 hairpin bends with a GoPro camera attached.

Today Mallorca goes wild. Cap Formentor is a feral peninsula. Where granite mountains crash headlong into the Mediterranean Sea. SUP to only-by-sea beaches like Cala Bóquer. You’ll have exclusively starfish and wild goats for company. Kayak with pods of leaping dolphins. You’ll be the only person at sea. Indeed, the only civilisation for miles around is aboard your yacht.

Today is all about the sea. Cala Ratjada’s tranquil waters are the venue for aquatic Olympics, hoverboard fails and jetski safaris to lonely sands. Best diving? Below the lighthouse of Punta de Capdepera. Imagine drop-offs alive with amberjack, pipefish, morays and dusky grouper. Best dinner? Cala Ratjada is Mallorca’s top fishing port. Your chef has already sourced a seafood feast.

This morning presents a tricky choice. Play Robinson Crusoe on Cala d’Or, a coastline that translates as ‘golden shore’. Or kayak along the Mondrago Natural Park by way of forest, creeks and secret beach. Your Y.CO Charter Specialist can arrange bikes to tour this 766-hectare natural reserve. Ride with pine martens, hares and hedgehogs through forests of juniper, almonds and figs. You’ve earned that massage back on board.

Wake up and pinch yourself. Cabrera is a 100% private Balearic Island, barely changed in 1,000 years. Stroll for hours without seeing a soul. Swim with Risso’s dolphins and loggerhead turtles. Dive with shoals of black bream, red mullet and luminescent dentex. They’re entirely unafraid of humans. It’s a day in Eden you’ll never forget.

Disembark in Palma. Missing the beach already? We’ll escort you by SUV to Purobeach, a heaven-on-earth beach club that offers spa treatments in Balinese beds beside the sea. Mallorca Airport is seven minutes away.
