A Balloon Ride over Mallorca

Almost all of us have dreamed of flying, one way or another. It is, in fact, one of mankind's oldest dreams. A dream that takes on a very romantic angle when you add the magic of being in a hot air balloon to this incredible feeling of freedom, flying over one of the most beautiful places on the planet: Mallorca.

With the help of our partner – Mallorca Balloons – you can get a bird's eye view of the entire island. It is a unique opportunity to admire those incredibly intense blue hues of its waters, the green of cultivated fields stretching between villages in the interior of the island, and even discover hidden corners and coves that cannot be reached on foot. To one side you will always have the imposing silhouette of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, and on the other, the immense Mediterranean Sea.

What is it like to fly in a hot air balloon?

The real surprise when flying in a balloon is not what you see, but rather what you feel. That sensation of floating, that lightness that fills your chest with an incomparable peace as you glide, driven by the wind.

Those who have tried it agree that it is a wonderful experience that cannot be described in words. An adventure that must be experienced in the first person, at least once in your life. They also say that the flight is even better and more fun if you go with friends or your entire family, and you can book a ride with several hot air balloons at the same time.

All you need to know about your balloon flight

The plan that Zafiro Hotels offers is to take you from any of our hotels on Mallorca to Manacor, at exit 44 off the Palma-Manacor motorway (MA-15) where the Mallorca Balloons launch field is located and where all the balloon flights start.

Waiting for you there are the pilots – among the very best in Europe and many of them world champions – and you can even help prepare the balloons for take-off. The image of this moment is really spectacular, stood in the middle of the field, first thing in the morning, just as dawn is breaking.

Hot air balloon flying on Mallorca is very safe, and suitable for families with children as well (four years or older). All passengers must wear comfortable clothing (sports clothing) and closed shoes with a snug fit. We also recommend that you bring a hat and a bottle of water, to have it at hand during the flight. And, of course: enjoy!

Gift experiences that are tailored to you

You can choose different options for the Balloon Flight Plan that Mallorca Balloons offer all guests staying at Zafiro Hotels: Premium Flight (with more space); Exclusive Flight for Two (for those looking for a romantic trip, watching the sunrise from the balloon); Flight for Four (so you can go with your family), or flights in the afternoon...

Any of them would be a perfect gift for your partner during your honeymoon or for your anniversary, or an unforgettable experience if you decide to share it with your whole family. Remember that you get reduced prices on all trips just for being a guest at Zafiro Hotels.
