The best ways to say goodbye to summer in Mallorca

Tour the Serra de Tramuntana mountains

As summer begins to fade, there’s something irresistible about trading the sea breeze for mountain air — even if only for a few hours. For María and Antonia, there is no place more perfect for this shift than the Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca’s UNESCO World Heritage treasure.

It’s a landscape woven into the Plomer sisters’ own story: a privileged setting where they reconnect with nature, enjoy outdoor sports, revisit beloved villages and soak in the island’s raw, timeless beauty.

What the Plomer sisters consider essential:

• Stroll through mountain villages like Deià, Valldemossa, Fornalutx or Estellencs — cobbled streets, stone houses and sunlit squares that capture Mallorca’s soul.
• Hike between Sant Elm and La Trapa for sweeping views and quiet trails.
• Cycle or wander through the wetlands of Parc S’Albufera, where nature slows to its own rhythm.
• Visit Son Marroig in Deià, once the Mallorcan residence of Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria — a place where history and landscape meet.
• Savour the cuisine at Bens d’Avall in Deià, where traditional flavours and contemporary creativity come together above the sea.
• And of course, end the day with one of those warm, golden September sunsets that leave you speechless — ideally from the Formentor Lighthouse, just as the sisters have done countless times.

Enjoy a final dip in the north of Mallorca

For the Plomer sisters, the north of Mallorca is the ultimate place to bid farewell to summer — the coastline where they grew up, and where their most cherished memories still live. From the Bay of Pollença to the Bay of Alcúdia, this stretch of island is a mosaic of postcard‑perfect coves, long ribbons of white sand, crystal‑clear waters and landscapes that take them straight back to the tender moments of their childhood.

What the Plomer sisters consider essential:

• A sun‑soaked morning at Playa de Muro, recognised as one of Europe’s finest beaches.
• A cultural day trip combining the medieval walls and Roman city of Pollentia in Alcúdia with the Calvari steps and Plaza Mayor in Pollença.
• Discovering Mallorca’s textile heritage at Teixits Vicens in Pollença — a world of hand‑crafted fabrics, bags and traditional designs.
• Ending the day at Numa Beach Club, letting the immensity of the Mediterranean unfold before you.

For the sisters, the north is also the perfect place to savour Mallorca’s most authentic flavours. They recommend stopping at Bodega Can Axartell in Pollença — a beautiful country estate surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and forest — and finishing with Mediterranean cuisine at one of their favourite restaurants in the area, such as the Bistró del Jardín in Port d’Alcúdia.

It’s clear that summer in Mallorca doesn’t disappear when September arrives. The island keeps offering moments — and many more — that invite you to slow down, explore, and create new memories. Maria and Antonia share their favourite ways to enjoy this magical time of year in their guide “Hidden gems of Mallorca, a journey to the heart of the island", a very special gift available for guests staying in the Zafiro Club at Zafiro Palace Andratx and Zafiro Palace Palmanova, and also the Boutique Collection hotels (Son Sabater by Zafiro and Can Ribera by Zafiro).

Because Mallorca always invites you to keep discovering — and September is one of the most perfect moments to do so.
