On the Beach - MALLORCA TRAIL GUIDE

On the Beach

It’s still an island after all, so if you’re not looking for a brutal mountain run, take in a beautiful tranquil beach. Down in the south, you’ll find Colonia de Saint Jordi, a protected nature reserve.

You’ll’ have just the dunes and the birds for company if you get there early enough. What makes this perfect is that it’s a loop with enough diversity in the terrain to avoid getting sand in your socks. But still: you’re running at the seaside.

Go early before sunrise or late, just before sunset. We’d recommend sunset as you can then get a beer or apertif at the nearby bar.

It’s a 10km loop, starting at the aforementioned hotel then simply follow your nose for 5km, pass around the old building halfway (can’t miss it, it’s the only few buildings you’ll pass) and once back, get yourself a beverage at bar 5illes beach bar and restaurant and enjoy watching the sun sink into the ocean.

CAFÉ TO CASTLE

For those who are staying close or central to the island’s capital, we’ve created a fun loop starting at our store in Plaça del Rosari.

MONASTERY LLUC

Created for those who are willing to spend some time up in the forest and mountains, it follows a section of the GR221 trail.

CAP FORMENTOR

A route with three variants that takes you north all the way up to Cap Formentor for a sublime view.

SÓLLER

A trail run of 11km with gorgeous changes of scenery and terrain with trails that lead from the beach to Sóller.

SA CALOBRA

Sa Calobra is a name most people who know of the island will have heard. So we had no choice but to offer you a trail running alternative.
