Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Marbella
You land in Málaga, and we’ll whisk you to Marbella, about 45 minutes away. Check into a sleek hotel right by the beach—think infinity pools and sea views. Tonight’s a relaxed welcome dinner at a beachfront restaurant, with plates of grilled sardines and a glass of crisp white wine. Your guide will walk you through the week’s plan over dessert—maybe some flan. Stroll the promenade after or crash early to beat jet lag.
Day 2: Marbella’s Beach and Old Town
Start with breakfast on the hotel terrace, then hit the beach for some morning sun—golden sand, calm waves, perfect vibes. Your guide leads a short walk into Marbella’s old town, all whitewashed walls and orange trees. Check out Plaza de los Naranjos and poke around little shops. Lunch is at a chiringuito (beach bar), serving up fresh paella with prawns. Afternoon’s free—lounge by the pool or rent a paddleboard. Dinner’s on your own; we’ll point you to a spot for local espeto (skewered fish).
Day 3: Sierra Blanca Hike
After coffee and pastries, we head to the Sierra Blanca for a guided hike—about 2-3 hours, nothing too crazy, with epic views of the coast. Your guide shares bits about the local flora and maybe spots a mountain goat. Lunch is at a rustic mountain tavern, think hearty migas or grilled lamb. Back in Marbella, the afternoon’s yours—hit the beach or nap in a hammock. Evening brings a beachfront dinner, included, with dishes like gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) and sangria to sip.
Day 4: Yacht Excursion and Costa del Sol
Today’s a treat: a private yacht excursion along the Costa del Sol. Sail from Marbella’s marina, soaking in views of the coast and maybe spotting dolphins. Stop for a swim in a quiet cove, with snacks and drinks on board. Lunch is back on land at a seaside restaurant—think calamari and rosé. Afternoon’s free to relax or explore Marbella’s glitzy Puerto Banús marina. Dinner’s on your own; we’ll suggest a spot for something fancy or low-key, your call.
Day 5: Flight to Mallorca
Morning transfer to Málaga airport for a quick flight to Palma de Mallorca (about 1.5 hours). Check into a boutique hotel near the sea, with breezy balconies. Afternoon’s for a guided tour of Palma’s old town, including the massive Gothic cathedral—its rose window is unreal. Your guide shares stories of Mallorca’s pirate-filled past. Lunch is at a local spot, maybe with tumbet (veggie casserole). Evening’s free—grab dinner at a tapas bar or wander the Passeig des Born.
Day 6: Mallorca’s Beaches and Villages
After breakfast, head to a pristine beach like Cala Mesquida—turquoise water, soft sand, pure bliss. Spend the morning swimming or just chilling under an umbrella. Lunch is at a nearby chiringuito, serving seafood paella that’s out of this world. Afternoon’s for a guided visit to a hilltop village like Valldemossa, with stone streets and old monasteries. Your guide throws in some local history. Dinner’s included at a beachfront spot in Palma, think grilled fish and Mallorcan wine.
Day 7: Coastal Exploration and Farewell
Morning’s for a guided coastal drive along Mallorca’s northwest, stopping at spots like Sa Calobra for dramatic cliffs and clear waters. Your guide points out hidden coves and shares island tales. Lunch is at a seaside tavern—maybe sobrasada (spicy sausage) or ensaïmada for dessert. Afternoon’s free back in Palma—shop for pearls or relax at the hotel spa. Tonight’s a big farewell dinner at a rooftop restaurant, with a spread of Mallorcan dishes like lechona (roast suckling pig) and plenty of wine.
Day 8: Departure
After a lazy breakfast—try some Mallorcan sobrasada on toast—we’ll get you to Palma’s airport. If you’ve got time, sneak in a quick coffee at a plaza café. You’re leaving with a tan, a full stomach, and maybe a bottle of local wine in your bag.
