About This Journey

Journey to Mallorca's captivating east coast, where dramatic underground caverns give way to some of the island's most pristine beaches. This itinerary combines the awe-inspiring Coves del Drach — one of Europe's most spectacular cave systems — with the natural paradise of Cala Mondragó and the charming harbour town of Porto Cristo. The Drach Caves are a subterranean wonderland of stalactites and stalagmites, culminating in Lake Martel, one of the world's largest underground lakes, where a classical music concert performed from illuminated boats creates an unforgettable atmosphere. After emerging from the caves, the itinerary takes you to the unspoiled beaches of the southeast coast, where crystal-clear waters and pine-fringed coves offer the perfect contrast to the underground adventure. This is a day that showcases the extraordinary diversity of Mallorca — from the depths of the earth to the sparkling surface of the Mediterranean.
