Walk on Mallorca with your dog, right from your holiday home

Mallorca is an island of contrasts: vast beaches, quiet villages, green valleys, and rugged cliffs. For dog lovers, this means a new adventure every day. The best part? Often, you don’t even need to go beyond the doorstep of your holiday home. Whether you choose a villa, a holiday house, or a cozy cottage, Mallorca offers countless dog-friendly accommodations where the most beautiful walks start right outside your door. Here, you’ll discover five walks you can enjoy with your dog — all just a short distance from where you’re staying.

Andratx is located in the southwest of Mallorca, at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains. The village itself is charming and peaceful, but the real treasure lies just beyond: hilly walking trails that offer stunning views over both sea and mountains.

For dogs, the paths are easy to follow and pleasantly quiet, often shaded by pine forests. Depending on your energy, you can choose a short circular walk or a longer hike towards the coast.

➡️ Evening tip: Take a stroll towards Port d’Andratx. Your dog will enjoy sniffing along the promenade while you take in the marina and the cozy terraces.

➡️ Did you know? Cala Blanca in Andratx is one of Mallorca’s official dog-friendly beaches. Dogs are welcome here all year round. Just make sure your dog stays under control and that you keep the area clean. The bay is small and a bit rugged to access, but that’s exactly what makes it ideal for a peaceful beach walk with your four-legged friend.

👉 From a dog-friendly holiday villa in Andratx, you’ll find yourself surrounded by this landscape within minutes.

On Sundays, Pollença bursts with energy. The village square fills with market stalls, music, and the aromas of fresh fruit, cheese, and herbs. Your dog will be fascinated, sniffing curiously between the stalls. It’s a lively walk where scents and sounds blend together.

As soon as you turn into the side streets, tranquility returns. Narrow alleys with old stone houses, stairways that wind upward, and small courtyards where locals start their day. The contrast between the bustling market and the peaceful backstreets makes this a truly unique experience. Many terraces are dog-friendly and will happily put out a bowl of water for your companion. It’s the perfect opportunity to take a break and enjoy a coffee or a freshly squeezed orange juice yourself.

➡️ Tip: Go early in the day — it’s cooler, quieter, and you’ll have plenty of space to stroll with your dog.

👉 Stay in a holiday home in Pollença and you’ll be right at the market in no time.

Santanyí, in the southeast of Mallorca, exudes a calm and authentic atmosphere. From your accommodation, you can walk straight into the countryside, passing low stone walls and almond orchards. The landscape is open and bright — perfect for dogs who love space and freedom.

The quiet country roads around Santanyí are low in traffic and safe, allowing you to enjoy relaxed walks together. You’ll pass old farmhouses and small vineyards — a completely different side of Mallorca compared to the busy resort areas.

➡️ Tip: On Wednesdays and Saturdays, Santanyí hosts its open-air market. Because it’s entirely outdoors, you can easily stroll through it with your dog.

The coastline of Cala d’Or is a string of hidden calas — small coves with turquoise waters. From your holiday home, you can walk in just a few minutes to the cliffside paths that offer new viewpoints at every turn. The sea breeze, the sound of the waves, and the scent of pine trees make it a complete sensory experience.

The trails are short and easy to follow, making them perfect for a morning or evening walk. Dogs are welcome — provided they’re on a leash — and they’ll love the variety: cliffs to explore and pine-lined paths with constant views of the sea.

➡️ Tip: Bring a camera — at sunset, the cliffs glow orange and pink, creating a stunning backdrop for an evening stroll.

👉 Book a charming holiday home in Cala d’Or and you’ll have the sea and cliffs right at your doorstep.

Mornings in Alcúdia have something magical about them. The wide sandy beach is still empty, with only a few joggers and fishermen around. While you slowly wake up with the scent of the sea in your nose, your dog is already eagerly pulling on the lead. The vastness of the beach brings a feeling of freedom — you keep walking and walking, and the end always seems just a little farther away.

For dogs, this is one of the nicest spots, especially outside the high season. From 1 November to 31 March, dogs are allowed on the beach. In the summer months (April through October), dogs are not permitted on the busy main beaches. If you want to be sure of official dog zones, you can drive a bit farther to Na Patana near Can Picafort — a true dog-friendly beach.

➡️ Tip: Always bring water and a collapsible bowl. Facilities on the beach are scarce, especially if you walk away from the busier areas.

👉 Want to experience this every morning? Choose a holiday home in Alcúdia.

From the wide sandy beaches of Alcúdia to the picturesque hills near Andratx, Mallorca is full of places where you and your dog can enjoy unforgettable moments together. Whether you choose a spacious villa or a cozy holiday home, every day starts right outside your door with a new adventure waiting to happen.
