7. Fun Activities and Cultural Opportunities
Mallorca is filled with fun activities for sports enthusiasts, culture seekers, and beach lovers. Even though the island is the largest of the Balearic islands, it is still relatively small.

There are various natural parks and nature reserves that are protected areas of incredible natural beauty. Activities for you and your guests could include walking, hiking and wildlife observation.
If you or your guests are water lovers, you also have a lot to enjoy. These include scuba diving and snorkeling, waterskiing and jet skiing, sailing, kitesurfing, paddle boarding and kayaking.
Nature lovers could also explore the Serra Tramuntana which is the most important mountain range in Mallorca.

The beautiful melange of mountains, valleys, and forests combined with historic towns and villages harmoniously contribute to the exceptional mountain range. You and your guests could enjoy a day exploring parts of the extraordinary mountain range and bask in the amazing panoramic views.
For the culture lovers, there’s also a rich history all over the island, from the Chopin Museum in Valldemossa to the famous cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma.
An experienced wedding planner could help organize day-time trips that are interesting for you and your guests throughout your stay before and after the wedding.
