You may think that Mallorca is already an unbeatable destination to visit, but as soon as you rediscover it from a hot air balloon you will reaffirm your belief. This exotic island of the Balearic archipelago with its mesmerizing waters, its natural surroundings seen while enjoying a hot air balloon ride is fascinating for anyone, that's why we want this to be the next experience you start planning.

You won't find too many locations to go ballooning in Mallorca, but the ones you do find will be enough to show you what you must see of this island.

What are the best ballooning areas in Mallorca?

- You can fly in a hot air balloon over the capital itself, Palma de Mallorca, as you read! Flying in a hot air balloon will not only be a spectacular experience, but you will find very few places you can fly over a city due to the current air traffic restrictions. You'll take a spectacular sightseeing tour of very iconic places as the cathedral of La Seu, the Almudaina Palace, the Bellver Castle and the Es Baluard Museum of Contemporary Art, and not only of the city, but also of the unmistakable Mallorcan side of the Mediterranean.

- A balloon flight over Cala Rajada is one of the most spectacular ways to discover the island. This secluded and beautiful fishing village in the northeast corner of the island is home to an infinite number of balloon flight tours that you must try. You will enjoy the most beautiful beaches of Mallorca in the best possible way, you will be able to discover its coastline as you were looking for, flying over coves such as Cala Águila or Platja de Ses Cavasses or passing by the Capdepera lighthouse and enjoying a "film-like" spot: a beautiful lighthouse on the edge of a cliff dotted with bright green bushes. But you will also leave Puerto Cristo and the beautiful villages of Arta and Cala Millor in the balloon's wake.

- If you were looking to explore the largest mountain range in Mallorca in an unconventional way, a hot-air balloon flight over the mountains of Sierra Tramontana is the ideal plan you've been looking for. Discovering the highest peaks of the island while flying in a hot-air balloon is a spectacle that everyone should try at least once in their life. A paradise for lovers of nature, contrasting landscapes and adventure.

The vast majority of hot-air balloon flights are designed to the last detail and although some flights are also accompanied by breakfast or lunch afterwards, the final ceremony in which you will toast to the adventure you will have just experienced over Mallorca with some traditional sparkling cava is a classic that is never missed.

It is important to know that most balloon flights take place first thing in the morning and, even if the notion of having to get up early on a day of leisure is a bit off-putting, we assure you that it is well worth it. As well as being necessary due to the weather conditions, it is a real pleasure to contemplate the first rays of daylight from hundreds of metres above the ground. There will be no dawn like this one. Are you going to miss it?
