Did you know that you can also admire Mallorca from the air? From this perspective, you’ll see the island as if it were a natural work of art: mountains, stone villages, hidden coves, and the blue Mediterranean.

Seeing Mallorca from the air is experiencing it in a completely different way. At ROIG, we offer you this experience aboard a helicopter or in a hot air balloon—two options that allow you to contemplate the island in a way that’s impossible from solid ground.

The best part? You can book any of these activities directly on our website, along with your car rental or private transfer, to easily get to the takeoff point. Are you ready to take on this fascinating adventure?

Helicopter flight over the Bay of Palma

A helicopter ride over Mallorca is the most exclusive way to discover the island from an aerial perspective. After a brief safety briefing, you’ll settle into your seat, the rotors start spinning, and in seconds, you’ll be soaring over the southern coastline. Below you, the marina, yachts, and the turquoise hues of the sea will welcome you to your aerial adventure.

This activity is led by experienced and certified pilots, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and guided tour throughout. Your guide will point out the main landmarks and explain the history and curiosities of the places you’ll see from the sky.

You can choose from 30, 45, or 60-minute flights, adjusting the experience to your time and your sense of adventure.

What you’ll see from the air: The Cathedral, the port, and the southern coast

During the helicopter flight, you’ll have the chance to admire some of Mallorca’s most famous landscapes. From the air, everything takes on a new dimension:

• The Palma Cathedral, known as La Seu, stands out as a gothic giant by the sea, surrounded by the city’s ancient walls.
• Nearby, the Almudaina Palace, Bellver Castle, and the expansive seafront promenade create a spectacular panorama.
• Heading east along the coastline, you’ll see famous beaches like Cala Major, Es Trenc, or Cala Pi, with their turquoise waters and white sands that seem out of this world. On clearer days, you may even spot the island of Cabrera, a small, protected natural archipelago.

The helicopter offers the advantage of getting close to mountains and cliffs inaccessible by road, making every flight a unique visual experience.

Tips to make the most of the sunrise or sunset flight experience

Light changes everything, and in Mallorca, both sunrises and sunsets are a pure spectacle. If you can choose your flight time, we recommend booking during the early morning or late afternoon.

In the morning, the calm air and golden tones of the rising sun create a magical atmosphere. The shadows are soft, and the sea’s colors take on a special glow.

At sunset, the island is bathed in warm tones—ochres, pinks, and oranges—and the horizon stretches into infinity.

Dress lightly and bring sunglasses if flying during the day, or a light jacket if your flight coincides with sunset. Don’t forget your camera or phone with a full battery—photos from the air will be some of the most memorable of your trip.

Hot air balloon flight over the villages of the Sierra

If you’re looking for a more relaxed and romantic experience, flying in a hot air balloon over Mallorca is one of the most special activities you can experience on the island. Unlike a helicopter, the balloon rises slowly and quietly, allowing you to savor each moment without rush.

The adventure begins at dawn, and you’ll participate in the balloon’s inflation alongside the pilots. Watching the fabric inflate and rise is part of the magic. When the burner breaks the silence and the balloon gently lifts off, a truly unforgettable experience begins.

From the air, you’ll witness charming villages, almond orchards, country estates, and mountains stretching to the sea. If the day is clear, you may spot Cabrera or even Menorca in the distance.

During the flight, everything slows down—no wind, no noise, just the sensation of floating over the island as the sun gradually lights up the landscape.

Flight Details

Book your hot air balloon flight in Mallorca with ROIG and discover why this experience is considered one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.

Recommended routes: Sóller, Deià, and Valldemossa from the heights

Flying over the Sierra de Tramuntana, the view becomes truly spectacular. The mountains merge with the sea, and the villages nestled in the valleys showcase their traditional and rural beauty.
From either the balloon or the helicopter, you’ll be able to see three of the island’s most iconic spots:

• Sóller, with its orange valley and natural port.
• Deià, a small artist village perched above the sea.
• Valldemossa, where stone houses and the monastery blend into the landscape. 

Each of these places, viewed from the air, offers a fresh and breathtaking perspective of Mallorca. It’s one of the best experiences on the island for capturing unforgettable images and seeing Mallorca from another angle.

Hot air balloon flight between vineyards and almond orchards

Another very popular route is over the island’s interior, known as Es Pla. From the air, you’ll see vineyards, olive groves, windmills, and small villages that retain their rural charm.

In February and March, the landscape turns white and pink with the blooming of almond trees, creating a natural spectacle that can only be truly appreciated from above.

This area is also perfect for more tranquil flights, with stable weather conditions and expansive views stretching into the horizon. Upon landing, many experiences include a small toast or countryside breakfast to celebrate the flight.

Morning experience with panoramic island views

Hot air balloon flights typically begin early, when the wind is gentler and the air more stable. This ensures a safe, serene, and visually stunning experience.

The descent is as gentle as the ascent. After landing, the pilots share interesting facts about the flight and the tradition of ballooning, which dates back centuries. Many travelers agree that this experience becomes one of the highlights of their Mallorca trip.

Tips to make the most of the experience

To make the most of these activities in Mallorca, here are some tips:

• Arrive early: Flights often begin early, so arriving 15–20 minutes in advance will allow you to enjoy the preparation process.
• Dress comfortably: Wear closed shoes and a cap for protection from the burner’s heat.
• Avoid strong perfumes or scented creams, as the space in the balloon is limited.
• Bring a camera or phone with a good battery; photos from the air are stunning.
• Don’t worry about the cold: inside the balloon, the temperature is similar to the ground, thanks to the hot air.
• Check the weather: Flights depend on wind and visibility. If canceled for safety, they are rescheduled at no cost.
