There's a particular kind of charter guest who lights up at the words "championship course" as much as "hidden cove" — and Mallorca is where that guest gets to have both, in the same week, without ever leaving the boat behind.
This 7-night itinerary blends four rounds of golf at some of the island's finest courses with the cruising, swimming, and sunset-drinks pace of a classic Balearic yacht charter — play, cruise, indulge. You'll play Son Vida, Son Gual, and Alcanada's oceanfront fairways, then unwind in Puerto Portals, Port de Sóller, and the protected waters of Cabrera National Park in between.
Why Mallorca for a Golf & Yacht Charter
Mallorca is one of the only places in the Mediterranean where a serious golf trip and a serious yacht charter genuinely overlap. The island's best courses — Son Vida, Son Gual, and Alcanada among them — sit within a short transfer of Palma's marinas, so a morning tee time and an afternoon swim stop aren't mutually exclusive. Add in the Tramuntana coastline, the Cabrera marine reserve, and Palma's Old Town, and a week here rewards golfers and non-golfers in equal measure.
