Refuges, hostels and camping areas

The Tramuntana mountains are the island’s largest mountain range and natural area and have a high environmental value. In the 90km long mountain range you will find mountain refuges for hikers walking the dry-stone route. The 300km long route crosses the Tramuntana mountains from Port d’Andratx to Pollença. In the towns along the route you will find around ten places to stay for hikers. On the other hand, the Llevant mountains offer nature lovers an unknown and extraordinary beautiful landscape. The Llevant nature park, in the municipality of Artà, is located in the mountains. The park offers a camping area.

In the refuges, there is a choice of private rooms and dorms. The refuges are equipped with toilets, showers and warm water, among other services. This is part of our daily effort to improve the services to our guests. The refuges also have a dining hall and some of them even have a kitchen. You can also stay in huts with less services and comforts, even though most of them have a chimney, tables, chairs and an adapted toilet. You should bring your sleeping bag because there are no beds available.

On the other hand, young, adventurous people can stay at any of the island’s hostels.
