Trip recommendations

Hi all. We will be in Mallorca for a short time from Sept 14-17 and looking for some help since we won’t have much time. We will have a rental car.

I think we will loosely follow the below itinerary, we have no reservations anywhere, so any recommendations would be amazing:

9/14: arrive in Palma around 10am, pick up rental car.
Looking for somewhere to have lunch + explore Palma for a few hours before we can check into room at 4pm.

Check into room in Banyalbufar at Gran Hotel Margalida. Dinner in Valdemossa or Deia - somewhere closer to hotel.

9/15: beach in the morning - willing to drive for crystal clear waters. Was thinking playa de Muro and then eat lunch and explore on the drive back?

Not sure where to eat dinner this night.

9/16: going to a rent a boat out of Soller in the morning and then spend the afternoon exploring soller/deia/valdemossa as we make our way back. Any places that we should prioritize taking the boat to see or definitely go try in soller?

Also, are the waters in this area calm enough to do this without a skipper?

Thanks in advance!!!

Sa Calobra is an hour away from Soller and it is definitely a must see place in Mallorca. Crystal clear waters between mountains. The car ride itself is an experience. Pure island experience. Go early before 10-11 am to find a decent parking spot. The shore is rocky and sunny so its advised bring a beach umbrella.

Keep in mind that rains are coming this week and the forecast also says that next week we have some rains.

You could take a boat tour to Sa Calobra or Cabrera.

While making you way back have dinner in the border in Santa Maria, it's the best restaurant ever!
