Tour Highlights

Marvel at Caló des Moro - an isolated 40-metre stretch of white-sand beach!
Dive in and explore the sunlit southern coast of one of Spain’s charming Balearic Islands on a luxurious swimming getaway. This Short Escape swimming holiday in Mallorca is the perfect opportunity to take part in some spectacular swims in the warm waters of the Mediterranean. The accommodation for your stay in Mallorca is the Hotel Baluma Porto Petro, located in the heart of Porto Petro, giving you easy access to the shops and restaurants that this harbour town has to offer.
The southeast coast of the Balearic Island of Mallorca is dotted with beautiful coves, bays and inlets which offer up some great swims. This stretch of coastline forms part of the protected Migjorn Marine Reserve, which we’ll have the pleasure of swimming in, as well as part of the Mondrago National Park. From impressive waterside cliffs to secluded beaches, there is no shortage of beautiful sights to see, both above and below the water.
With an average daily air temperature 28°C in June and of 25°C in September and October; the water temperatures hovering above 20°C at these times of the year, Mallorca is the perfect location for early and late season open water swimming. Combine this with the central location in Porto Petro, the classic Mediterranean rooms, plus a choice of restaurants in and around Porto Petro itself, and you have a fantastic spot to escape for those early or late season swims.
Who is this trip for?
The stunning location, small group of 11 swimmers and ease of transfer from the airport to your accommodation make this escape to Mallorca feel seamless - you can even see the boat that you’ll be swimming from on the rooftop terrace of Hotel Baluma.

Swim Trek Mallorca was the experience of a lifetime. The coaches were exceptional by encouraging us when needed and teaching us open water swim techniques. Will definitely go again.
Mariella F, UK- 2017 -
Thank you SwimTrek! I have nothing but the best compliments to you and your team for facilitating such an incredible swim experience. I felt the schedule was perfect - it provided the participants with an ideal balance of group activities, such as the welcome drinks and dinners, while giving us enough free time to explore the island on our own. I can't say enough about the leadership of the guides! We had such a diverse group of swimmers of different abilities and goals for our time in Mallorca. They did such a wonderful job of identifying our strengths and reservations in the vast sea; they lead with confidence and more importantly laughs that sprinkled over the group. I cannot recommend this trip enough!
Josephine P, USA- 2017 -
Absolutely loved my first swim trek experience! Inspirational guides and such a positive new experience. Will never look at a stretch of water now without thinking 'could we swim that?'
Morag, S, UK- 2017 -
This was my first SwimTrek experience. It was truly an unforgettable escape. Definitely quite challenging in places but swimming along the beautifully peaceful Mallorcan coast with just the fishes and good friends for company cannot be beaten. The professionalism of the SwimTrek team meant we had not a care in the world. I will definitely be back for more.
