Saddle up for a scenic horseback ride to Puig de Sant Martí’s summit, then unwind with a homemade burger at Ranxo Ses Roques in Pollença. A balanced adventure blending nature, rustic charm, and hilltop views awaits.
On the northern tip of Mallorca, the town of Pollença offers a gateway to one of the Balearic Islands’ most captivating outdoor experiences. At Ranxo Ses Roques, riders are invited to mount well-trained horses crafted for all skill levels and journey through rugged terrain toward Puig de Sant Martí’s summit in nearby Alcudia. This 2-hour horseback excursion delivers more than just a ride; it’s an immersive trek through limestone outcrops and pine-scented trails that reveal sweeping vistas of Alcudia Bay. From this vantage point, turquoise waters meet the coastline in a dramatic clash of sea and stone—a visual reward rarely witnessed without effort.
The landscape here is defined by its distinct karst formations and Mediterranean scrub, punctuated with wild rosemary and juniper. This more intimate encounter with the island’s natural character stands apart from the coastal resorts usually associated with Mallorca. After the ride, guests return to Ranxo Ses Roques’ rustic ranch hub, where a homemade burger awaits; a satisfying conclusion that melds adventure with authentic local hospitality.
Ranxo Ses Roques is a standout in Mallorca's outdoor scene by offering accessible equestrian tours that emphasize connection—to the land, local traditions, and animals—without requiring prior experience. Its location near Alcudia's historic cork forests and stone terraces enriches the journey with a cultural undertone, threading together nature and heritage. For anyone seeking a versatile adventure combining active movement with relaxed dining in a strikingly beautiful part of Spain, this experience delivers a genuine taste of Balearic life beyond the crowd.
