A cluster of honey-coloured stone houses on a hillside in Mallorca's majestic Sierra de Tramuntana, Orient is perfect for laid-back mountain escapes as a couple or with friends and family. Framed by olive and citrus trees, this restful hamlet invites travellers to immerse themselves the region’s ample natural beauty. There’s a good selection of accommodation options in the area, ranging from intimate hotels to private villas. Expect spectacular views from the best places to stay in Orient: this is a beautiful part of the world.
Although close to bustling Sóller, Orient has retained a real sense of quiet seclusion — perhaps in part due to the steep hairpin bends which lead to the village. Once in Orient, on-foot explorers won’t take long to get their bearings, popping into historic landmarks or a relaxed café. It’s an ideal springboard, however, for more challenging hikes, horse rides and mountain bike excursions in the surrounding Sierra de Tramuntana. Scale the 1093-metre Puig de L'Ofre, trek to the refuge at Tossals Verds, or follow the Puig de la Rateta loop from the Gorg de Cuber.
For a sense of the region’s rich heritage, head to the impressive Monastery of Lluc. Beachgoers, on the other hand, can take day trips to Port de Sóller or craggy Sa Calobra, with its two beaches divided by the Torrent de Pareis. Retreat to your pick of the best places to stay in Orient for delectable regional cuisine with family and friends as the light fades over the mountaintops.
