The 14th C Sanctuary in Arta is built on the hill bearing the same name, and dominates the surrounding town.
It is one of the most well recognised landmarks in Mallorca. The views from the top are well worth the 180 step climb.

Close to the town of Santanyi this is a protected area of natural coastal beauty. Local groups fought to protect this area covering 785 hectares from development; it was granted the status of national park in 1992. This is a perfect example of Mallorquin coastline and landscape, rich in bird life and flora. There are several different walking tours to be taken throughout the area.

A major attraction along the east coast is the profusion of caves, a large number of which can be visited. Best known is probably the Cove del Drach (Dragon's Cave) next to Porto Colom, with its subterranean lake. Most caves are spectacular, with some intricate limestone formations and many other features slowly carved by nature from the sandstone. Sound and light shows to classical music are sometimes included, reportedly not to everyone’s taste. The Cuevas de Arta close to Capdepera also boasts enormous caverns and an underground lake. Cuevas del Hams, is also close to Porto Cristo.

The long sandy Es Trenc beach that stretches between Sa Rapita and Colonia San Jordi is rated amongst the best beaches in Mallorca, and is popular especially on weekends.
There are many beautiful Calas and coves along this stretch of coastline.

These two companies offer balloon flights over the eastern part of Mallorca, at a fairly affordable rate.
The views are said to be superb.
