Orient
07349 Orient, Illes Balears, Spain
Orient is a tiny, traditional mountain hamlet in the Serra de Tramuntana (municipality of Bunyola), set in a quiet valley of almond and olive groves; it offers a genuine rural Mallorcan atmosphere with stone houses and narrow lanes, popular with visitors seeking tranquillity away from the coast.
What Makes It Special
The village serves as a convenient trailhead for several scenic walks in the Tramuntana, notably routes up to Puig de l'Ofre and other ridge paths that reward hikers with panoramic views over the valley and surrounding peaks.
Insider Tips
Visit early in the day or mid‑week to secure the limited parking and enjoy the peace; bring sturdy footwear, water and a light snack because facilities and cafés in the hamlet are few and often open only limited hours.
