Puig de na Penyal
Puig de na Penyal is a hiking spot in Son Servera, Mallorca, with the trailhead by the Bella Vista tennis courts or the Panoramic Bar parking area. From the tennis area, the summit takes 20–30 minutes one way and about 1 hour for a round trip; from Cala Millor it is around 9 km or roughly 2 hours at a relaxed pace. The path is rocky, and the last 600 m are very steep. Sturdy shoes, water and careful route-finding are needed, as the entrance is poorly signed. The cave turn-off is by a wooden post.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the correct trailhead for the Puig de na Penyal hike?
The most commonly mentioned starting point is by the tennis courts, often referred to as Bella Vista Tennis Club in Son Servera. Several visitors note that Google Maps can lead you the wrong way, so it is worth looking for the parking area near the tennis facilities or the panoramic bar/restaurant. From there, the summit is usually about 20–30 minutes away on foot.
How long does it take to hike Puig de na Penyal?
Many visitors report around 20–30 minutes each way from the tennis courts to the summit. A round trip of about 1 hour is also mentioned frequently. From Cala Millor, some reviews mention roughly 30–40 minutes to the start point, while others describe a 9 km walk taking about 2 hours at a relaxed pace.
How difficult is the route and what footwear is recommended?
The route is described in reviews as rocky, narrow and partly overgrown. Several visitors recommend sturdy hiking shoes or trainers; sandals or flip-flops are not suitable. The last section is sometimes described as very steep, and the descent is often reported to be more slippery than the ascent.
Is the Puig de na Penyal route suitable for children or older visitors?
Several reviews describe this as a short but demanding walk. Because the path is steep, rocky and partly overgrown, it is not presented by all visitors as suitable for small children, older people or anyone with limited mobility. If you go, plan for around 150 metres of elevation gain and some narrow sections.
How do you find the cave at Puig de na Penyal?
Several visitors mention a turn-off at or near a wooden post or signpost, usually by turning right. The cave lies below the summit and is often described as a worthwhile short detour. Because the turn-off is easy to miss, it helps to watch for the marker along the path.
Is parking available at Puig de na Penyal?
Reviews most often mention parking near the tennis courts, Bella Vista Tennis Club and the Panoramic Bar/Restaurant. Many people start the walk from there. Some visitors also note that water was available at the tennis school parking area for €2 per 1.5 litres.
What should you bring for the hike?
Several reviews recommend at least 1 to 1.5 litres of water per person, especially in summer. Sun protection is also useful, as the route is often exposed and warm, together with sturdy shoes for the rocky ground. If you go in hot weather, it is sensible to allow more time than the usual 20–30 minutes to the summit.
