Can the route be combined with Cala Deià or other destinations?
Yes, reviews mention a detour to Cala Deià, and also a continuation from the Port de Sóller area towards the lighthouse. The Sóller–Deià section can also be used as part of the GR221 and the Tramuntana crossing. That makes it easy to plan the walk as a shorter section.
When is the best time to do the hike?

For calmer conditions, an early morning start is often recommended, especially in the warmer months.
What equipment should I bring?
