At the highest part of the village stands the church of Sant Jordi , built in the 17th century on the remains of an oratory, and the old school .
From here we recommend going down to the public washrooms , where it is very easy to imagine what life was like in the olden days in this mountain village.
Another mandatory stop is on the main street, where there are the only two restaurants in the Orient , unique places to discover the most authentic flavors of Mallorca and enjoy beautiful views.

The natural beauty of the Orient surroundings invites you to take pleasant excursions and long walks. A few kilometers from the village you will find surprising enclaves.
The Salt des Freu
From Orient you can reach Salt des Freu in a simple 25-minute excursion, an incredible natural waterfall surrounded by a wonderful forest of oaks, pines and olive trees. During the rainy season, Salt des Freu becomes, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places in Mallorca.
