A home for all holidayers, Majorca

Discover Majorca

The grandest of the Balearic Islands, Majorca is bursting with sunny holidays for everyone. Beach resorts bustle on the long-reaching coasts, cyclists and adventurers explore the winding roads of spectacular inland scenery, shoppers delight in boutique Palma and life is lived to the full in popular nightlife spots.

When it comes to resorts, families receive a glorious welcome in seaside Alcudia, Cala Bona and Puerto Pollensa. Former fishing villages and mountainside retreats make great getaways for couples, although Sa Coma is known for its romantic hotels. The Port of Palma de Mallorca is a major cruise cruise ship station if you're looking to take to the Mediterranean shores.

Get to know the island of Majorca

The west coast is home to the stunning cove of Sa Calobra. The monumental beach walls lead you towards the glistening sea, perfect for cooling off. A scenic drive this way should include a stop at medieval Fornalutx, the self-titled prettiest village in Spain. 

Close to Fornalutx is the larger town of Soller great for tapas, architecture and orange juice thanks to its citrus valley setting. The island has great bus routes, especially in Palma, with boat or coach tours easily accessible, but the best journey to Soller is made on its vintage railway.

Palma’s tapas, shopping and city vibe

Undergoing a serious face-lift in the early noughties, Palma is a chic and cosmopolitan city, perfect for eating, shopping and people-watching. Mercat de S'Olivar is one of Spain's premier markets and commercial hubs, with food, clothing and souvenir vendors all jostling for space. Grab a glass of albariño and take in the sights, or skip the hubbub entirely, opting to explore the gothic grandeur of Catedral de Mallorca, the Arab baths or Sa Llotja, home to winding streets full of delicious restaurants. 

As the capital of the Balearic Islands, Palma is a major Spanish city as well as a base for popular holiday hotspots such as Palma Nova and Magaluf. Although its nightlife is indeed up there with the best in the world, it's a great holiday destination for families too - tree-lined avenues, boutique hotels and wonderful hospitality make for a fun and friendly setting in which to relax.
