  • Overview

The perfect deep blue Mediterranean, more than 300 days of sunshine and miles of coastline with secluded coves lure countless millions of visitors to Majorca year after year. Majorca, the largest of the four Balearic Islands, offers the most varied landscape. The dramatic cliffs of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range hug the coastline of the north and north west, from Andratx to the Cape of Formentor. The north coast boasts some of Majorca's most stunning scenery: tiny coves, cliffs that suddenly plunge to the sea and picturesque medieval villages to wander around.

 

The interior is a vast plain of small industrial towns, farmlands, forests of olive and almond trees all protected from the Mediterranean winds by the rugged mountains. The south is dominated by the cosmopolitan island capital, Palma, its handsome bay and popular beaches radiate from it. The east coast is a delightful mix of bays, long sweeps of beaches, coves and spectacular caves. Since the 1960s Majorca has experienced a tourism boom and its popularity lies in its infinite variety. The island is perfect for the young and trendy, families and chic couples who just want to get away from it all.

Choose from the following resorts in Majorca:

Sa Coma

On the east coast and situated south of Cala Millor, Sa Coma is known for its white beach and stylish hotels, bars and restaurants. It has a tourist land train to ferry holidaymakers around. The Jumaica Tropical Park is at nearby Porto Cristo where families can enjoy wildlife and tropical plants. Cala Millor's beautiful beach is worth a visit for bronze beauties to top up their tan.

Alcudia

Ancient history dating back to Roman times; a sophisticated quayside and as many lively bars and clubs as you can hope to enjoy, Majorca's Alcudia is three resorts rolled into one. There is the ancient walled town of Alcudia, where evidence of its importance as an early Roman settlement is being uncovered to this day. There is the sophisticated quayside and harbour where yachtsmen from all over the world drop anchor to enjoy the bars and restaurants clustered around the water's edge. And there is the lively area around Avenida Pedro Mas y Reus (or Dollar Street as it is known to the locals), where you can enjoy cooked breakfasts by day and clubs and bars blasting out the sounds until the early hours. All that, and one of the best beaches in Majorca, Alcudia has got the lot!

Cala D'or

The resort of Cala D'Or, against all the odds, manages to retain a tranquillity and intimacy - despite its fair share of excellent facilities - making it an ideal place to spend a relaxing few weeks. The resort is, in fact, made up of a group of coves that surround the entrance to a marina, which is home to sailing boats and pleasure cruisers from all over the world. Cala D'Or has enough bars, pubs and restaurants so that you don't have to visit the same place twice - unless, of course, you want to.

Calas de Mallorca

This resort on the east coast has developed around the lovely sandy Playa Domingo beach so it's ideal for sun worshippers. There are plenty of bars and restaurants for nightlife and Majorca's awe-inspiring Caves of Drach with fantastic stalactites and stalagmites nearby. There is a fun tourist train to ferry you round this modern beach resort.

Cala San Vincente

Between Pollenca and Port de Pollenca lies the turn off for Cala San Vicente, a sparkling resort situated around three beautiful sandy coves with a picture perfect blue sea that's ideal for swimming and snorkelling. It's framed by craggy mountains, which make it a spectacular setting and one of the top beaches on the island.

Magalluf

Magalluf is an old hand at the tourist game and have become Majorca's perfect partners. While Magalluf is a brash party resort Palma Nova is great for families. For more than 50 years Magalluf has been catering for holidaymakers from all over the world, especially from Britain, and in that time they've learnt exactly what people want from their holiday. All this experience, beautiful beaches and a fantastic climate make it easy to see why many people see this little part of Majorca as the perfect holiday destination.

Palma Nova

Though they are often referred to as one place, Magalluf and Palma Nova have very different qualities and appeal to different groups. Magalluf is a full-on, late night and early morning, party town. Palma Nova on the other hand is older, quieter and more genteel - great for families and people who want to go to bed before it gets light. A perfect holiday mix!

Puerto Pollensa

If the glorious horseshoe sandy bay is the focal point of Puerto Pollensa, then the wondrous Tramantura mountain range that overlooks all is the beautiful backdrop. This pretty resort has a superb local character, featuring a delightful mix of both the traditional as well as modern developments that ensure a pleasant stay. After a day's relaxation on the stunning golden sands, be sure to join the throngs for the nightly strolls along the promenade and the marina before settling into your favourite restaurant or bar.

Torrenova

Perched on rocky headland close to Palma Nova and Magalluf, Torrenova enjoys excellent views across the bay, some of the best that Majorca holidays have to offer. A choice of sandy beaches are just a short walk away and there are some relaxed bars within the resort - although more lively entertainment options can be found in the neighbouring resorts.

Santa Ponsa

Nowadays, the lively resort has all the facilities you could wish for; great beaches, white sands, a pretty marina and plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. Santa Ponsa belongs to the bracket of busy family-orientated Majorca resorts with a cheerful and friendly atmosphere. The small village has grown vastly, making it a great base from which to explore either the west coast, with its picturesque villages along the dramatic rocky shoreline, or venture east to taste the nightlife of neighbouring Magaluf.
