Majorcan Holidays

Majorca is a perfect destination for UK visitors as flying time from most UK airports is only two and a half hours. The island boasts many fantastic beaches and for those looking further inland, the island can be divided into three parts - the Serra de Tramuntana rocks, the Serra de Llevant and the central plain (Es pla).

The island of Majorca or Mallorca as it is also known, is one of the UK’s most popular package holiday destinations. The island offers a host of interesting buildings, architecture and landmarks, as well as miles of seashore suitable for any discerning beach lover. Palma is the capital of Majorca and has a Moorish history, with the eye catching landmark Gothic Cathedral dominating the harbour. Illetas is located on a rocky headland outside Palma and offers an excellent family holiday with fine, sandy beaches and a handful of bars and restaurants. Cala Fornells is a quiet beach resort, situated on a rocky outcrop. Puerto d'Antratx is located on the harbour side and the sandy beaches at Camp de Mar and Peguera are only a short way away. Sa Coma is very popular with families and is modern and quiet and has a fabulous white sandy beach. Cala San Vicente is a former fishing village on the north coast with sandy beaches leading down to beaches set between cliffs. Cala San Vicente is ideal for those wanting a more peaceful resort. Alcudia is another family favourite, and is famed for its beaches which include a 15km golden sand beach. Cala d'Or is set in small rocky coves, with sandy beaches shadowed by pine trees.

Holidays to Majorca means beach activities (with over 90 beaches available), the golfing fraternity has recognised the value of the island and has adopted the many courses available on the island to become a well-known golfing mecca for many.

Accommodation caters mainly for the package-tourist, with plenty of hotels near to the beach. However, the island also has a number of alternative accommodations including designer hotels, fully equipped apartments, apart hotels and fincas (or Agroturismo as they are also known, a growing trend for farmhouses and country estates built before 1960 to be fully refurbished, modernised and rented out to visitors).
