Majorca Holidays: Balearic Island Guide for UK Travellers
Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and one of the most popular destinations for UK holidaymakers. It packs a lot into one island, from long sandy beaches and lively resorts to quieter coves and rolling countryside.
Families return year after year for the reliable sunshine and easy logistics, while couples find plenty of calmer corners away from the busier strips.
Where to stay in Majorca
The island has resorts to suit most tastes, and a few clear options stand out. Hipotels Dunas is a four-star in the coastal town of Cala Millor, while Hipotels Cala Millor Park is a four-star in the same resort town, both handy for the beach. Hipotels Coma Gran is an apartment-style four-star in Sa Coma, set near the beach and good for families wanting more space. Holiday Village Majorca is a five-star resort near Cala Millor that leans into all-inclusive family holidays.
Getting there and when to go
Majorca is one of the easiest reaches from the UK, with frequent flights and short transfers. Summers are hot and busy, while spring and autumn bring warm, comfortable weather and fewer crowds. Even winters stay mild, though the resorts are at their liveliest in the peak season.
