Beaches and Resorts

Mallorca is defined by its coastline, which ranges from bustling tourist hubs to more serene, hidden pockets. Towns like Magaluf and Palmanova are popular with those who appreciate proximity to the sea and a lively atmosphere. If you prefer a more natural setting, areas like Playa de Muro and the resorts near the Tramuntana mountains offer a different pace of life, focusing on scenery and outdoor access. Across the island, you will find a mix of extensive family resorts, such as the Beach Club Font de Sa Cala in Capdepera, alongside smaller, more intimate properties, ensuring there is a spot for every type of traveller.

Food and Things to Do

Beyond the loungers and hotel swimming pools, the island offers plenty to explore. A stroll through the old town areas of Palma provides a glimpse into local culture and history, while the coastal promenades of places like Can Picafort invite you to enjoy long, leisurely walks by the Mediterranean. Watersports are a staple activity for many, particularly in the larger resorts, while nature enthusiasts often head towards the protected parklands near the coast. When it comes to dining, visitors can expect a wealth of fresh seafood and traditional Mediterranean flavours served in welcoming seaside settings.

Who Should Visit?

Mallorca is remarkably well-suited to the British package-holiday traveller. Families appreciate the range of amenities provided at larger resorts like the Eix Platja Daurada in Can Picafort, where direct access to the promenade makes managing a day at the beach effortless. Couples often head to the more tranquil corners of the island or stay in sophisticated apart-hotels to enjoy their own rhythm.
