About Majorca
Majorca (Mallorca) is the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands and one of Europe's most beloved holiday destinations. With over 300 km of coastline, the island offers everything from buzzing beach resorts to quiet mountain villages.
The island is perfectly suited to families, couples, and groups alike. Spend your days lounging on pristine beaches like Es Trenc or Cala Agulla, explore the atmospheric old town of Palma, or venture into the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountain range — a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Nightlife is centred around Magaluf and Palma Nova, while quieter areas like Port de Pollença and Alcúdia offer a more relaxed atmosphere. Majorca truly has something for everyone.
When to Visit
Peak summer (July–August) is hot and busy. May, June and September offer warm weather with fewer crowds and lower prices. Winter is mild and quiet — ideal for walking holidays.
