Majorca

Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and has a range of delightful attractions to suit all budgets and tastes. The capital Palma is bustling with life and offers a combination of history and modernity with its Bellver Castle and Le Seu Cathedral rubbing shoulders with chic boutiques and a stylish contemporary art gallery.

The famous resort of Magaluf is the epicentre of the island’s colourful nocturnal activities with a plethora of bars and nightclubs, whilst those seeking less hedonistic pursuits can relax in the peaceful seaside village of Deia or discover the breathtaking scenery of the Tramuntana Mountains and the vineyards that lie in its foothills. Other options include the relaxing sandy beaches of Alcudia and the delightful bays of Cala D’Or.
