Mallorca

Mallorca is the most visited island in the Balearics. Families flock here thanks to its many beaches that cater to taking a stroll or a splash, while retirees find an abundance of wellness treatments at spas along the coast.

‍Honeymooners enjoy exploring a range of activities including diving into the clear blue waters or hiking through mountainous trails. There are over 30 picturesque old towns on the island to explore, each with their own unique history and culture. The villages of Sóller, Puigpunyen, Pollença, and Fornalutx are some of our favourites in terms of convenience and the variety of activities they offer. Mallorca also has an incredibly sophisticated food scene, with restaurants serving up some of the most revered cuisine in Spain. Eating out in the area has never been more exciting. There's nothing like relaxing by the water with your feet dangling on their sandy shores while you wait for your freshly grilled tuna steak or fried calamari. If you are feeling adventurous, the island is a cycling paradise, a Mecca of solid rock. Whether you want to have a long slow day in the scenery or completely destroy your legs on the hills, you’ll be in good company. There is a great cycling community here. Finally, the historic sites of the island are not to be missed. The 13th Century Santa Maria Cathedral in Palma to the stone built villages in Pollença there will be something new to discover each time you come home. ‍ When to go ‍ If you prefer average temperatures in the 20s and 30s and avoiding crowds of summer tourists before they descend on the island, then the best time to go is between March and May. Summer has a long stretch in Mallorca – from June to September – and is characterized by sweltering temperatures. Autumn is another nice shoulder season with mild temperatures and cooling rains. It is not rare to have lunch out on a terrace in November! ‍ How to get there ‍ Palma airport, only 8 kilometres east of Palma, is the third largest airport in Spain. During the summer months, this is one of the busiest airports in Europe and is well equipped for the millions of tourists that travel through it each year. There are regular flights from all major UK, US and European cities including London, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam and Brussels.
