The Spanish sun is calling – Majorca holidays are a cocktail of eye-catching beaches, ancient history and UNESCO-approved mountain scenery.
Palma
You’ll find Palma, Majorca’s capital, on the south-western side of the island. The city’s been around since the 13th century, so sights include an 800-year-old Gothic cathedral. There’s also an Arabian-style quarter, complete with Instagram-worthy, pastel-coloured houses. The city’s great for shopping, too, boasting everything from swanky boutiques to purse-friendly souvenir shops. Bed down in Playa de Palma or Palma Nova and you’ll have the beach on your doorstep while being within easy reach of the city.
Alcudia
Elsewhere on the island, there are plenty more beach resorts to go around. One of the most popular on the north coast is Alcudia, which is blessed with a bunch of beautiful sandy stretches. Alcudia has a chilled-out nightlife scene, with the focus on seafront bars and restaurants. By day, when you’re not sunning yourself on Mediterranean-style white sand, you’ll find a selection of Roman ruins to explore around town.
