Majorca Holidays
from £ 138 pp
View All DealsMajorca holidays are packed full of variety. The island’s a cocktail of eye-catching beaches, ancient history and UNESCO-dubbed mountain scenery.
Palma
Majorca’s capital’s dolloped on the south-western side of the island, where it’s ruled the roost since the 13th century. These days, crowds flock in droves to make the most of its swanky shopping scene, which brings together top-notch boutiques and purse-friendly souvenir shops. Sights-wise, it’s a winner, too. There’s a giant, 800-year-old Gothic cathedral, and an Arabian-style colonial quarter, complete with Instagram-worthy, pastel-coloured houses.
Alcudia
On the other side of the island, you’ll find Alcudia, a resort in Majorca that’s headlined by a bunch of beautiful beaches. This place has a different vibe to Palma, opting for a more relaxed nightlife scene that’s based around seafront bars and restaurants. This hasn’t gotten in the way of history, though. When you’re done sunning yourself on Mediterranean-style white sand, there are loads of Roman ruins to explore around town.
Serra de Tramuntana Mountains
This sometimes-snow-capped mountain range calls the shots in Majorca’s north-west, serving up a landscape that looks like it belongs in the Swiss Alps rather than the Balearic Islands. The entire 90-square-kilometre area’s recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a protected nature reserve. Roads weave their way around the mountain slopes. So every time you turn a corner you get a different view of Majorca’s wild, inland scenery.
