Overview

Majorca (or Mallorca) is the largest of the Balearic Islands and one of the quickest beach holidays to reach from the UK.

Long sandy bays in the north are ideal for families, while the east coast is dotted with small coves of clear turquoise water. The Serra de Tramuntana mountains hide stone villages such as Sóller and Deià, and Palma combines a beautiful old town and cathedral with great restaurants.

From family all-inclusives to boutique hotels and villas with pools, there’s something for every kind of trip.
