With an average of more than 300 days of sunshine a year and some of Europe’s finest beaches, restaurants, nightclubs and historic towns, it is little wonder Majorca is so popular with tourists. The largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, Majorca enjoys a spectacular Mediterranean setting, famous not only for the warmth of its weather, but also for the reception given to visitors, particularly the few who at least make the effort to speak Spanish.

Majorca is most famous as a party island, with the major towns of Palma Nova and Magaluf drawing thousands of revellers every year. The island’s reputation as one of Europe’s biggest and brashest hedonistic havens is well-deserved, with innumerable bars and nightclubs offering the chance to party through the night and well into the morning. English-speaking tourists are particularly well-catered for, as virtually everyone on the island either speaks English, or is a native English speaker. As a result, having a good time in one of Majorca’s party towns is assured.

The largest of Spain’s Balearic Island’s is perhaps equally famous for its superb sandy beaches and sun-kissed climate. Majorca’s golden shores have attracted sun worshippers for decades and to this day are among Europe’s cleanest and best maintained. Indeed, there are 37 Blue Flag beaches in Majorca, from the long stretches of sandy coastline in the north, to the intimate, pine-clad coves in the east, offering everything from watersports to the chance to relax and read your book. The beaches around Alcudia, Puerto Pollensa and Magaluf are perhaps the most popular, as well as the beautiful, powdery coves and deep inlets around Cala D’or. Picturesque coves and quieter beaches can be found along the north-eastern coastline, especially around Cala Mesquida.

But Majorca is so much more than a revellers and sun-worshippers paradise. The island offers a wealth of history and culture to explore, along with some of the Mediterranean’s finest cuisine. Coming in to land the first recognisable feature visitors will see is Palma’s magnificent 14th Century Gothic cathedral. From here visitors can explore everything Majorca has to offer, from castles to museums and quaint hilltop villages. And if that’s not your scene, why not walk the broad plains and rolling countryside of Es Pla, the peaceful botanical gardens of Soller, or take a glass bottom boat ride in Calas de Majorca. And with virtually every type of food known to man, from British to Italian, Greek, Chinese, Indian and traditional Majorcan fare, whatever your passion, Majorca delivers in sun-kissed style.
