The largest of Spain's Balearic Islands, Majorca is situated in the stunning blue Mediterranean Sea. A definite treasure, the island is a wonderful mix of old, new, modern, traditional and, naturally, abundant dollops of sun, sea and sand.
Young singles, couples and groups of friends visit the south coast for vibrant and active nightlife. The north offers a more tranquil setting, with idyllic walking trails, stunning scenery and family-friendly beaches.
For a relatively small land mass, Majorca features a surprising diversity in its landscapes and regions. Within the island, there are two main mountain ranges, the Serra de Tramuntana and Serres de Llevant. There are also many cliffs and caves along the rugged northern coast available to explore.
Majorca is more than just a place to lounge on the beach — it's jam packed with natural wonders and fascinating culture. For example, the island has its own traditional dance, known as The Ball dels Cossiers. It was also a holiday spot for many influential people throughout history, including poets Robert Graves and Jorge Luis Borges, novelist Agatha Christie, and composer and pianist Frédéric Chopin.
With gentle waters and wide, sandy beaches, Majorca features many excellent sites for a variety of watersports and activities. Try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding, waterskiing, jetskiing, or parasailing. Whether you prefer laid-back, relaxing holidays or outdoorsy active getaways, Majorca has something for everyone.
