About Majorca (Mallorca)

Majorca (or more properly in Spanish "Mallorca"), a popular holiday destination for UK tourists with a profusion of hotels, apartments and other accommodation for rent. Majorca is the largest of Balearic Islands, and along with the neighbouring islands of Menorca and Ibiza, is located off the south east coast of mainland Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. Travel time by aeroplane from UK airports is around 2 to 2½ hours and the island is 1 hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, typical of most continental European countries. Because of its Mediterranean climate it enjoys more-or-less guaranteed sunshine and warm temperatures throughout a long summer season, caters well for and is very popular with British holidaymakers.

Alcudia

Alcúdia is a small township in the Balearic Islands, and a main tourist centre on the island of Majorca. The area has many sandy beaches and tourist attractions. The beach at Alcúdia is about 6 miles long and stretches as far as C'an Picafort. It also joins on to Playa de Muro which is home to S'Albufera; a natural park that is very popular with bird-watchers. There are remains of a Roman town just outside the walls, as well as a small Roman theatre. North of the wall is the town's bull ring. Further north and west are many coves and beaches ideal for sunbathing or snorkelling.

Palma

Palma (or more fully 'Palma de Mallorca') is the major city and port on the island of Majorca and capital city of the Spanish Balearic Islands. Almost half of the total population of Majorca live in Palma. The Old City, located behind the Cathedral, is a maze of streets owing much to their Arab past. This city quarter is a mostly traffic-free area populated with tourists most of the time, the walkways are fairly narrow and quiet, surrounded by interesting buildings. Palma is bordered by rocky inlets and marinas on the south side, whilst many of the tourist resorts are located on the eastern side.

Cala Millor

Cala Millor is a fair sized tourist destination on the Island of Mallorca with a population of 5,665 inhabitants. It is the largest tourist development on the east coast of the island, and less than an hour's drive from the capital along the MA15 highway. Many British tour operators sell package deals to the resort. Cala Millor (which means "Better Bay") is also situated close to the tourist resorts of Sa Coma and Cala Bona ("Good Bay"), and the Famous Porto Cristo. Restaurants in the centre and on the seafront make for a lively but family friendly atmosphere. The nearby beach is reputed to be one of the best on the island. Hotel and apartment accommodation comes and goes, but as a guide the town generally has around 61 hotels and about 65 self-catering apartments.

Magaluf

Magaluf is a major holiday resort on Majorca, catering chiefly for the British and Scandinavian package holiday market. The resort has three main beaches, popular for their white sand: Majorca Beach, Magaluf Beach and Palma Nova Beach. These beaches are lined with small bars and shops. Magaluf tends to cater for both young parties as well as families, with peak season during July and August. There are many bars and nightclubs and night-life is centred around the Punta Ballena strip, where most of the night clubs and bars are. Besides bars and nightclubs, there are two water parks, a Sling Shot, go kart racing, horseback riding and various water sports including SCUBA, Jet skiing and wind surfing. A number of hotels have more family friendly dinner shows and cabarets.

Palma Nova

Palma Nova (literally meaning "New Palm") was one of the first purpose-built tourist destinations on the island, catering for all tastes. With the advent of low cost airlines, Palma Nova has grown to become a major holiday destination for British and European tourists. Palma Nova has three large beaches - Playa de Son Maties, Playa de Palma Nova and Playa des Carregador, the latter being the quieter of the three beaches and lies in the northern end of the resort. Palma Nova is very popular among British tourists and this has led to many restaurants offering food to suit their taste like hamburgers and dishes with French fries, but also offers other types of cuisine including Indian, Chinese and local Mallorcan dishes.

Santa Ponsa

This resort is popular with British, Irish, German and Dutch many of these nationalities own villas and apartments on the hills either side of the bay. It is predominantly a summer resort with a high season lasting from May to October. It also has two 18-hole golf courses. Every September there is a grand fiesta to commemorate the landing of King James the First, who liberated it from Moorish occupation, with a mock battle between the Moors and Christians on the beach. It is a two week fiesta which incorporates a pop concert and firework display.
