Beach holidays in Majorca

An irresistible beach hotspot! Blessed with sun-soaked sands, the beaches of Majorca are a paradise for relaxation and fun. Ranging from super-soft fine white sand to pebbly shorelines and tiny little coves flanked by a clear crystal sea, there is everything you could possible want on them sunbathing front including numerous watersports and cheerful beach cafés. Be mesmerized by the eight kilometres of sand at Alcudia where you’ll find great beach facilities for families and the popular Club Mac Alcudia hotel. Or, be dazzled by the powdery coves of Cala d’Or.

You could also head to Puerto Pollensa where there’s a magnificent bay. If however, you’re after somewhere to escape to, hire a car and head along the coast. There are many coastal gems and you’ll be able to unfurl your beach towel no problem. Watersports are easy to come by too on this sun-drenched island, so if you feel like something more active, why not jump on a water-ski or banana boat. If you fancy something a bit more relaxing, hop on board a glassbottomed boat sailing from the harbourfront and experience marine life beneath the sea

Lively holidays in Majorca

In Puerto Pollensa and Pollensa the pace steps down a gear with cheerful waterfront restaurants forming the focal point of nights out. And, of course, an evening in the island’s capital Palma is an absolute must.
