Majorca is best known for its beaches, which is no surprise as this is probably what Majorca does best, from sweeping velvet sands to small coves carved out by the crystal blue sea. On the north coast of the island sits the resorts of Alcudia and Puerto Pollensa, which are ideal for those with young children in tow as the calm waters and golden sandy beaches are perfect for letting the children paddle whilst you stroll along the shore line. On the east coast you will find Sa Coma and Cala Bona, perfect for water-sports and escaping the midday sun as well as a picture postcard coastline. The party resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova are found on the south-west coast with great expanses of sandy beaches and the water is crammed with jet-skis and banana boats. Just around the corner Camp de Mar offers a slower pace of life with dazzling sands and some of the best scenery anywhere in the Mediterranean.
There is so much to see and do in Majorca that it is well worth tearing yourself away from the sun-lounger for a while and have a break from topping up the tan. The city of Palma is a must, with its stunning cathedral and maze of cobbled streets crammed with tapas bars and small designer boutiques. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous then there is always the rickety train ride to the town Soller, which is set amongst acres of scented orange groves. If you fancy some time at sea why not climb aboard a boat in one of Majorca’s many harbours and explore the stunning coastline.
