Choose Mallorca for a great family holiday
The largest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca is the final destination for nearly 10 million visitors each year. Flights to Mallorca deliver weary travellers to a land full of sun, sea, and sand. Although the island is known mostly for its gorgeous beaches and world famous sunsets, there’s much more to do in Mallorca than just relaxing by the seaside.
Palma de Mallorca – just Palma to the locals – is the island’s capital, main city centre, and a lovely place to window shop or enjoy a late afternoon cocktail in a cosy cafe. Situated on the northwest coast are the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana range. For the outdoor enthusiast, this region is full of vast olive groves, gorgeous pine forests, a breathtaking rocky coastline, and dozens of quaint, sun-drenched villages.
The best beaches are to the north and east, though most of the island’s natural beauty has given way to the crush of tourism. Dotted throughout the landscape, though, are small enclaves that have managed to retain much of their original charm without the sterilising influence of commercial development. For those feeling truly adventurous after flights to Mallorca, a trek to some of the beautiful beaches scattered along the southern coast outside of Palma is sure to please.
From rocky mountains to fertile plains, from the bustling city of Palma to quiet country towns, and from the lively tourist resorts in the east to the pristine and secluded beaches in the south, there’s something for everyone to discover before your flights depart for home.
