Description
Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, bringing together Mediterranean coastline, mountain landscapes, hidden coves and historic old towns all in one place.
More than beaches and sunshine
Mallorca has a way of surprising you — there's far more to it than the well-worn holiday clichés suggest. The coastline offers crystal-clear, turquoise water and clean sandy beaches, including tucked-away coves such as Sa Calobra and Cala Llombards that sit well off the beaten track. If you want to get to know the island properly, it's worth venturing into its lesser-known corners and supporting local businesses along the way.
Mountain scenery and sweeping views
The Serra de Tramuntana runs as a dramatic mountain range across the island, offering spectacular landscapes at every turn. Viewpoints such as the Mirador del Colomer open up vast panoramas over the coast and peaks. The region lends itself beautifully to hiking and cycling, and you'll quickly notice that cyclists are very much part of the character of the island's narrow inland roads.
Picturesque villages and old towns
Among the most rewarding destinations on Mallorca are the villages of Valldemossa, Sóller and Deià, as well as the old town of Palma. These places have an atmosphere that sets them clearly apart from the bustle of mass tourism.
Activities on the water and on land
The island offers great conditions for cycling, hiking, diving, sailing and boat trips. Many beaches have shallow, calm water that works well for families with children, and hidden coves are easily explored independently or by boat.
Mass tourism and hidden gems
Mass tourism — particularly around the Ballermann strip — is a very real part of life on the island. Head inland or up into the mountains, though, and you'll find a noticeably quieter and more authentic side of Mallorca. The island is large enough to hold both worlds comfortably side by side.
