Majorca is an island with something to please everyone. Beaches vary from wide sandy bays to charmingly secluded inlets. The landscape changes from dramatic mountains and the spectacular scenery of Cap de Formentor to gently terraced hillsides and fertile valleys. You'll soon discover the pace of life varies from the frantic to the sleepy. Wherever you go and whatever pace of life you choose, the warm, friendly welcome doesn't change.

If you are looking for sandy bays, English style pubs, bars and restaurants head for Magaluf and Palma Nova, even if you are looking for a more local flavour, it's all here. Puerto Pollensa, Cala Bona and Cala Millor have a more relaxed and typically Majorcan ambience. For a cosmopolitan choice of shops and restaurants and the chance to indulge in a spot of sightseeing, spend some time in Palma. You can admire the magnificent cathedral, Bellver Castle (beautifully floodlit after dark) and one of the biggest and most exclusive marinas in the Mediterranean.
