Things to do in Majorca

Our villas in Majorca give you access to a wealth of activities guaranteed to keep everyone entertained: from thrilling water parks and pristine beaches, to hiking among the pine trees, and cycling over the island’s stunning mountains.

Although many holidaymakers flock to the coastal resorts, Majorca’s inner beauty shouldn’t be missed – with traditional villages and pine forests surrounding the picturesque Tramuntana Mountains, their jagged peaks formed from limestone over 100 million years ago.

Majorca is obviously a fantastic place to visit for history buffs. There are a plethora of museums and galleries to explore, including the Palma Cathedral, which is said to be one of the most beautiful in Spain. You can also visit the Museu d'Art Modern de la Fundació Vila Casas and see their impressive collection of modern art. And for those who love markets, there are plenty of open air markets selling local produce.

Beaches in Majorca

Majorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is one of the most popular holiday destinations, and for good reason. With a vast selection of beaches and hidden coves, this sun-drenched island leads the way in Balearic beach bliss!

Long stretches of fine white sand coupled with water sports, beach bars and promenades, as well as more peaceful, pebbly coves off the beaten track, make Majorca’s beach selection so varied yet so satisfying.

Cala d’Or beach

Cala d’Or beach is one of the most popular beaches in Majorca. This small beach resort is located in the south-west of the island and has a wide range of facilities on offer, including sun loungers and parasols. If you want to eat or drink, there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.

Palma Nova beach

Palma Nova beach is one of the most gorgeous beaches in Majorca. Palma Nova is a small town on the east coast of Majorca, close to the airport and just south of Alcudia Bay. The beach itself runs for about 4km, but it has two distinct areas: one relatively shallow and sandy with rocks in the middle; and the other which is much deeper and clear of rocks.

The beach is popular with families as there are plenty of facilities for children including a small water park near the entrance to Palma Nova marina. There’s also an excellent range of restaurants nearby if you don’t want to cook for yourself after your day on this glorious sandy beach.

Puerto Alcudia beach

This beach is located in the municipality of Alcudia, just a few kilometres from Puerto Alcudia itself. It is sandy, has lifeguards on duty and there are toilets available. A car park can be found close to the beach and there are also sunbeds and parasols available to rent.

Playa de Muro

Playa de Muro is a beautiful beach on the north coast of Majorca, close to Ciudadela. The beach has light sand and crystal clear waters, making it ideal for swimming. There are also plenty of options for eating at the many seafood restaurants close by.

Our Alcudia villas are close to some of the best tourist beaches equipped for families, while our Puerto Pollensa villas offer easy access to long stretches of golden sand. The charming coves further south in Cala d’Or provide a more serene and tranquil experience.

Nightlife in Majorca

Enjoy a sundowner or two in one of our Mallorca villas, next to your private pool, or if you prefer to get out and about, discover Majorca’s mix of laid-back bars and high-octane nightclubs, with the latter predominantly located on the southwest of the island close to Palma and Santa Ponsa.

If you're looking for a party, Magaluf is the place to go. The lively bars and clubs offer plenty of opportunities to dance the night away, plus there are also some great restaurants serving up delicious Mediterranean food if you need a break from clubbing.

The resorts of Alcudia and Puerto Pollensa offer the perfect variety of vibrant bars with live music and open-air restaurants for those wanting a quiet drink.

Food and Drink in Majorca

The island's cuisine is a reflection of its history. With tapas restaurants lining the streets, you’re in for a culinary treat. In addition to enjoying some of the best wine and seafood in Spain, you can also sample a wide variety of regional specialties as well as typical fare like paella (a rice dish), tortilla de patatas (potato omelet), and bocadillos de calamares (fried calamari sandwiches).

Speciality dishes in Majorca include Tumbet – a vegetarian stew similar to a Ratatouille, and Serviola a la Mallorquina – fresh fish baked and smothered in a rich tomato sauce.

Our villas to rent in Mallorca are never too far away from restaurants serving these specialties as well as a variety of international cuisines so suit all tastes.

History and Culture in Majorca

Though Majorca is a modern tourist destination, its roots are very old. The island was inhabited by the ancient Greeks and Romans, who left behind their own ruins in the form of temples and theatres. You can visit these sites yourself by taking day trips from Palma or Alcudia.

Experience the capital Palma

Palma, the capital of Majorca, has a rich history. The city's old town, known as La Ciutat Vella, dates back to medieval times and offers many beautiful examples of Catalan Gothic architecture.

Wander in the footsteps of Picasso

If you're an art fan, take a trip to Palma de Mallorca, the city that was Picasso's home base during much of his life, and visit his studio on Carrer del Convent which contains a few of his paintings. Or head to his house in Port Lligat, where he lived from 1953 until his death in 1973. The house is located on the northwest coast about an hour from Palma. It's open daily from 9:30am –9pm.
