Majorca Holidays

Majorca (or Mallorca, as it's also known) is the Balearics at full size, with 250 bangin' beaches, one of the hottest party spots in Europe, a UNESCO listed mountain range (it's that good), and the food of holiday dreams. Palma one day, a pine-backed cove the next, Magaluf on the third, and a wine valley to recover in.

Highlights of your Holidays to Majorca 2026

• Around 250 beaches and coves - Everything from Es Trenc's two kilometres of white sand to calas you reach down a pine track and share with four other people.

• A mountain range with a UNESCO listing - The Serra de Tramuntana runs the length of the north-west coast, tops out at 1,445m on Puig Major, and has been a World Heritage cultural landscape since 2011.

• Palma is a proper city - A Gothic cathedral with the largest rose window in the world, a covered market worth an afternoon, and the kind of rooftop bar scene you plan an evening around.

• They've got their own special wine - The Binissalem valley grows Manto Negro and Callet, two grapes that barely exist outside the island, so after you've left don't go whining that you never tried it (not sorry!)

• Magaluf - One of the Meds top party hotspots. If the sun is shining, the strip is pumping (and the sun's basically always shining in Majorca.)

🎉 Majorca Fun Facts You Didn’t Know (But Totally Should)

• Pearls, Darling – Majorca’s Manacor pearls are famous for looking as fancy as the real thing. Perfect for treating yourself to a posh souvenir.

• Star Appeal – celebs like Grace Kelly, Michael Douglas, and Claudia Schiffer have all holidayed here - if it’s good enough for them, right?

• Balearic Big Shot – Majorca is the biggest of the Balearic Islands, which means more space, more beaches, and yes, more fun!

Good to know for your Majorca Holiday

• ☀️ Weather - July and August afternoons sit around 31°C, the sea peaks at 26°C in August, and even January gets to about 15°C in the middle of the day.

• 💶 Money - A menú del día lunch is €13-€16, a caña of beer is €2.50-€3, and a cafe con leche is €2-€2.50. Beachfront terraces in the big resorts run noticeably higher than the back streets.

Majorca is perfect for you if...

• You like the idea of a UNESCO mountain range, a superyacht marina and a foam party all on the same island

• You want a beach holiday where you can party, laze around on fantastic beaches and enjoy amazing natural beauty, all on the same trip

• You are travelling with people who want completely different holidays, and you would like everyone to get theirs

• You would rather fly two and a half hours than nine and still land somewhere that feels properly toasty

📍 Where to Stay in Majorca 2026/2027

💑 Where should couples stay in Majorca?

• Cala d'Or - Chic, beachy and calm on the east coast. Sheltered pine-backed coves, boutique restaurants and a relaxed marina. Ideal for couples who want beauty without the buzz.

• Puerto Pollensa - Laid-back charm in the north with the famous Pine Walk promenade, mountain views and excellent harbourside restaurants. One of the most romantic spots on the island.

• Palma City - The capital brings culture, cocktails and cathedral views. Rooftop bars in Santa Catalina, boutique shopping on Passeig del Born and the Grand Harbour lit up at night.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Where should families stay in Majorca?

• Alcudia / Port d'Alcudia - The family favourite. Majorca's longest beach with shallow water, waterparks, mini-golf and a charming old town with medieval walls. The go-to for family holidays.

• Santa Ponsa - A winner for families with shallow water, an easy-going town centre and a good range of family-friendly hotels. Quieter than Magaluf but close enough for a day trip.

• Cala Millor - A long sweep of golden sand on the east coast with calm waves, bags of space and loads of activities. Great for active families.

🎉 Where should groups stay in Majorca?

• Magaluf - Party HQ. The strip is legendary for a reason - neon lights, foam parties, DJs and beach bars. If you're doing Majorca with the crew, this is the starting point.

• Playa de Palma - Close to Palma with a long beach and a party streak. The Ballermann strip has the big nights, while the rest of the beach stays more chilled.

• Palma Nova - Sunny, sandy and next door to Magaluf. A good base for groups who want the party nearby but prefer a slightly calmer hotel scene.

🏖️ Other resorts

• Cala San Vicente - A peaceful resort in the north with four beautiful coves and dramatic mountain scenery. Proper switch-off territory.

• Playa de Muro - Huge, peaceful and part of a nature reserve. Shallow water for miles and the iconic wooden pier. A quieter alternative to neighbouring Alcudia.

• Puerto de Soller - A picturesque harbour town in the Tramuntana mountains. Reached by a vintage tram from Soller - proper postcard material.

What are the best beaches to head to in Majorca?

From Caribbean-style strips to hidden coves tucked inside national parks, Majorca’s coastline is a bit of a show-off when it comes to beach holidays. Whether you’re after a party atmosphere or pure peace and quiet, here are the spots to lay your towel:

• Es Trenc - often called Majorca’s answer to the Caribbean. With 2km of blinding white sand and turquoise water backing onto a nature reserve, it’s wild, unspoilt, and 100% Insta-spammable.

• Cala Millor - the ultimate family all-rounder. A long sweep of golden sand with calm waves and bags of space for sandcastle kingdoms. Bonus points for the nearby water sports if the teens get restless.

• Playa de Muro - huge, peaceful, and part of a nature reserve. The water is shallow for miles (perfect for paddling), and the iconic wooden pier is pure Instagram gold.

• Cala Mondragó - set in a national park, this spot offers twin coves with jaw-dropping scenery and hiking paths. It’s rugged, natural, and well worth the trip for nature lovers.

• Port de Pollença - a classy choice for laid-back families. The bay is calm, the water is shallow, and the famous Pine Walk promenade is perfect for a breezy post-swim stroll with the pram.

• Magaluf Beach - don’t let the reputation fool you—the beach itself is a stunner. Expect energy, DJs, and water sports galore. It’s the perfect spot for a "recovery dip" after a big night out.

• Formentor Beach - a scenic stunner backed by dramatic pine-clad mountains. It’s a bit of a winding road to get there, but the views are 100% worth the journey.

Majorca. The home of the summer Love Island villa. A holiday icon. Palma Nova. Magaluf. Alcudia. And plenty more. Combine this with a range of all inclusive hotels and our SUPERB (we're not boasting or anything...) deals on cheap holidays and last minute holidays, then the question is less "should we book?" and more "why haven't we booked yet?"

That's what all-inclusive holidays to Majorca are all about. This place even directly translates to 'Larger Island'. So - go BIG, or go home.

Cheap holidays to Majorca

Majorca has a reputation as one of the more upmarket Spanish beach holidays, which can be true (it is an island after all), but only if you stay on the seafront in Palma and eat where the yachts are. The south-west around Magaluf, Palma Nova and Santa Ponsa, and the Playa de Palma strip at El Arenal and Can Pastilla, carry the most hotels and therefore the most competition between them (which means better prices for you know who). The north and east coasts, Alcudia and Cala Millor and Cala d'Or, sit a little above that. The Tramuntana villages and Puerto de Soller are where the numbers climb.

Half board and all-inclusive both mean your holiday ends up being cheaper overall, and with a good selection of all-inclusive holidays on Majorca there is real choice at every level.

If you would rather eat out, the menu del dia is the thing to know about: a set lunch of starter, main, dessert and a drink for €13-€16 in most towns, and under €15 even in parts of Palma. Eat your main meal at lunchtime and the evening becomes tapas and a walk.

May, early June, late September and October all give you warm sea and long days, which is worth knowing if your dates are flexible. Away from the beach, most of the best things to do here cost nothing: the Tramuntana walking routes, the old town at Alcudia, the market at Santa Catalina, and the coves you have to park up and walk down to. Two things to budget for on top of the holiday price are the tourist tax, which is charged per person per night at the hotel, and airport transfers if your resort is on the far side of the island.

Majorca holidays 2026 travel guide

🎉 What are the top things to do for groups on a Majorca holiday?

• The Magaluf strip - Neon, foam parties and DJs until the sun comes up. It is iconic for a reason and it has smartened up along the seafront.

• BCM Mallorca - One of the biggest clubs in Europe, two floors, international names on the decks, and it runs most nights from April to October.

• Quad biking in the Tramuntana - Mountain trails, olive terraces and a lot of dust, with views back down to the coast at the top.

• Caves of Drach - An underground boat ride at Porto Cristo, and a live string quartet playing on the water in a cave, which is odder and better than it sounds.

• Palma rooftops - The Santa Catalina bars do sunset over the cathedral, and the evening carries on in the old town underneath.

💑 What are the best things to do for couples on a Majorca holiday?

• The Pine Walk at Puerto Pollensa - A seafront path under old pines with the Tramuntana dropping into the bay, best walked around seven in the evening.

• The Soller train - A 1912 wooden train from Palma through the mountains and orange groves to Soller, about an hour each way, then the open-sided tram down to the port.

• Sunset catamaran from Palma - Out of the bay with a glass of something cold as the cathedral turns gold behind you.

• Binissalem wine tasting - The island's wine valley grows Manto Negro and Callet, two grapes you will struggle to find anywhere else, and the bodegas are generous with the pours.

• Sunrise hot air balloon - Lifting off over the plain with the Tramuntana on one side and the sea on the other, then breakfast when you land.

• Valldemossa - Stone streets, a Carthusian monastery where Chopin spent a famously wet winter, and a viewpoint at the top of the village.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What are the best things to do on a Majorca family holiday?

• Katmandu Park, Magaluf - The upside-down house is the headline, and there is a 4D cinema, mini-golf and splash zones behind it. Open daily through the season.

• Hidropark Alcudia - Slides, a wave pool and shaded snack spots, open from April with two new slides for the season.

• Palma Aquarium - The Big Blue is 8.5m deep and one of the deepest shark tanks in Europe, with a shark tunnel underneath it.

• Jungle Parc, Santa Ponsa - Nine hectares of pine forest turned into zip-lines, rope bridges and swings across four circuits, 500m from the beach.

• Caves of Drach - Boats, stalactites and a cavern the size of a cathedral, and children tend to be quieter in there than anywhere else on the trip.

• Alcudia old town - Medieval walls you can walk along, a Tuesday and Sunday market, and ice cream at the end of it.

🗣️ Local Lingo

Two languages are official here. Spanish is the one you will have learned, and Catalan is the island's own, in a local form called Mallorqui. Signs and place names are usually in Catalan, which is why you will see Alcudia written Alcúdia and Pollensa written Pollença, and why the island itself is Mallorca on every road sign and Majorca on your booking. English is spoken everywhere in the resorts, but a word or two of either language goes a long way.

• Hola, OH-lah, Hello

• Bon dia, bon DEE-ah, Good morning (Catalan)

• Si us plau, see oos PLOW, Please (Catalan)

• Gracies, GRAH-see-es, Thank you (Catalan)

• Una cerveza, por favor, OO-nah ther-VEH-thah por fah-VOR, A beer, please

• La cuenta, lah KWEN-tah, The bill

• Que guay, keh GWY, How cool
