Llucmajor Holidays

If you want the real Majorca – not the beach resort version – Llucmajor is your spot. This authentic inland town is where Mallorcans actually live, surrounded by almond groves, olive trees and countryside that hasn't changed in centuries. It's the island's largest municipality by area, home to two cracking golf courses, Bronze Age ruins and proper Sunday markets where you'll hear more Mallorquín than English. Es Trenc beach is just 20 minutes away, Palma's 25 minutes in the other direction, and your rural finca retreat awaits. This is golf, culture and slow-living Majorca at its finest.
