About the area

Spain’s largest island, Mallorca has 340 miles of coastline - ranging from rocky coves to 30 miles of beautiful sandy beaches. Flights to Palma take under 3 hours from the UK. Our search today focuses around its capital, Palma which has a pretty Old Town and a great blend of historical sites as well as all the mod cons and a popular sandy beach. In the centre are pretty pedestrianised streets, filled with shops, and the main square is lined with cafes, bars and restaurants. There’s also the impressive 13th Century Cathedral to explore, as well as the marina which often hosts super yachts and is surrounded by luxury hotels. In fact, Richard Branson is soon to open an exclusive new resort nearby so this island really is the place to be.
