Where is Mallorca?

The largest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca (or Majorca) floats 125 miles off the coast of Central Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. Ibiza and Formentera lie to the west, and Menorca to the east.

How to get to Mallorca?

Palma de Mallorca Airport is served by direct flights from Spain and select European cities. Those flying in from the United States will need to transfer through Barcelona Airport. Ferries connect Mallorca with the ports of Barcelona, Valencia, and Dénia in 6-8 hours. This is a good shout if you’ve already picked up a rental on the mainland.

What to do in Mallorca?

Sandy beaches, coves sculpted by the elements, a fusion of architectural styles, mountains, and farm-to-fork gastronomy make the island of Mallorca a kind of Spain in miniature. This is how you can fill those sunny Mediterranean days.

• Ride the vintage wooden train from Palma to Sóller.
• Take a snorkel trip or kayaking excursion to areas only accessible via boat.
• Hike, bike, or climb the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Sierra de Tramontana (Serra de Tramuntana) ravines.
• Track down Moorish edifices in Palma’s Old Town and eye Gaudí’s handiwork on the cathedral.
• Find your favorite beach; El Trenc, Cala Torta, Cala Deià, and Cala Mondragó are the most spectacular.
• Navigate your way to the subterranean lake at Drach Caves.
• Visit the house-museum of Robert Graves.
• Ogle the yachts in the ports of Palma, Alcúdia, and Sóller.
• Eat your bodyweight in Mallorcan soups, fresh seafood, and ensaïmadas (pastries).
• Sip a cocktail at a chiringuito (beach bar).
• Sleep in a finca.

Which side of Mallorca is best?

The south coast is the best area to stay in Mallorca if you want Palma’s landmark sights or nightlife at your fingertips plus proximity to the port or airport. North Mallorca – in and around Alcúdia – is a pared-back alternative to the south coast with a mix of beaches, restaurants, and amenities. Dominated by the Sierra de Tramontana range, the wild west coast is where to stay in Mallorca for hiking, cyclotourism, and upmarket villages. Make the east coast your base if you’re drawn to hidden coves and sea caves.

What is the prettiest area of Mallorca?

The landscape of Mallorca is varied and every inch of the island is worthy of attention. Marked by the mountainous Sierra de Tramontana, honey-colored villages, and turquoise inlets, the north coast of Mallorca stands out for its beauty spots and captivating architecture.

What is the most popular area in Mallorca?

Palma, Alcúdia, and Manacor are the most popular parts of Mallorca for a mix of everything. Celebrities are known to cocoon themselves around Deià. The best places to stay in Mallorca for tranquility are often on the outskirts of overlooked villages.

How do you get around Mallorca?

Beyond walkable Palma, you’ll need to rent a vehicle to explore Mallorca. The usual suspects – Avis, Europcar, and Hertz – have kiosks at Mallorca Airport and in Palma. A moped is an alternative means of getting around Mallorca while a bicycle is recommended for exploring locally. Many of the best Airbnbs in Mallorca are not accessible via public bus and taxis can soon add up.

How many days in Mallorca is enough?

Five days is the bare minimum for a stay in Mallorca. This way, you can get a flavor of Palma, the beaches, and the mountains as well as spend an afternoon or two languishing under the Mediterranean sunshine.

Is Mallorca expensive?

Efforts to combat over-tourism, protect the natural environment, and reshape the face of Mallorcan tourism have pushed costs up. That being said, the Balearic island remains a more affordable destination than Ibiza and popular vacation resorts in the United States. Mallorca Airbnbs tempt with generous long-stay discounts and are subject to lower nightly rates out of the peak summer months.

Where to stay in Mallorca, Spain?

Palma, the island capital, is where to stay in Mallorca if you want to be close to the airport and Old Town. Alcúdia on the north coast is the best area to stay in Mallorca with kids. Outdoorsy types should check out digs near the west coast where a bevy of activities including hiking, cycling, and rock climbing are available. Some of the best villa rentals in Mallorca are located inland among vineyards, olive plots, and gentle hills.

Wherever you choose to stay, it’s perfectly feasible to explore all of Mallorca provided you have a rental car. These extraordinary Mallorca Airbnbs include finca rentals, seaside villas, and private yacht charters.
