There is an abundance of accommodation on Mallorca and the offering has markedly increased in quality over the last two decades.

The north of the island,particularly Pollensa, Port de Pollensa and Alcudia, has become a real hot spot for the British holiday maker with the large sandy beaches of the Bay of Alcudia attracting families.

The east coast is dotted with small beaches, coves and lowrise resorts such as Cala d ‘Or and Cala Ratjada which are very popular with package holiday operators bringing visitors from across Europe.

The palm fringed white sands of Playa de Palma east of the capital is a favourite spot for German holidaymakers and west of Palma lies the rather infamous Magaluf, now rebranded Calvia Beach in order to put its raucous past behind it.

There are numerous small resorts on the south west peninsula of the island such as Cala Vinyes, each with their own idyllic white sand beaches and über cool beach clubs. Further along the coast is the glitzy Port Adriano designed by Philipe Starck, with its yacht marina and, hugging the western point, Port d ‘ Andratx, a small fishing port which now attracts wealthy residents, celebrities and holiday makers.

The centre of the island has a seemingly endless choice of small hotels for singles and couples seeking the peace of the interior.
The Tramuntana Mountains which tower over the Sóller Valley and the Port de Sóller attract an international mix of travellers of all ages for cycling, beach time and year round walking.

Palma is pocket sized and a perfect short break destination. Very easy to get around and within easy access of the airport just 10 km away, there is an abundance of accommodation here from boutique hotels tucked away in the old town to larger hotels on the sea front.

Wherever you decide to hang your sun hat, you will not be disappointed. Everywhere is very easy to get to.
