Cala d'Or, MallorcaHoliday beach resort in the east of Majorca
Cala d'Or is the name given to a stretch of development along the east coast that includes a number of coves and resorts (Cala Ferrera, Cala Esmeralda, Cala Serena, Cala Gran & Cala Llonga). Each of the various calas (bays) has its own distinctive character where former fishing harbours have been turned into marinas. ...more
Cala Major, MallorcaTraditional beach resort just to the west of Palma de Majorca
Cala Major and its neighbour Sant Agusti were two of Mallorca's earliest resorts; now they are virtually suburbs of Palma. The tourists have moved elsewhere and there is a definite feel of an area that has seen better days. The king still comes though, to his summer residence Marivent, where frequent guests include Britain's Prince Charles. ...more
Cala Millor, MallorcaHoliday beach resort in the east of Majorca
Fifty years ago this was a lonely dune-covered shore; now it has become the major resort on Mallorca's east coast. The main attraction are its fine sandy beaches; from Cala Bona ('the good bay') to Cala Millor ('the better bay') they stretch unbroken for 2km. In summer it is 'lively', travel-agent speak for brash, and best avoided unless you like discos and late-night bars. ...more
Cala Ratjada, MallorcaTraditional beach resort in the north east of Majorca
This fishing port on Mallorca's eastern tip, surrounded by fine beaches and pretty coves, has two different characters depending on when you go. In winter it virtually shuts down, apart from a few permanent locals and a handful of bars on the promenade. In summer it is a crowded resort, with windsurfing, snorkelling and numerous discos, popular with the German community. ...more
Ciudad Jardin, Palma de MallorcaCharming beach resort to the west of Palma de Majorca
Cuidad Jardin lies to the east of Palma, just along the bay from Portixol. It has been heralded as the next 'up and coming' place for the cool and trendy set of Mallorca. With a lovely white sandy beach and a promenade that takes you either back to Palma or east to Playa de Palma, it has glorious south-westerly views of the Bay and Palma. ...more
Colonia de Sant Jordi, MallorcaTraditional beach resort in the south east of Majorca
Once the port for the market town of Campos, Colonia de Sant Jordi is now a busy resort, on a rocky promontory close to Mallorca's southern tip. Its small beach looks out over several islets, with good views all the way to Cabrera. And this is the main reason to come here - boats run regularly to the National Maritime Park of Cabrera - an archipelago of islands about 10km to the south. ...more
Magaluf, MajorcaHoliday beach resort in the south west of Majorca
Magaluf is probably one of the most famous beach resorts in Europe. Incredibly popular with British package holiday makers, it has a reputation for drinking games, wet T-shirt contests and teenagers throwing up on the beach - foreign TV crews would flock here to film scenes that would give any parent nighmares! For some, Magaluf - more than anywhere else in Majorca - has been blighted by the curse of mass tourism. For others, Magaluf offers the best holiday experience of your life. ...more
Palma Bay, MallorcaFrom Playa de Palma to Magaluf, & the capital city of Palma de Majorca
The good, the bad and the ugly sides of Mallorcas tourist development meet along a 25-km stretch of coast. Tacky resorts sit next to exclusive retreats, it seems that everyone wants a slice of Palma Bay. One moment you can be in Portals Nous, with its chic marina crammed with millionaires' yachts, the next in seedy Magaluf, all British pubs and wet T-shirt contests. ...more
Palma Nova, MallorcaHoliday beach resort in the south west of Majorca
There are people who can remember when this was just a village; then along came the tourist boom, and 'new Palma' became the favoured resort of the British. More restrained than Magalluf, less exclusive than Portals Nous, Palma Nova occupies a prime position on the western side of the bay of Palma. ...more
Peguera, MallorcaHoliday beach resort in the south west of Majorca
This beach resort, popular with German tour operators, was the first in Mallorca to have its own artificial beach, created from imported sand. Once on the main road from Palma to Andratx, it has become much more peaceful since the construction of a bypass and the opening in 1996 of a seafront promenade. ...more
Port d'Alcudia, MallorcaHoliday beach resort in the north west of Majorca
As the name suggests, this was once just a port serving a city - now the port has completely outgrown the town that it serves. The biggest of the resorts on Mallorca's northeast coast, it stands at the head of a 10-km stretch of sandy beach which continues around the bay of Alcudia as far as Can Picafont. ...more
Port d'Andratx, MallorcaCharming beach resort in the south west of Majorca
Dress up to come here, or you will feel seriously out of place. Port d'Andratx is one of Mallorca's classiest resorts, popular with the yachting fraternity and with film stars whose Italian-style villas can be seen climbing up the hillsides. But don't let that put you off; come here all the same. ...more
Port de Pollenca, MallorcaHoliday beach resort in the north west of Majorca
This genteel, old-fashioned resort at the mouth of Pollenca bay is particularly popular with families, and with older visitors in winter. There is also a large community of foreign residents, mostly retired British. The promenade along Passeig Voramar, all whitewashed villas and pine trees leaning into the sea, is perfect for an early evening walk. ...more
Port de Soller, MallorcaCharming beach resort on the west coast of Majorca
Port of Soller is a wonderful little village situated in one of Mallorca's most beautiful horseshoe harbours. Surrounded by the Tramuntana mountains, this town has the best of both worlds - magnificent mountain scenery and a sea view to boot. It has not been over-developed in the past and this fact is being taken advantage of now by attempts to turn it into a sophisticated holiday destination. ...more
Portals Nous, MallorcaHoliday beach resort in the south west of Majorca
Portal Nous sits above the rather more glamorous Puerto Portals, but it is a pleasant enough resort in its own right. It's popular with British second home owners, probably because of its proximity to Palma and its location on the south west coast. There are quite a few high rise apartment blocks and suburbs of private villas, but not many hotels. ...more
Portixol, Palma de MallorcaCharming beach resort right next to Palma de Majorca
The former fishing village of Portixol lies at the end of the promenade running along Playa de Palma. The charming little village has recently moved from "up-and-coming" to cool in it's own right and the sea front properties, former fisherman's cottages, have become highly sought after. Contemporary bars and restaurants line the sea front. ...more
Porto Colom, MallorcaTraditional beach resort on the east coast of Majorca
This fishing village, once the port for Felanitx, was named in honour of Christopher Columbus, who is said - without much evidence to have been born here. Until the late 19th century Porto Colom was busy supplying wine to France; but when phylloxera killed the vines, its role as a post diminished and it has only recently discovered a new life as a tourist resort. ...more
Porto Cristo, MallorcaTraditional beach resort on the east coast of Majorca
This was one of the main resorts on the east coast until Cala Millor came along. With bigger and better beaches elsewhere, Porto Cristo has carved out a role as a friendly, family resort, taking advantage of a superb position at the end of a long, sheltered inlet. It's sweet little place, with a nice beach and a lovely blue-green sea. ...more
Puerto Portals, MallorcaChic marina on the south west coast of Majorca
Puerto Portals is the very smart marina attached to the town of Portal Nous. Come here for glamorous shopping, fascinating people watching, expensive drinking, and of course, the flashy boats moored in the marina. It's a real international place - think of a smaller Monte Carlo and you're nearly there. ...more
Sant Elm, MallorcaPretty beach resort in the south west corner of Majorca
Sant Elm is a lovely spot, located in the far south west corner of Mallorca. With the foothills of the Tamuntana mountains behind it, and wonderful crystal clear waters to the front, it has a certain Caribbean-esque feel, with a scattering of palm trees and lush countryside. ...more
