The popular travel reviews website Tripadvisor have compiled their Travelers' Choice Awards Best of the Best for 2026. Once more, Mallorca features prominently in many categories, including being hailed as the 10th most popular destination in the world.
The most popular destinations list features, according to Tripadvisor "the spots that travellers raved about most on Tripadvisor this year" and includes cities like London and Paris, as well as beach destinations like Crete, Bali or our beloved Mallorca. But it's not only its long stretches of golden sand and crystalline waters that the reviewers have raved about but also the myriad of things to do, from waterparks, aquariums and theme parks (like Katmandu Park) to sights like Palma Cathedral or the vintage Sóller train.
However, there's no denying that Mallorca's popularity stems from its world-renowned beaches. And, among the over 200 beaches the island has, Tripadvisor users have chosen Playa de Muro as their favourite, standing as the 12th best in the world and 6th best in Europe.
Mallorcan hotels are also among Tripadvisor users' favourites in Spain. There are a whopping seven Mallorcan hotels mentioned in the Best of the Best Top 25 hotels in Spain, including the Sant Jaume Design Hotel which comes in at no.4, and Es Princip at no.8.
