Why visit Mallorca?

The long stretches of sandy beaches and turquoise waters are utterly divine – the water is warm and perfect for swimming, snorkelling, or trying your hand at water sports.
Adventurers will enjoy the rockier parts of the coast where you can get involved in ‘coasteering‘ – a mix of rock-climbing, abseiling, scrambling and cliff-jumping.
The weather is warm and sunny throughout most of the year, making it an idyllic choice for out of season holidays.

Since the 1950s, Mallorca has been a sun-seekers paradise known for its blissful beaches, mouth-watering Mediterranean cuisine and lush countryside. From snorkelling in the deep blue to gauping at historical sites such as the 14th century wall in Alcudia’s Old Town, you’ll never been stuck for things to do on a Mallorca holiday. Visit the colourful markets for fresh, local produce, spend an afternoon catching some rays on the beach and dedicate days to explore the beautiful landscapes (we recommend renting some bikes for this).

All of that and only a two and a half hour plan ride from London airports, Mallorca holidays are about as child-friendly as they come.

Food and drink in Mallorca

Whether you’re into the finer dining experiences or prefer to pick up fresh produce from the market and whip up your own take on the local delicacies, Mallorca is brimming with foodie delights.

Mallorcan cuisine shares many influences with Spain – pork, olive oil, garlic and peppers are all staples. The island’s chefs are understandably passionate about their produce, and have set themselves to taking Mallorcan cooking into a new era. Want to test them out?

Top Tips

Peak season runs through the summer months but if you’re hoping for a quieter getaway try visiting in Autumn when the weather is still warm and the crowds are lesser.
The Mallorcans eat a lot later than us Brits, with dinner being served around 9pm or later, so bear this in mind if you’re travelling with little ones.

What Oliver loves

The sheer variety of experiences on offer! From lively nightlife and gastranomic foodie experiences to chilled beach days and adrenaline-fuelled activities, Mallorca is a holiday paradise!

Top Tips

The larger cities have a noticeable lack of free parking lots. Drivers should be aware of this and check out where to park beforehand – underground parking lots are always a good shout.
The main mode of transport in Mallorca is the bus so make sure to carry change with you for bus fares. The fare will vary in regards to how far you travel and will be paid when boarding the bus.

Getting there and around

Mallorca is both easily accessible for flying in to as well as easy to get around – you can pretty much drive across the island in less than four hours. We’ve pulled together a small guide on the best ways to get around Mallorca.

By flight

Mallorca is very accessible, with direct flights from multiple airports in the UK. Flights only take 2.5 hours from London to the international Palma de Mallorca Airport.

By car

If you’re staying inland or in one of the more remote coastal areas, hiring a car will probably be necessary. There are several local firms as well as multinational staples, but once you’ve got your own set of the wheels the entirety of the island is yours to explore! Companies like Europcar, Hertz and Avis all provide services direct from the airport.

Public Transport

Thanks to decades of tourism, Mallorca is easy to get around, with a well-developed road and bus network, three train lines and a Metro service operating within Palma. With so much to see, we highly recommend hiring a vehicle – check out our activities section for some original ideas on that front. If you prefer public transport, your first stop will be Palma’s Intermodal Station, reached by the 1 and 21 buses from the airport. From there, local EMT buses and Metro services will get you around the city, TIB (Transport de les Illes Balears) buses will take you to destinations further afield, and trains will take you to the towns of Inca, Sa Pobla and Manacor.

By Taxi

There’s an abundance of taxi companies on Mallorca to help get you to where you need to go – though as with many destinations, it’s worth booking in advance (if possible) and agreeing on a price with the driver before heading out.

By Bicycle

Touring Mallorca by bike is a fantastic way to see the island (Bradley Wiggins is a big fan) and there are loads of places to hire cycles from – your luxury villas might even include them as part of your rental.
