Why visit Mallorca?
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.
