The north coast boasts some of Majorca's most stunning scenery: tiny coves, cliffs that suddenly plunge to the sea, and picturesque medieval villages to wander around. The interior is a vast plain of small industrial towns, farmlands, forests of olive and almond trees, all protected from the Mediterranean winds by the rugged mountains. The south is dominated by the cosmopolitan island capital, Palma , its handsome bay and popular beaches radiate from it. The east coast is a delightful mix of bays, long sweeps of beaches, coves and spectacular caves.

Since the 1960s Majorca has experienced a tourism boom and its popularity lies in its infinite variety. The island is perfect for the young and trendy, chic couples who just want to get away from it all, or for a Majorca family holiday .

The perfect deep blue Mediterranean, more than 300 days of sunshine and miles of coastline with secluded coves lure countless millions to choose a holiday in Majorca year after year. The dramatic cliffs of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range hug the coastline of the north and north west, from Port d'Andratx to the Cape of Formentor.

The string of resorts in Majorca island's south coast offer no shortage of thrills, from waterparks to air-conditioned shopping malls. Its beaches are among the best in Europe, whether you like wide, sunny expanses of sand, such as those at Alcudia, or sublime rocky coves, softened by the golden sands of Cala d'Or. And Majorca resorts run the entire holiday experience from the party-centered thrills of Magaluf, to the family-focused entertainments of Cala San Vicente, or Sa Coma, the easy-going atmosphere of Palma Nova or the prettily situated Puerto Pollensa in the north.
