Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain - “I'm in love! Mallorca without travel agencies. Where to live and where to go by car. Beaches. Lots of letters and lots of photos. " Resorts in Mallorca Where are the best resorts in Mallorca

Mallorca is one of the largest islands that make up Spain, located on the Balearic archipelago in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. I believe that this is truly a heavenly place where you can enjoy picturesque landscapes, clean beaches and forget about all everyday problems.

This small island, whose area is only 3.5 thousand square kilometers, is slightly different from the usual resorts in Spain, and all because throughout its long history it managed to be at the disposal of the Phoenicians, Romans, and of course, the Arabs. Therefore, the culture here is really very rich!

My acquaintance with this wonderful island began from its capital - Palma de Mallorca. It is here that all its main attractions are concentrated.

As soon as I left the airport, I was struck by the long palm alley that led arriving tourists to the parking lot. The palm trees there are truly majestic, the size of three-story houses! You look and can’t believe your eyes that just 4 hours ago you were in a gray rainy city, and now you find yourself among such beauty!

And when you drive directly into the capital itself, your eyes begin to widen. You look to the left - a turquoise-colored sea, look to the right - a majestic cathedral, and right in front of you - high mountains.

Here you want to photograph absolutely everything, so I advise you to free up memory on your phone, tablet and camera in advance, because you will constantly have the desire to capture this or that place!

How to get there

There are two types of transport to get to Mallorca: air and water.

Of course, the most frequently used and comfortable option is air. In the capital of the island, Palma, there is an international airport, from where airliners of various European airlines depart every half hour and where they land just as often.

As for water communication, Palma has the main port of the island, where ships from different parts of Spain arrive daily, which is very convenient for tourists who spend most of their time on the mainland, for example, in Barcelona or Valencia, and on weekends go on excursions to Palma.

You can get around the island itself by bus, car or train.

By plane

The main and only airport of the island, which bears the name Son San Joan , located 8 kilometers from the capital Palma de Mallorca. This is where both external and internal flights arrive. The airport has very good connections with various European countries, including Russia.

Flights from Moscow

There are direct flights to Mallorca from Moscow (Domodedovo Airport): S7 airlines, the average cost of a round trip ticket is 20 thousand rubles. In addition, you can fly to the island on flights with one or more transfers, operated by the Spanish airline Iberia also from Domodedovo Airport for the same price (about 20 thousand rubles). It is worth noting that there are several other European airlines that fly to Palma with transfers, for example:

  • Finnair;
  • Lufthansa;
  • Swiss;
  • Czech Airlines;

But then the flight time will be more than 20 hours, which is completely inconvenient and not worth the money. Therefore, I advise you to choose a direct flight!

In this case, the travel time will be only 4.5 hours, so I recommend not saving on tickets and not spending the whole day on endless transfers.

You can compare prices yourself, for example.

How to get from the airport to the city

You can get from the airport to the city center either by bus or by taxi.

Of course, a more economical option is a bus. Routes No. 1 and No. 17 constantly run here, which will take you to Palma for only 3 €. If you need to go to the resort town of Arenal, then bus number 21 goes directly to its center from here.

But a taxi will cost much more - the average cost of a trip will be 20 €, and if you are traveling in a group, you can order a minivan for 40 €.

In addition, you can rent a car directly at the airport, there is a wide range of car rental companies (Hertz, Avis, Europcar). The average rental price starts from 50 € per day. Details below.

By ferry

So, the second way to get to Mallorca is to sail from another part of Spain by ferry or high-speed catamaran. The latter depart daily to the island directly from:

  • Barcelona (4.5 hours drive),
  • Valencia (4-6 hours drive),
  • Menorca (2.5 hours drive),
  • Ibiza (3 hours drive)

The average ticket price is 40 € and depends on the characteristics of the ship.

How to get from the port to the center

The port of Palma de Mallorca is located 6 kilometers from the city center; if desired and in good physical condition, you can walk from there to the center along the promenade, enjoying beautiful views and a light breeze, or take bus number 1 for only 1.5 €.

The bus stop is located next to the port. Of course, you can catch a taxi and go to the Cathedral (the trip will cost 10 €).

When is the season? When is the best time to go

According to local residents, the island of Mallorca reveals itself to tourists in all its glory at the end of spring and continues to delight the eye until mid-autumn. This is the best period for relaxation!

As for winter, the Spaniards believe that at this time of year their life becomes very calm, quiet and even a little boring. Although the winter weather here is favorable (about +14 °C), there is absolutely nothing to do. Because you can’t even lie on the beach, swim, or enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it is not worth going to Mallorca in the low season (that is, from November to March). The only tourists on the island at this time are employees of companies who organize business meetings, trainings or business trips here.

Mallorca in summer

Like all resorts, the island of Mallorca is especially beautiful in the summer. It is at this time of year that the air and water temperatures reach their maximum and all the most beautiful flowers and shrubs of the island bloom everywhere. By the way, it was in Mallorca that I noticed a very large number of those same flowering evergreens, and this cannot but please the eye!

Of course, summer (especially July) is also vacation time, so there are a lot of tourists here, just like everywhere else. But since Mallorca is still an island and holidays on it are not cheap, wealthy Europeans and most often those over 35 or young families with children like to come here most of all. It is believed that holidays in Mallorca are quite calm and the pace of life is measured, so all young people who prefer nightclubs to evening boat rides go to the neighboring island, Ibiza. But at the same time, it cannot be said that Mallorca is a remote place suitable only for retirees: here you can also have fun and actively relax. But the most important treasure of the island is its incredibly beautiful nature! You will not see such landscapes as here anywhere!

By the way, the climate here is very pleasant; in summer the air temperature reaches about +30 °C, and in winter - +15 °C. But unfortunately, there is nothing to do in Mallorca in winter. Local residents say they experience a lull at this time of year. In fact, the island is inhabited by about a million people, so at a time when all the tourists go home, the island becomes empty and almost deserted. Residents calmly go about their daily affairs, and nothing special happens here. Therefore, I don’t recommend going here in winter, although if you are tired of the city bustle and noise, then here you can definitely be alone with yourself and nature. It’s not for nothing that the residence of the Spanish royal family is located here! Celebrities such as Claudia Schiffer, Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow also bought villas in Mallorca. Since Mallorca has catered to the discerning tastes of A-list stars, then you will certainly like it too!

Mallorca in autumn

The beginning of autumn in Mallorca is considered the velvet season, so until the end of September you can enjoy the bright sun and warm sea. But already from October the sun sets at 7 pm, and it becomes noticeably colder, the temperature reaches +7–8 °C.

Even from late October to early November, rain and thunderstorms become more frequent on the island. Therefore, at this time it is no longer worth vacationing in Mallorca.

Mallorca in spring

In spring, the high season gradually begins in Mallorca; already in March – April the air temperature reaches +20–23 °C, the warm, pleasant sun shines, and flowers begin to bloom. At this time you can’t swim yet, but you can already sunbathe.

The good thing about the island in spring is that there are still few tourists here, and you can have a quiet, relaxing holiday.

Mallorca in winter

Winter in Mallorca is a time of complete silence and serenity. The sun shines here quite often, and snow falls only in the mountains; it rarely reaches the lowlands. December is considered the month of rain, but January and February are characterized by pleasant, comfortable weather. The average daytime temperature reaches +14–15 °C.

The only caveat is that it is very boring here in winter, and this is the favorite time of year for retirees to relax.

Conditional areas. Descriptions and features

The island of Mallorca is divided into 7 main areas:

  • metropolitan,
  • central,
  • northwestern,
  • southern,
  • southwestern,
  • southeastern,
  • northeastern.

Capital area

Located closer to the southwestern part of the island, this is where the main attractions and the residence of the royal family are located. If you want to be in the center of all the events, then this is the place to live.

The city itself is quite noisy, there are crowds of tourists walking around, it is very hot and stuffy during the day, so I recommend renting an apartment or staying in a hotel, which is located a few kilometers from Palma. I lived near the beach of Cala Major - this is a typical Spanish resort suburb, there are many hotels, cafes, shops, a large public beach and several museums. In general, an ideal place for those who like a relaxed, but not too boring holiday. Housing here will be more expensive than in other areas, since this is the capital, that is, the most important area of ​​the island.

Southwestern region

This area of ​​the island is the most densely populated. Here are located such large cities as Illetas, Portals, Santa Ponsa, Paguera. It is best to come here with family and children, because in these places you can relax and enjoy the tranquility.

It is also here that the large Bendinat golf club is located, so the area is considered very prestigious and not at all cheap.

Northwestern region

Along the shore, in the shade of trees, there are townhouses and villas, which can be rented for the summer if desired, and here you can also admire beautiful mountain landscapes. Why isn't this a heavenly place?

Northern region

This area is famous for its unforgettable views and pristine beaches. It is here that the highest point of the island is located - Cape Formentor, from which a magnificent view of the sea opens. Housing in this place will be quite expensive due to the extraordinary beauty of nature and due to the proximity to “star” villas.

Large cities in the area: Alcudia and Polença. There is a port near Poyença, from where you can sail around the island on a yacht.

Northeast of the island

It is distinguished by its beauty and serenity. Once you settle here, you will forget about all the problems and bustle of the city.

In this area you will find a large number of traditional farmhouses and farms, and you will also have the opportunity to chat with friendly locals, who may invite you to try oranges grown in their garden or their homemade jamon (cured pork).

Southeast

It is essentially very similar to the northeast, agriculture and sailing are also common here, so if you want to get to know local life better and taste fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood, as well as immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the island, get acquainted with its cultural and historical component, then this is a great option!

Southern part of the island

But it is famous for its long beaches, sports bars and noisy discos. The largest resort town is Arenal. This is where the largest water park on the island is located, an amazing aquarium with sharks and stingrays, and many bars. The place is considered quite budget-friendly for recreation, so all young people live in this part, and accordingly, the prices for accommodation here are not bad compared to costs in other areas.

If you like a bright, cheerful holiday, then this is the place for you. And just to the south is the longest beach of the island - Es Trenc. It is distinguished by snow-white sand and a light blue sea.

central part

These are picturesque estates, almond orchards, pastures and olive fields. Another great place for a relaxing holiday, while being only half an hour from Palma.

Here is the large city of Inca, which is famous throughout the world for the production of high-quality leather goods, as well as the city of Sineu, which is definitely worth a visit to look at the magnificent churches and the former royal palace, as well as go to the largest fair on the island, which is held there on Wednesdays

I usually look for hotels on Booking, but you can check if there is a more attractive price somewhere.

Offers for renting private apartments can be viewed here.

What are the prices for holidays?

As I mentioned earlier, holidays on the island of Mallorca can be classified as luxury, and therefore here you will find hundreds of villas and apartments for rent, the price of which starts from 1.5 thousand € for 10 days.

In principle, if you compare this price with hotels, the difference will be insignificant. For the same 10 days in a 3-star hotel in any area of ​​the island, you will pay an average of about 1.7 thousand €, and in a 5-star hotel - about 4 €.

If you consider that in your apartments you will cook on your own, and in hotels you will use the all-inclusive service, then your costs will be approximately the same.

Therefore, it is up to you to decide what is more convenient, but personally, I lived in a good 3-star hotel, where, in addition to all-inclusive meals, there is a free gym, bar, swimming pool and, of course, themed parties!

TOP 5 best hotels on the island

I would like to present to you my TOP 5 best hotels on the island:

  • Globales Simar 4* (from 1.7 thousand € for 10 days for two).
  • Barcelo Ponent Playa 3* (from 1.3 thousand € for 10 days for two).
  • Globales Palmanova 4* (from 2.1 thousand € for 10 days for two).
  • Insotel Cala Mandia Resort & Spa 4* (from 4.2 thousand € for 10 days for two).
  • Blue Bay Hotel 3* (from 1.2 thousand € for 10 days for two).

You can find out about prices for ready-made tours (with flights, transfers, accommodation and insurance) to hotels of different categories in the Travelask section.

Expenses

So, if you decide to stay at a hotel, then there will be no problems with food, and if you decide to rent an apartment or villa, then you have the option of shopping in supermarkets, of which there are quite a few on the island. One of the most popular, which often catches my eye, is Eroski. This is a common supermarket chain in Spain where you can buy everything from bread to hand cream at average Spanish prices.

If you buy groceries for a week, the average bill will be about 60 €. You can also visit restaurants and cafes, which will be quite expensive, considering that the average bill will be 50–60 €.

You can go on excursions either independently or with a guide. Mallorca is a small island; you can get from Palma to Alcudia in just an hour and a half, that is, traveling the length and breadth of the island in one day will not be difficult.

You can rent a car for 50–70 € per day and go explore the island yourself, or you can travel by bus for only 6 €. A group excursion with a guide on your own rented bus will cost approximately 100 €. A trip around the island by taxi will cost about 80–90 €.

Main attractions. What to see

Mallorca is famous for its variety of attractions and incredibly beautiful places that you must visit.

If you like to learn all the smallest details and interesting facts about certain attractions, you can hire a guide or book a full-fledged excursion. And if you like to independently walk through beautiful places and discover something new on your own, then you can explore everything on your own.

It is worth choosing a day for the excursion in advance; it is advisable to select one of the weekdays (except Friday), since on weekends the locals begin to have a siesta and rest, and there are too many people on the streets who will prevent you from taking a good look at everything. Bad weather is extremely rare in Mallorca, so you shouldn’t be afraid of rain and cold weather, but you can still check the forecast before your walk, just in case.

The island's capital, Palma, is not very large, so you can walk around the city and see the main attractions.

The map below shows the main tourist spots, museums, galleries, bus stops and more.

I bring to your attention my option for one day in the capital of the island, Palma, I advise you to travel by Citysightseeing tourist bus (ticket price 18.5 €):

  • 10:00 - we go to Bellver Castle, which is located a couple of kilometers from the city. We will spend about 2 hours here.
  • 12:00 - we head to the Spanish village.
  • 13:30 - we will stop for lunch at the signature restaurant Sadrassana Restaurant Cocteleria (Placa Drassana, 15).
  • 15:00 - we go to the cathedral. Since this place is considered the main attraction of the city, we will spend about 2 hours here.
  • 17:00 - we’ll go out to the main tourist streets of Palma and take a walk, go to the Rivareno ice cream parlor (Plaza Llotja, 1) and enjoy the most delicious cold dessert on the island.
  • 20:00 - we will have a seafood dinner at the La Parada del Mar restaurant (Avenida Joan Miro 244 Marivent) and celebrate the end of a great day with a glass of sangria.

Top 5

Below I will give a list of places that, in my opinion, are definitely worth visiting in Mallorca to truly experience the atmosphere and culture of the island.

Cathedral

It is one of the most iconic buildings on the island of Mallorca. The cathedral began to be built in the 13th century, so now it is officially declared a cultural and historical monument of the island. This place is truly extraordinary!

Inside, the cathedral is decorated with colored stained glass windows by various artists, the main altar with four columns, which is decorated with a canopy made by Gaudi himself. It is also home to one of the largest organs in Europe. Agree that this place cannot be ignored!

Address: Plaza Almoina, s/n, 07001 Palma de Mallorca.

Opening hours: Monday to Friday from 10 to 18:15.

Ticket price: 7 €/person.

Cape Formentor

This is one of the most visited places on the island! To visit Mallorca and not come to Formentor is a real crime. Formentor is located near the town of Poyensa and its main port. Its length is about 300 meters above sea level, so the views here are incredible: they will take your breath away. It is impossible to explain, you need to appreciate it with your own eyes!

Address: Cap de Formentor.

Opening hours: 24 hours a day.

Free admission.

Bellver Castle

A couple of kilometers from the city of Palma, on the top of a hill, is the medieval castle of Castell de Belver. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is the only round Gothic castle in Europe built in the Middle Ages.

It used to be the summer residence of the King of Spain, and later served as a prison, whose prisoners included such famous personalities as the writer Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos and the widow of King Jaime III. The castle has a large observation deck, which offers beautiful views of Palma and its surroundings.

Address: Carrer Camilo José Cela, s/n, 07014 Palma.

Opening hours: 8:30-20:00.

Ticket price: 2.5 €/person.

Spanish village

There is a wonderful place in Palma where tourists have the opportunity to see the most important buildings in Spain and feel the atmosphere of different cities. This place is called the Spanish Village.

In addition to the main attractions, you can visit small souvenir shops and cafes with delicious tapas.

Beaches. Which ones are better

Mallorca is an ideal place for a beach holiday; it is on this island that there are dozens of the best beaches in Spain, and what about Spain, the whole world! In fact, no matter what beach you come to here, it will definitely be quiet, cozy and clean. Even not far from Palma in the resort areas where thousands of tourists vacation, they are very worthy! But the best places to soak up the sun and enjoy swimming in clear sea water are secluded coves, of which there are many in Mallorca.

As I wrote above, I was vacationing in the Cala Mayor area, a few kilometers from the capital, and one day, quite by accident, I wandered into a cove where there was a small beach, and the sea there was crystal clear! There weren’t very many vacationers there, mostly locals and tourists like me, who most likely also found this piece of paradise by chance.

And yet I will give a list of the best of the best beaches in Mallorca that are worth visiting if only to understand what heaven on earth is.

Beach Cala S "Almunia

This beach is located in the bay of the town of Santanya and is surrounded by rocks; serenity and tranquility reign here. By the way, the beach has all the conditions for diving, and the soft azure waves will allow you to enjoy the sea to the fullest. But it is worth considering that the infrastructure on the beach is not developed, so there are no restaurants, no toilets, no showers and changing cabins.

The type of coating is pebble, the entry into the water is gentle.

Address: Diseminado Poligono 3, 594, 07690 Santanyí.

Cala Mondragó beach

Another truly heavenly place in Mallorca. The beach is located on the territory of the natural park of the same name among pine trees and rocks. Even though this place is quite popular, you can enjoy peace and quiet here. By the way, this beach is shallow, so it is perfect for families with children. It is possible to rent umbrellas and sun loungers here, and there is also a cafe where you can buy soft drinks and snacks.

The type of beach is sandy, the entry into the water is gentle.

Address: Cala Mondragó, Balearic Islands.

Beach Es Trenc

The length of Es Trenc is 2 kilometers. Its peculiarity is that it is the only beach on the island that has not been affected by urbanization, so it looks very exotic and is ideal for romantic dates and walks. You can also rent umbrellas and sun loungers here.

The shore is sandy, the entry into the water is gentle.

Address: Ma-6030, 68, 07639 Mallorca, Illes Balears.

Beach Playa de Formentor

Formentor beach, as you may have guessed, is located near the famous cape of the same name. And, of course, it is also famous for its beauty and wonderful views. The beach stretches for one and a half kilometers, it is surrounded by pine trees, under which it is pleasant to lie down in the summer heat. The sea here is shallow and very clean, and near the beach there are dozens of cafes and restaurants where you can have a delicious lunch. Prices in establishments vary, the average bill for lunch will be about 10–15 €.

Beach type: sandy, gentle entry into the water.

Address: Carrer Zona Formentor, 66A, 07460.

Beach Cala de Sa Calobra

And to top it off, perhaps the most magical bay on the entire island, where a small pebble beach is located between the rocks of the Sierra de Tramuntana. This place is definitely worth getting to! Once you see the splendor that Sa Calobra offers, you will forever keep in your heart the memories of that wonderful day when you arrived here! But it is worth noting that there are no amenities on the beach, so it is advisable to take care in advance and take everything you need with you.

The shore type is rocky, the entry into the water is gentle.

Address: Carrer Port De Sa Calobra.

Churches and temples. Which ones are worth visiting?

Despite the fact that Mallorca is an island, there are quite a lot of churches and monasteries here. By the way, services are held in all the existing ones, and any tourist can visit these temples and admire their interior decoration.

Church of St. Francis

The church is located in Palma, it was built in the 13th century, better known as a Gothic monastery that houses the tomb of the Catalan philosopher Ramon Llull.

Opening hours: 9:30–12:30 and 15:10–18:00.

Address: Basilica de Sant Francesc, 07001 Palma, Islas Baleares.

Monastery of Senhora de Cura

This monastery is located on top of a half-kilometer hill in the Randa Valley. Its distinctive feature is that most of the island is visible from here, and a bar and observation deck were recently opened here. This place is worth visiting for great views and great photos.

Opening hours: 9:30–18:00.

Address: Puig de Randa, S/N, 07629 Randa, Illes Balears.

Address: Santuari de Sant Salvador, 07208 Felanitx, Islas Baleares.

Monastery of Luc

This medieval monastery is very revered by the residents of Mallorca; it is considered the religious center of the island! There are wonderful gardens here, as well as a large museum. There is even an inexpensive hotel next to the monastery, and all because it is very beautiful here and the picturesque Sierra de Tramuntana mountains are nearby.

Opening hours: 10–13:30 and 14:30–17:00

Address: Plaza Peregrins, 1, 07315 Lluc, Mallorca, Islas Baleares.

Museums. Which ones are worth visiting?

There are quite a few museums in Mallorca, perhaps because the incredible nature here compensates for all the cultural institutions here. Below I have selected a few of the most interesting of them, which are really worthy of the attention of tourists.

Museum of Ceramics

In the northeast, not far from Palma, is the small town of Sa Cabaneta, which is considered the center of ceramics production. A museum opened here in 2002, displaying around a thousand traditional Mallorcan ceramics that are worth seeing. The museum houses a pottery school and various souvenir shops.

Museum address: Carrer del Molí, 4.

Free admission. The museum is open from Monday to Friday from 9 to 13:30.

Raiha Estate

12 kilometers from Palma on the way to the town of Sawyer is a beautiful manor house, which is an object of historical and artistic value in Mallorca. Previously, there was a Moorish building here, and after several changes of owners it came to the Count of Montenegro and was ennobled. There are incredibly beautiful landscapes, large gardens and beautiful architecture.

Museum address: Palma - Sóller Road, km. 12.2 07110 Bunyola.

Free admission. Muse It is open from Monday to Friday from 10 to 14:00, and also from 16:00 to 20:00; on Saturday the museum is open from 10 to 13:00.

Parks

The island of Mallorca can be called one big park, wherever you go you will be surrounded by small picturesque bays, green spaces, majestic mountains and endless open spaces. But still, the island has several national parks and nature reserves worthy of attention.

Parc Natural de Mondrago

It is pleasant to walk in this park during the intense heat, because numerous coniferous trees will protect you from the scorching sun. There are several specific routes, walking along which you can meet forest inhabitants.

Nearby Islands

If you are vacationing in Mallorca, I advise you to choose a day or a whole weekend and devote it to a trip to Ibiza.

Balearia ferries depart from the main port of Palma to the port of Ibiza several times a day. The duration of the trip is approximately 3-4 hours, the average ticket price ranges from 50 to 70 euros per person. Ferries from the Transmediterranea company also run from Mallorca to Ibiza, but please note that they only run on Sundays in the summer.

Details and schedule can be found on the company's official website.

In Ibiza, you can walk around the island's capital of the same name and look at its protective walls, which were built here in the Middle Ages. It is also worth visiting the Punic Necropolis, and be sure to visit the picturesque bay of Cala d’Hort.

Food. What to try

At first you might think that there are no traditional dishes in Mallorca, and that everyone there eats the usual Spanish gazpacho, tapas and tortillas. But I was surprised when I found out that this small island has its own national dishes that you cannot try on the mainland.

Mallorquina soup

It consists of a broth with vegetables and pork and is served with sliced ​​bread.

The soup is incredibly tasty and very filling, which is why it is so loved by locals.

Tumbet

It contains vegetables, namely potatoes, eggplants and onions.

And also add meat or fish to taste.

Sobrasada

Be sure to try it - it is a moderately spicy sausage made from minced pork and bacon, very reminiscent of chorizo, popular in Spain, since their cooking technology is very similar.

Ensaimada

And for dessert, don't forget to enjoy this delicious Mallorcan layer cake. It is rightfully considered the most favorite sweet of local residents.

The ensaymada dough is airy, melting in your mouth, the pie itself is filled with whipped cream or delicate syrup, and the top is generously sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Beverages

Popular local drinks include liqueurs: Herbas secas (dry) and Herbas dulces (sweet). They are infused with anise with the addition of various aromatic herbs.

A very popular aperitif on the island is Palo, made by mixing sweet caramel with bitter cinchona bark.

Here I will give a list of the best restaurants on the island:

  • Es Raco d'es Teix (average bill is 50–70 €);
  • Salvia Restaurant (average bill is 20 €);

As the locals joke, in Mallorca every day is a holiday! And this is completely justified: the wonderful climate, beautiful nature and endless sea help ensure that the inhabitants of the island are always in a great mood. But there are also several official holidays here.

Carnival of Sant Rua

A special holiday in Mallorca is the Sa Rua carnival. Here it is held in winter, in the first half of February.

Decorated residents in costumes take to the streets of the capital and organize a procession. The carnival is held before the start of Catholic Lent.

Mallorca Day

This holiday is celebrated on September 12; it was adopted by King Jaime II back in 1276, when the island of Mallorca was liberated from Muslims.

On this day, concerts and fairs are organized on the island.

Safety. What to watch out for

The island of Mallorca seemed to me a very calm and safe place. Of course, you shouldn’t rule out pickpocketing, which is widespread in Europe, but in general, walking around Palma and its surroundings in the evening is not at all scary, because in the summer life here is in full swing until late at night.

In large stores and supermarkets you will definitely not be deceived, and in small souvenir shops you can recalculate your purchase amount and the change received, just in case, although in general it is not common here to openly profit from tourists.

Therefore, in Mallorca you should not be wary of anything serious, but basic simple safety rules should still be followed.

Things to do

Mallorca has a lot of things to do, you can explore all the beaches of the island and go snorkeling, or you can immerse yourself in its cultural life and visit the most important museums, temples and other historical attractions of the island.

You can also go to Cape Formentor, admire the wonderful scenery and arrange a photo shoot there. Or go to the eastern part of the island to meet the owners of local farms and try their traditional dishes. Don't forget about shopping; you should definitely go to the center of leather goods - the city of Inca. There are a lot of options, choose what you like and enjoy your vacation!

Even though Mallorca is a fairly small island, shopping here is a pleasure! And all because here you can find exclusive things that are produced only in the Balearic Islands!

Shopping and shops

Even though Mallorca is a fairly small island, shopping here is a pleasure! And all because here you can find exclusive things that are produced only in the Balearic Islands!

An excellent example is the traditional summer sandal - avarki. The neighboring island of Menorca is considered their homeland. They are made from genuine leather, in various colors - standard plain or decorated with beads, bright prints, and rhinestones. In Mallorca they are sold both in small shoe stores and in tanneries, for example in the city of Inca. These unusual sandals can be a great souvenir for family and friends, and will look great with both shorts and flowy dresses. Their cost varies depending on the materials from which they are made, but the average price of avarok is around 30 € per pair.

And this is where the famous artificial pearl factory is located. Majorica . If you find yourself in a company store, you definitely won’t be left without a purchase! Pearl beads and bracelets, earrings and pendants are distinguished by their elegance and excellent quality. Prices for pearls vary, for example, the average cost of a pearl necklace is about 300 €, but a pearl bracelet will cost you 100 €. By the way, the factory’s products have a 10-year warranty!

Of course, don’t forget about leather products. Head straight to the city of Inca, where leather factories and shoe and accessory shops are located at every turn. Popular shoe manufacturers here are: Camper, Bestard, Jaime Mascaro, Barrats, Tomeu, Bestard.

In Palma, go shopping in the areas: A vinguda Jaume III And Passeig des Born, as well as many shops you will find on the pedestrian street around Plaza Mayor. The tourist map of Palma, where all the main streets are marked, will again help you not to get lost.

As throughout Spain, the most popular shopping center here is considered El Corte Ingles (Address: Alexandre Rosselló, 12-16). There are 3 stops near the shopping center:

  • 422 Grans Magatzems (buses no. 1, 15, 23, 30 stop here).
  • 195 Grans Magatzems (buses no. 2, 6, 12, 19, 41, 46).

And don’t forget that high-quality leather goods are made in the city of Inca, so feel free to buy bags, belts and shoes.

How to get around the island

There are different ways to move around the city and the island itself.

The most interesting one is on the island's historic electric train. It starts from the Palma de Mallorca train station (Carrer Eusebi Estada, 1), travels along the island, winding between mountains and plains, and stops at the Sawyer train station.

In addition, the island has high-speed trains that run on several routes:

Mallorca - holidays with children

Holidays in Mallorca with children are a great idea as you can really enjoy the peace and quiet and the children will be impressed by the picturesque scenery and encounters with wild animals that you can find in the Natura Park, on the ostrich farm or in the nature reserves. When traveling with a child, you should pay attention to the southwestern, northern or eastern part of the island - in such places there are few noisy young people and parties, so here you can truly relax and gain strength.

Mallorca is a marvelous island! Where is the best place to relax in Mallorca?, today we will tell you and share our experience.

I suggest starting with educational facts. The island has 2 names: Mallorca and Mallorca. To understand, so to speak, the scale of the island, let’s find out its area, which is about 3,600 square km.

How big is the island of Mallorca? For comparison, here are some numbers:

  1. The area of ​​Moscow is on average about 2500 square km,
  2. area of ​​St. Petersburg – approximately 1400.

Those. the island of Mallorca is like Moscow and St. Petersburg combined! I think that the size is wow! Mallorca is surrounded by greenery, in addition, if you think about the island, you immediately remember this azure clear sea, uniquely beautiful beaches, beautiful bays, steep cliffs, plains emitting an indescribable fresh aroma of pine, mountains, pure mountain lakes, olive groves, vineyards.

In a word, the beauty of nature on the island is truly mesmerizing!


By the way, such famous personalities as Boris Becker (world-class tennis player - Olympic winner, first racket of the world), Claudia Schiffer, Michael Douglas, Enrique Iglesias bought mansions in Mallorca.

Areas of Mallorca where it is better to relax

We list the most popular places, Where is the best place to relax in Mallorca?

  1. Playa de Palma
  2. Magaluf
  3. Santa Ponsa
  4. El Arenal
  5. Cala d'Or
  6. Porto Cristo
  7. Alcudia.

In general, I would highly recommend Mallorca for youth holidays. Everything here hums and seethes until the morning. But a holiday in Mallorca will also appeal to married couples with children, as well as those who simply dream of solitude and relaxation. Absolutely everyone should visit Mallorca, as this island is incredibly beautiful and wonderful! It is only important to choose a resort that suits your spirit in order to ensure that you are satisfied with your vacation.

Playa de Palma and Magaluf are more party places. Fast foods, cafes, bars, restaurants, clubs, shops, a long and very beautiful beach - everything is nearby, you don’t have to go far.


Somehow it happened historically that Playa de Palma was chosen by the Germans. Coming here, sometimes it even seems like you are in Germany, since German speech is heard everywhere. The Germans relax in a very unique way; rivers of alcohol are an important component! They shout, sing, laugh, everything is very friendly, no fights.

Magaluf is a resort with an equally developed infrastructure, a place where the British love to relax. Everything here is pretty much the same as on Playa de Palma, only the British behave more violently and loudly on vacation.

If you are traveling with little explorers, then you are interested in information Mallorca, where is the best place to relax with children?? In principle, any place is suitable for relaxing with children. The sea is very clean everywhere, the entrance is gentle, entertainment can be found on almost any beach. Therefore, here you need to choose according to your taste, and kids in Mallorca will like it everywhere.

I have an interesting review where I compare 2 Spanish resort islands.

Mallorca captivates with a variety of exotic landscapes, especially beautiful bays, and moderate temperatures. It should be remembered that each resort on the island is a unique corner with its own traditions and characteristics. That is why it is always difficult to decide where is the best place to holiday in Mallorca.

Helpful information

  • coastline length: 554 km;
  • the most expensive and popular housing is private villas, the so-called “rural tourism”;
  • cheaper options - in the depths of the island;
  • July-September is the time for bullfighting;
  • August-September - “Copa del Rey” (sailing regatta for the King’s Cup).

Holidays according to interests

The variety of entertainment on the island is often baffling. Our classification will help you not to spoil your vacation and choose the best place to relax in Mallorca.

Classic holiday

Playa de Palma is a case in point. White sand, an endless beach area, all kinds of water attractions, restaurants just on the shore, huge shopping centers - everything awaits happy holidaymakers. The neighboring resort is also worth a visit. There is the same developed infrastructure and carefree life here.

Those who care about when is the best time to vacation in Mallorca should know that the climate here allows you to vacation all year round, but December and January are not entirely suitable for swimming - the water is 13-14 degrees. May-June and September-October are suitable for those who hate the heat. But July-August will delight those who want to get a good tan. The main thing is to decide what you expect from your holiday.

Hi all,

I am a very spoiled traveler and have visited many countries. There was a time when I traveled to different parts of the world every month or every other month for work and in most cases there was always the sea (Singapore, States, Dubai, Philippines, Europe).

Despite the stale taste, Mallorca simply amazed me. Impressions WOW.

What did I expect from my vacation? - Bread and circuses, well, that is. beautiful, warm sea and the opportunity to see something. Mallorca satisfied all requests.

We decided to go on our own, because... I don’t trust travel companies; I don’t fly charters on principle.

Flights

A ticket for one from Moscow cost 25 thousand rubles. a/k Lufthansa. We bought it 2 weeks before departure, if much in advance it would be MUCH cheaper. But the Aeroflot cost 40 thousand rubles, so it was canceled right away. I search for and buy tickets on the websites of Aviasales, Expedia, Orbitz or directly on the airline’s website. Payment by card on the website is secure.

Resort

There are a lot of resorts on the island: Magaluf, Palma Nova, Santa Ponsa, Illetas, Cala D'Or, Playa Del Muro, Soller. You can live in the capital Palma, but it is a whole city and is more expensive there, and there are not enough beaches.

My choice fell on the Magaluf resort. Half an hour drive from the airport and the capital.

What is good and bad about Magaluf?

1) Beautiful large beach, azure and warm sea. There are a lot of people, but they are all distributed and do not lie on each other

The sea is very warm! Unlike Costa Del Sol, the water is fresh milk.


2) Variety in prices. Magaluf is a resort for British students, so you can eat and live there very cheaply. Yes, the conditions will also be student conditions. So you can eat a burger with beer for 5 euros. More decent cafes are also forced to lower their prices. In a cafe by the sea you can buy 2 large pieces of salmon with salad for 12 euros and homemade red wine for 1.5.

At the same time, there are also expensive hotels such as Melia, ME and glamorous beach clubs where people come on yachts. For example, the famous Nikki Beach, where wine costs from $12 per glass and others. Beach House or beach club, this means that you can come there, drink, eat and swim in their pool, lie on sun loungers, etc. The price of food there is higher, but the food tastes better.

3) Crowds of young people hanging out. If you are with children, then I do not recommend going to Magaluf during the high season. The music is loud until 12 at night, but even after that it is quite noisy.


The young people hanging out didn’t bother me; it was very funny to watch. There are a lot of clubs, the kids get drunk by 11, but they behave decently. We didn’t go to clubs because... There are kids there who are 18-20 years old. For clubs it is recommended to go to Palma.

4) The general condition of the town is so-so, it is quite simple. Young people behave decently, although sometimes they are rowdy. There is garbage in the evening, but by morning everything is cleaned out. There are no cigarette butts like in Montenegro. If you want a more beautiful embankment and restaurants, then take a walk to the neighboring resort of Palma Nova, it is nicer and more expensive there.

5) There is not much shopping in Magaluf. There are a lot of stalls with Chinese junk, there are shops like Mango, Lacoste and local brands. There is a shopping center in Palma Nova (7 min walk).

6) But there is plenty of entertainment for both children and adults: a theme park, karting, a water park. You can go on a speed boat for an excursion (50 euros for 2 hours) or take a catamaran and sail on the sea (15 euros per hour for a catamaran).

Magaluf is a poor choice for families with small children. It's noisy there. I recommend visiting Palma Nova or Santa Ponsa.

Hotel

I traditionally looked for the hotel on Booking. I chose a simply wonderful 4-star from Melia Calvia Beach, because for me a good hotel is simply the main component of a beach holiday.

The hotel cost 100 thousand for 6 nights for two with breakfast and dinner included (without drinks). It was a promotion, if you make an advance payment, it would be about 130.

It was worth it! First of all, breakfast and dinner were absolutely wonderful. A buffet with incredible variety. Huge selection of fruits. For dinner there were grilled steaks, octopuses, fish, lobsters and a bunch of other food. Insanely delicious.

And the views from the hotel are just wow!

In the mornings, sometimes a violinist played and champagne was always poured:


Night views of Magaluf from the hotel restaurant:


View from a room with side sea view:


This hotel is located 30 meters from the water, i.e. you can lie by the pool and run for a swim. It is also at the very end of the beach, where there are fewer people and it is calmer.

The hotel bar is very expensive, so we ate and drank on the embankment:

There are also much cheaper accommodation options in Magaluf. On the beach I also liked Sol Barbados and Bahia Prinicple (with a gorgeous view too). There are also budget ones 300 - 500 meters away. The main thing is not to choose a party hotel where DJs play all night (for example, BH Apartments or Ibizza).

Excursions

We rented a car at Palma airport from Dollar Car. We booked and searched on the Expedia website. It cost about 200 euros with insurance for a week for a brand new Seat + 50 euros for gasoline. This is not the first time we have rented a car from this company, so there were no problems. Renting a car is cheaper than getting from the airport to the hotel yourself. We were looking for parking on the streets of Magaluf.

Excursion 1 in the Sierra De tramontana mountains

We did this circle in one day with stops in interesting places. Parking is paid everywhere, h Most often they only accept coins, so you need to change cash in advance.


We set out from Magaluf early in the morning. The roads are excellent, the views are wonderful. There are no traffic jams.


We first stopped at the village of Valldemosa

Nice, beautiful place.

It is located high in the mountains, the air is fresh and pleasant


By the way, the town can be reached from the capital Palma on a historical train

Then to the port of Soller, where trams run.

I didn’t like the port itself much: the beaches are a bit dirty, parking is a problem. You can have a snack with a view of the embankment or drink sangria.


But from Soller you can go up to the lighthouse to the observation deck. This is such a difficult road

But the views are like from a postcard



The serpentine itself is a landmark. Driving through it is a challenge for the driver and passenger: the roads are narrow, it’s hard to pass, it’s generally not easy to drive, and you also get motion sickness.

The views are very beautiful


Mountain restaurant with wine and delicious pizza. The sea is visible in the distance:

Prices are as below.

There are beautiful lakes along the way:


There is a monastery on the way Lluc and mountain village Sa Calobra with a lost beach. We no longer had time to stop there, because... our path lay to the northernmost point of the island. But, if you have time, I would divide this excursion into 2 days. 1 day in the mountains to Lluc, then descend from the mountains onto the highway and home. Day 2 - separate trip to Cape Formentor along the highway.

Cape and Lighthouse:


By that time I was already very seasick and had no time for beauty, although it was impressive and breathtaking.

And I was very glad to go down to Formentor beach and feel the solid ground under my feet:


I liked the beach itself less than in Magaluf. Small, cramped, a lot of people. Although there is a hotel there, Formentor, which is highly recommended. Not to my taste. From the cape I would have gotten to Playa Del Muro, but there was no time.

Excursion 2 Es Trenc beach and caves

Our next excursion was to Dragon Caves, which are located in the east of the island.

The ticket costs 20 Euros, the walk itself takes about an hour. There is an underwater river inside and classical music concerts are held.


Everything is beautifully lit.

From the caves we headed to the beach Es Trenc, it is considered the most beautiful in Spain.

He's really handsome:


I was unpleasantly surprised by the cost of parking - 10 euros, the lack of infrastructure (banal toilets) and the distance from the road. Well, algae. The beach is semi-wild.


Crowds of people. But the sand is white. It's worth stopping by.

Excursion 3 Palma.

Well, how can we ignore the capital? In Palma we just walked along the narrow streets. I looked everywhere for shade.

The resorts of the island of Mallorca have long been popular, and their main feature can be called a certain diversity. - It will be comfortable here for both connoisseurs of luxury and young married couples with children, and young people, of course, will not be offended.

If you want to enjoy a beach holiday, scuba dive, ride the waves or just admire nature, then you won't find a better place to relax than Mallorca. This is one of the largest islands of the Balearic archipelago. There is a wonderful, mild climate and stunningly beautiful nature. Mallorca attracts both members of royal families and ordinary tourists from all over the world. Here everyone is equally comfortable and interesting.

Luxury resorts

Cala d'Or

On the southern part of Mallorca's east coast lies one of the most impressive resorts in the world, Cala d'Or.

  • This is a modern and comfortable place to relax.
  • In the central part of the island, very close to Cala Gran bay, there are the main shops, cafes and bars.
  • There are few multi-storey buildings here, which adds additional charm to the resort.

A distinctive feature of Cala d'Or can be considered a large number of sandy coves and bays. Therefore, you have to travel a lot around the island on foot or by miniature train.

The most famous local beach, of course, cannot boast of outstanding size, but it invariably attracts all tourists. If you don't like crowds, there is an option to get up early and take the bus to Es Trenc. This is a luxurious beach with amazingly clear water, framed by centuries-old pine trees and sand dunes.

Cala d'Or is an excellent resort for those who are not looking for noisy entertainment and expect to stay within a modest budget.

Palma Nova

Palma Nova is considered the oldest resort in Mallorca. Lately, a lot has changed in the appearance of the island, but the pristine charm of nature has remained intact. This place will captivate people who adore a lazy beach holiday and prefer peace and quiet to noise. Here you can have a good time with the whole family.

Illetas

A special feature of Illetas is its rocky coastline. The resort is located six miles west of the capital city. The nature here is extraordinary, almost untouched by civilization. The entire island has a pine aroma, harmoniously combined with the salty sea air, all together creating an aromatherapy effect.

For entertainment, Illetas offers its guests a luxurious beach holiday on small but cozy white sand beaches and excursions to architectural and natural monuments.

Perhaps by renting a car or bicycle yourself.

But there are no noisy entertainments on the island, which is an additional plus for people who prefer peace and quiet. But this resort has an excellent golf club and diving schools.

Resorts for families with children

Arenal

Arenal is a resort located just five kilometers from Son Sant Joan airport, so getting here is easy and quick. In general, this place has a lot of advantages. From here you can take a bus to Palma to do some shopping there. And on the island itself there are decent clothing stores and interesting souvenir shops.

The beaches in Arenal have an excellent bottom and clear water, which vacationers with small children will certainly appreciate. To prevent young tourists from getting bored, you can take them to a huge water park or visit a giant aquarium where stingrays, sharks, jellyfish and many other interesting inhabitants of the underwater world live. Arenal is a great place for a family holiday.

Playa de Palma

Playa de Palma is a true beach paradise. It's no wonder that tourists here have the most favorite beaches in Mallorca. The luxurious embankment, bustling life around the clock, all this attracts people. With many shops, bars, discos, and nightclubs, it is impossible to get bored in Playa de Palma.

But at the same time, this is an ideal place to relax with children. Beaches with clear water and soft sand. You don’t have to go anywhere to admire the inhabitants of the sea; colorful fish swim right in the shallow water to the indescribable delight of the little ones. Playa de Palma has many playgrounds, a zoo and a cafe for young visitors.

For lovers of active recreation, there is complete freedom here. Surfing, yachting, diving, tourists are offered all types of extreme fun and sports entertainment.

Youth resorts in Mallorca

Magaluf

The most notorious and attractive resort for young people in Mallorca is, of course, Magaluf. It is famous for its huge number of nightclubs and discos. This place is especially loved by young people, because here you can have a real blast, spending very little money. Also, tourists from neighboring resorts, for example from the quiet and peaceful Palma Nova, often come here to have fun.
