Majorca holidays
The biggest Balearic has it all: family beaches, hidden coves, mountain villages and a capital city that's genuinely worth a day. Short flight, huge payoff.
Why choose Majorca?
Majorca is the do-everything Balearic. The south is packed with family resorts and water parks, the west is all dramatic mountains and chic marinas, and the north hides sandy coves and old stone villages.
It's a two-hour flight, which makes it perfect for a week, a long weekend or a half-term dash. Families, couples and groups all find their corner here, and our experts know exactly which one is yours.
Unmissable Majorca.
Ride the vintage train to Soller
A wooden train through the mountains to a lemon-grove town and a tram down to the harbour. Charming, old-school Majorca.
Explore the Caves of Drach
Underground lakes, stalactites and a live classical concert on the water. Surprisingly magical.
Drive the Sa Calobra road
A famously twisty mountain road to a hidden cove. Not for the faint-hearted driver, but the views are unreal.
Wander Palma's old town
Catalan Gothic cathedral, narrow lanes, tapas bars and the best shopping on the island.
