Villas in Majorca

Majorca for beach bums

If you have a holiday rental in Balearic Islands, spend your days exploring the sandy beaches. Majorca’s beaches are lovely wherever you are on the island, but the beaches of Northeast Majorca are truly special. Think of an untouched coastline, white sand beaches, with a backdrop of protected dune systems, pine forests and whimsical rock formations. The beaches in Majorca are diverse; which means you can find beaches perfect for families, naturalists, water-sporty types and nudists.

The most celebrated beach in the area is Cala Torta, a large, easily accessible sandy beach. Cala sa font Celada resembles Cala Torta but is much more secluded, as it is an hour's hike from the road to get there! If you have a private villa in Majorca near the beach, it is definitely worth the effort.

The finest white sand beach on Majorca is probably Formentor. Take a ferry from Pollença Port pier directly to the calm crystalline waters of this pine tree-lined, postcard-perfect beach for the ages.

Majorca for family holidays

Just two hours by plane from Northern Europe and a beach holiday season that lasts 6 months, Majorca is a hugely popular holiday destination for families. The main draw is the fine beaches, the developed infrastructure and the extremely palatable prices. Book a villa in Majorca and enjoy the exotic destination.

But it is not just about long days spent with a bucket and spade, as the island has many other family-friendly attractions. Visit the Palma de Majorca Aquarium, one of the biggest in Europe and home to the deepest shark tank anywhere on the continent! Even if you get a villa in Palma de Mallorca, Majorca is only 50 minutes away, and you can explore attractions in the area.

Majorca for cave exploration

Besides having many amazing holiday villas, Majorca is home to an amazing range of cave systems. From your villa in Santa Ponsa, you can visit the Coves del Drach on the east coast of the island. It is a fanciful land of giant stalactites, stalagmites and shimmering underground lakes. These four caves, formed by the erosion of rainwater over millions of years and connected, house Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world. Stop by the lake to enjoy classical music concerts offered daily. Make this one of your must-sees on your holiday in Majorca!

One of the largest cathedrals in Europe, the vast La Seu Cathedral is over 120 metres long and sits right on the seashore and harbour of the gorgeous town of Palma de Mallorca. Don’t miss the extraordinary stained-glass rosettes that adorn the windows, creating a fabulous spectacle of polychrome lights. If you are a history fan, ensure you visit the cathedral even if you have a holiday rental in Cala d’Or.

4. Take on the hairpin bends of Cap Formentor

The trip to Cap Formentor is nirvana for cyclists. Its crazy hairpin bends, vertiginous climbs and dramatic mountainous scenery have made this an almost mythical route in the cycling world. Best of all, cars are not allowed on this route in summer! Get a villa in Majorca and rise early to enjoy cycling the bends of Cap Formentor.

Sierra de Tramuntana is a great example of the magnificent geography of this region and is home to several peaks for different levels of climbers.

The beautiful scenery is perfect for snapping Instagram-worthy photographs.

Pollenca Port is a real treat for amateur bird watchers, with scores of native and migrant bird species in and around the harbour.
