1. Mingle and explore the local market

Barter your way through the rustic stalls at Alcúdia Market on a Sunday or Tuesday morning all year round. Enclosed within the historic city walls, it’s one of the biggest and longest-running markets on the island. Then head to Sa Cisterna to mingle with the locals and sample some authentic sobrasada or bread with olive oil and cheese.

2. Discover the Albufera National Park

Saddle up and cycle over to the stunningly peaceful Albufera National Park. Pedal around the flat cycle paths and catch a glimpse of the local wildlife at the bird-watching huts. If cycling sounds like too much hard work then you can catch the bus which runs between Alcúdia and Can Picafort.

3. Visit the bustling capital of Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca is the main city of this gorgeous island and is a must-visit when you’re visiting Majorca. If you don’t fancy a day trip, why not book one night at the start or end of your holiday in one of the fabulous apartments in Palma de Mallorca?

4. Take a ride to Formentor

Take a glass bottom boat ride to Formentor, one of Majorca’s most exclusive beaches. These excursions last between three and four hours and offer tremendous views of the coastline. Some even give you the chance to soak up some rays on the incredible beach at Formentor before heading home.

5. Experience the Sant Pere Festival

In late June, locals pay tribute to their patron saint. This maritime party is one of the biggest and best on the island and includes an entire week of parties, dancing, music and great food. It offers a fascinating window into local life and traditions.

6. Enjoy the festival of Sant Jaume like a local

Going on for nine days at the beginning of July, the town boasts colour and diversity. Carnival, football, movies… each street picks out a theme for that year's look! Also, traditional evening festivities are arranged such as the Night of the Romans, outdoor theatres, sports tournaments, exhibitions and the traditional bullfight. The fiesta is finished with La Noche de Sant Jaume, a fireworks display and a philharmonic concert by the old walls.

7. Check out the town of Santa Ponsa

Consider swapping the north coast of the island for the south and take a visit to Santa Ponsa. This town boasts a beautiful beach, Platja de Santa Ponça, which has a huge promenade filled with restaurants and bars to keep you entertained for hours. The apartments in Santa Ponsa are equally as fantastic, as they tend to be very affordable and close to the town centre.
