Mallorca Tourist Information
Mallorca (or Majorca) is a Mediterranean island of stunning natural beauty.
Its early reputation for cheap mass tourism emerged from the large scale
developments on the island's south west coast.
Early resorts which remain popular today include
Magaluf and Palma Nova to the west of Palma and
Can Pastilla to the east.
In more recent times Mallorca has reinvented itself with an emphasis on more
upmarket tourism with visitors encouraged to explore the island's beautiful
coastline and interior. The east coast of Mallorca consists of
more than
fifty secluded coves of enormous beauty. Cala Millor
or Cala Bona are ideal bases from which to discover
this region.
Mallorca's north east coast has an enormous bay which is home to the
popular resorts of Can Picafort and
Alcudia. Nearer the island's most northerly point at
Cap de Formentor is Puerto Pollensa which has
long been a favourite with holidaymakers. This whole area is very popular with
cyclists, walkers and birdwatchers.
The Serra de Tramuntana is the mountain range running parallel with
Mallorca's north west coast. The rugged terrain and mountain peaks present
quite a contrast with the gentle east coast. It's well worth renting a car and
heading out to Soller,
Deia and Valldemossa as well as the lesser know
villages inland.
Mallorca has something for everyone. Just choose your preferred destination from
our descriptions below and the island will have you coming back year after year.
