The beautiful Balearic Island of Mallorca has long been a hot favourite with holidaymakers from around the world.  Boasting breathtaking pine clad mountains, fantastic beaches and historic towns and cities.  Along with a whole raft of fascinating visitor attractions.

Mallorca is the largest of the three Balearic Islands and is home to a number of resorts.  Each with its own unique character.  Whilst there are plenty of accommodation options available such as luxury hotels a growing number of visitors to the island now opt to book holiday villas in Mallorca direct online.  Thanks to the growth of the internet and the availability of some fantastic character properties, especially in locations such as Pollensa in the north of the island.

Pollensa
Pollensa – or Pollenca – is a former Roman settlement dating back to the 5th century.  And has become one of the most upmarket holiday locations on the island.  Providing plenty of high quality accommodation in old traditional stone built farmhouses and fincas.  All of which is located just some 8km from the coast.

The town is home to numerous pretty squares, streets and shops and is ideal for anyone seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main resorts.  Whilst also remaining in close proximity to the excellent beaches of the North coast. There is a fantastic range of luxury hotels in Spain close to the white sandy beaches in the North Coast of Spain. With the Easter holidays coming up, there is likely to be a few last minute deals available.

Puerto Pollensa
Puerto Pollensa is the close coastal cousin to Pollensa and is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque and photogenic locations on the island.  Thanks to the breathtaking backdrop provided by the magnificent Tramantura Mountains.

The resort revolves around the main beach – which is around 3km long – and the luxury marina.  And also has a delightful seafront promenade where tourists will find a good selection of bars and restaurants.

Can Picafort
Can Picafort is located close to Puerto Pollensa and is one of the most popular holiday destinations on the island.  Boasting a huge sandy beach and a wide selection of bars, shops and restaurants.

The resort has evolved over the years from its original roots as a small fishing village and provides an excellent base for anyone seeking a holiday in the north of the island.  Providing loads for visitors to do and see.

Cala D’or
This attractive resort is located on Mallorca’s east coast and is home to a number of holiday hot spots such as Porto Colom and the breathtaking beach at Cala Murada.

Mallorca is just a couple of hour’s flight from all major UK airports and whilst being a popular holiday destination still offers plenty of unspoiled scenery for visitors to enjoy.
