Explore the Beaches:
Majorca is renowned for its pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters. From the bustling Playa de Palma to the secluded Cala Varques, there is a beach to suit every preference. Spend your days soaking up the sun, swimming in the refreshing Mediterranean Sea, or indulging in thrilling water sports such as snorkelling, scuba diving, or paddle boarding. Our Majorca holiday villas are all located close to beaches, giving you the perfect opportunity for long days on the sand. We have holiday villas near beach in Puerto Pollensa which are one of the most desired locations on the island.

Visit Palma de Mallorca:
A trip to Majorca wouldn't be complete without exploring the island's vibrant capital, Palma de Mallorca. Discover the awe-inspiring Gothic architecture of La Seu Cathedral, stroll along the charming streets of the old town, and explore the fascinating history at the Royal Palace of La Almudaina. Don't forget to indulge in some retail therapy and sample delicious local cuisine at the city's many shops and restaurants. Our family holiday villas in Majorca are all within about an hour of Palma de Mallorca, making it an accessible day trip.

Experience Serra de Tramuntana:
Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range offers breathtaking natural beauty. Embark on scenic hikes, mountain biking trails, or simply take a leisurely drive to appreciate the rugged cliffs, terraced landscapes, and picturesque villages that dot the region. The views from the mountains are truly mesmerizing and provide ample opportunities for stunning photographs. We have villas in Pollensa that provide the most dramatic views of the mountains.

Discover Historic Towns:
Majorca is home to several charming historic towns that are worth exploring. Take a trip to Valldemossa, known for its enchanting cobbled streets and the famous Carthusian Monastery. Explore the quaint town of Pollença, with its vibrant Sunday market and historic churches. Soller, with its beautiful architecture and picturesque tram ride, is another gem not to be missed.

Indulge in Gastronomic Delights:
Majorca is a culinary paradise, offering a wide array of delicious dishes influenced by both Mediterranean and Spanish cuisines. Explore local markets to sample fresh produce, try traditional dishes such as sobrasada (cured sausage) and pa amb oli (bread with oil and toppings), and savor fresh seafood in beachfront restaurants. Consider taking a cooking class to learn how to recreate these flavours back at your Majorca holiday villa. One of the benefits of a Majorca self catering villa holiday is being able to cook whatever local delights that you wish.

Enjoy Outdoor Activities:
Majorca's natural beauty extends beyond its beaches and mountains. Engage in outdoor activities such as horseback riding through the countryside, playing golf on world-class courses, or sailing along the stunning coastline. For adrenaline enthusiasts, try rock climbing, canyoning, or zip-lining in the island's adventure parks.

Visit Local Wineries:
Majorca's wine culture is thriving, and a visit to the island wouldn't be complete without exploring its vineyards. Take a tour of the wine estates, sample the local varietals, and learn about the winemaking process. Many vineyards also offer wine tastings paired with delicious local tapas, providing a delightful gastronomic experience.

Relax and Unwind at Your Villa:
One of the greatest joys of a villa holiday is the opportunity to relax and unwind in the privacy of your own space. Take advantage of the villa's amenities, whether it's a private pool, lush gardens, or a cozy terrace with stunning views. Enjoy lazy afternoons sunbathing, reading a book, or simply appreciating the tranquility that Majorca offers.
