There are some real touristy areas
In a nutshell

more than party, beaches and sunbathing!!!!
25 Reviews No holiday to Mallorca would be complete without a trip to the beach, though it wasn't until our fourth and last day on the island that we managed a visit. We went to Port de Soller, a small beachside village on the north of Mallorca, a few kilometres north of Soller. Port de Soller is a relaxed...
11 Reviews If you fancy an hour's stroll through some pleasant countryside it's possible to walk from Puerto Pollensa over to Cala San Vicente for a drink and/or meal by the sea. You can then either retrace your steps or get a taxi or bus (check times) back. There is abit of uphill and the walking is rough in...
13 Reviews I've been in many caves, all with the same type of beauty - the stalactites, stalagmites and water ponds. Some details make them all different but the Cuevas del Drach have something special: in the bottom of it, you sit in a large room and gently, softly in the dark, a small boat comes sliding in a...
21 Reviews In the opposite side to Palma, protected by the mountains of Formentor, a large bay holds a long sandy beach. It's a good starting point to the visits to the wild northern coast, but, as long as my quick two visits and one bath allowed me to see, it is not in the top beaches of the island....

23 Reviews This tiny local c'an called Thomas's is located a few streets above Porto Cristo's harbour. It is a real locals place that has only a few tables that are served by a singing waitress whilst you wait for your tapas dishes to be cooked by Thomas, the owner. Ranging from 2 to 5 Euro per dish it is the...
9 Reviews We woke early on a Sunday morning in Soller and wandered up to the main square hoping to find maybe one or two cafes open for breakfast. We needn't have worried: the whole square was a hive of activity with all the locals out early, sitting in cafes, reading papers and catching up with friends -...
5 Reviews BCM in Magaluff is or at least used to be the biggest diso in Europe. It can house up to 5000 people. Here you can find international famous dj's, light shows and all that. An dof course a good ambiance to dance and enjoy yourself. At least i did on more then one occasion.
10 Reviews The bus service from the tourist resorts to Palma is good. The buses stop at Placa de Espana. Here you can find various bus stops where you can take a bus to several seaside villages. Moreover at Placa de Espana there is a modern underground station. This is the bus, train and tube station. Here you...
12 Reviews Gregi, that's the busiest time of the year for car rental so I think you need to book straight away or you may not get anything. Car rental in Mallorca is not as cheap as it used to be, expect to pay a minimum of €200 per week for the most basic model. There are lots of companies - Sixt, Europcar,...
2 Reviews Majorca has many large tourist shops which all usually sell the same things. The best places for shopping are in Inca if you want to buy leather products. There are many leather outlets here and cheaper than the main tourist shops. Majorca pearls are very popular too and it is cheaper to buy at the...
5 Reviews Nat Nats is supposed to be one of the best shops in Majorca, i disagree. Its ok if you just want to buy a few nice things but you can find some better shops in Palma town centre. It does have a wide range of clothes & accessories for all ages, it sells clothes for women aswell as children of all...
5 Reviews We just returned from Cala Millor resort and had been surprised to discover that practically noone was eating in the diners even as late as 9pm. Tourists and locals were mainly sipping on their drinks for the whole evening. But the meals are still available at any time of the day, so no shame in...
2 Reviews Beware of the very tall man 6ft 4" who slowly walks round the three beaches of Palma Nova pretending to look at the ladies when in fact he is looking for the ladies bags. He carries a towel over his shoulder and also a T Shirt which he puts on and off regurlarly. He walks up beside people and drops...
2 Reviews Wonderful flyer pictures and descriptions which are overrated. Nice enough for those that like caves but very large groups are ushered through the cave system on hard on the feet paths. Very crowded and you are unable to walk at a leaisurely pace. hearded into an underground auditorium to hear a few...
10 Reviews Hi Have you been to the south east of the island? Ther is a resort called Colonia San Jordie which has some of the best beaches on the island! You can check out the area by looking at videos of Es trenc on Utube, also Hotel Migjorn video on utube gives a good idea of what the are is like. Lots of...
5 Reviews Puerto Soller is an unspoilt resort in a picturesque setting on the west coast of Mallorca. We found it to be an atractive town with a nice beach and a good selection of restaraunts. However, during the festival week, which this year was the first week of July, loud music is played from a platform...
7 Reviews Cala Major is a resort in the south west of Majorca; some km far from Palma. It has everything you need. There you can find lots of shops and a good choice of restaurants and cafes. This resort has a little beach. In case you find the beach at Cala Major too crowdy you can head to the next resort;...
10 Reviews While touring the island one day.. Many tourists thnk of Mallorca only as a party island or a place to go for the sun and teh beach. But Mallorca has a whole different side that many people don't see. Or maybe aren't terribly interested in. Which is a pitty of course. On the other hand, i prefer...

8 million tourists come here every year. It was Majorca that perhaps set off the boom in mass travel in the 1960's but the history of tourism in Majorca goes right back to Roman times. I rather...
