Majorca is a sought after holiday resort with bags of history and attractions. Its name is derived from Latin, “Insula Major” or larger island and it has a coastline of about 550 kilometres. The capital city of Palma, is responsible for attracting thousands of tourists each year who wish to experience its richness of history. There are a number of Majorca hotels to suit every type of traveller and budget.
If you’re after a day of great fun and relaxation at the beach then Es Trenc is the place for you. Its tranquil location, blue sea and 3 kilometre stretch of white sands make this the perfect place for everybody. If you have the kids with you, then there are stretches of gently shelving beach for paddling. For the better swimmers, wading isn’t needed, in the stretches of quicker, shelving sands. The area is also a favourite among locals and you may find a few adventurous types frolicking about without bathing suits!
Majorca has a real enthusiasm for a every type of music. A number of opera houses put on the classics, for instance, the Teatre Principal, with performances all year round in the native Catalan tongue. Other theatres of note are the Auditori d’Alcudia, Cafe Teatre Zanni, Teatre de Lloseta, Auditorium de Maniga de Calla Millor, and the Teatre d’Arta. Without exception, they all provide music, art and dance in either Spanish or Catalan. Modern music is also popular and Palma is a hot spot for clubs where crowds gather to dance until dawn. With a range of local Majorca hotels on your doorstep, there’ll be no need to travel too far at the end of the night.
You will be spoiled when it comes to choice for restaurants and bars in Majorca with over 2,400 of them scattered across the island.

You’ll also find a number of top-notch restaurants at Majorca hotels. Competition is fierce and you can expect great quality Mediterranean food that satisfies the palate and the stomach.
Everywhere you go is a photo opportunity, with places like the beautiful old village of Valldemossa, where you can even reward yourself to a piano concert at the Royal Carthusian Monastery. A place like this very much captures the nature of the Island, with its blend of modern facilities, history and architecture and of course, its fabulous warm and sunbathed climate. This heady mixture has enabled Majorca to keep its position as a top tourist resort for singles and families alike, providing them with all the excitement and satisfaction they need.
