Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands. Like San Antonio in Ibiza, Majorca too has a party resort in the form of Magaluf. Majorca is also an excellent destination for the more sporting types among us, with plenty of watersports taking place at Cala Millor. There is also plenty to do in the cosmopolitan Palma town.

Days & Nights in Majorca

If the lively bars and discos of Magaluf are not your thing, then the much quieter Puerto Pollensa or Cala d'Or maybe for you. Majorca has its fair share of English pubs and restaurants, but don't forget to try some of the more traditional Majorcan restaurants.
