Villas in Majorca

Majorca’s beaches are lovely wherever you are on the island, but the beaches of northeast Majorca are truly special. Think an untouched coastline, with a backdrop of protected dune systems, pine forests and whimsical rock formations. The most celebrated beach in the area is Cala Torta, a large easily accessible sandy beach. Cala sa font Celada closely resembles Cala Torta but is much more secluded, as it is an hour hike from the road to get there! But if you can muster up the gumption, it is well worth the effort. Probably the finest beach of all on Majorca is Formentor. Take a ferry from Pollensa Port pier directly to the calm crystalline waters of this pine tree lined, postcard-perfect beach for the ages.

Just two hours by plane from northern Europe and a beach holiday season that lasts 6 months, Majorca is a hugely popular holiday destination for families. The main draw is the fine beaches in conjunction with the highly-developed infrastructure and extremely palatable prices. But it is not just about long days spent with a bucket and spade, as there are so many other family-friendly attractions on the island, such as the Palma de Majorca Aquarium, one of the biggest in Europe and home to the deepest shark tank anywhere on the continent!

Majorca is home to an amazing range of cave systems, the most impressive being the Coves del Drach on the east coast of the island, a fanciful land of giant stalactites, stalagmites and shimmering underground lakes. These four caves, formed by the erosion of rainwater over millions of years and connected to each other, house Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world, where classical music concerts are offered daily. Make this one of your must-sees on your holiday in Majorca!
