Majorca Luxury Holiday Guide

What to do in Majorca

A short drive away from your luxury villa in Majorca you can wander around port towns, such as Port Andratx, enjoying its boutique shops and bars and pretty marina; or Inca, the island’s largest town with a bustling market and leather goods for sale. Then there’s Majorca’s capital, La Palma, ideal for a night out or a weekend jolly.

For outdoorsy types, there is a plethora of stunning beaches, from the famous Alcudia beach to the quieter well-kept secrets such as Cala Tuent way up on the north-west side. From snorkelling to cycling, there’s an activity to suit fun-seekers of every age and ability, too.

When to Visit

Spring is a treat, when the blossom and other flora and fauna are at their best. July and August see temperatures in the 30s and lazing by the pool of your luxury villa is where you’ll want to be.

Temperatures drop a little in September and October so that can be a really pleasant time to go as well when the sea is at its warmest.

What We Love About Majorca

The western coast of Majorca is much quieter than the rest of the island. It has rugged mountainous parts, good for walking, and also many of the best eateries. And will you ever feel like you’ve deserved a great meal more so than after a morning’s hiking?

Getting to Majorca

Majorca has an airport, Son Sant Joan Airport, which is five miles east of Palma.

The Best Places To Eat and Drink

With Roman and African influences as well as its traditional Spanish roots, food in Majorca can be really interesting. Obviously, you’ll enjoy great, fresh, seafood whilst on a luxury villa holiday here, as well as local produce such as almonds, and you’ll have to try at least one paella, which the island is famous for.

There’s a hot debate among restaurants about the best recipes and methods. This is a dreadful problem with a joyful solution – try all the best restaurants and decide for yourself.

For tapas nothing like anything you’ll see in the UK, head to Como en Casa in Alcudia. For a real gastronomic experience try the very modern and impressive Es Moli d’En Bou in Sa Coma, owned by Michelin-starred chef Tomeu Caldentey. It has a brilliant tasting menu and is considered to be one of Spain’s top restaurants, a must-try for an evening dining out of your luxury villa.
