Gorgeous.
Gorgeous island. We’ve been going to Majorca for years and we love it. Always have a great welcome and a lovely atmosphere. Palma is a particularly nice part, with great views and it’s very lively, lots to do. Great transport for the rest of the island and the beaches are second to none. Loved it.

Love Majorca
Perfect for our 2 and 6 year olds, but we think it'd be good for teens too. Lovely weather, beaches were fab, and lots of activities to do. Will be going back!
