Meet Majorca, where sun-drenched beaches, outdoor adventure sports, and historic Roman and Moorish sites provide the perfect backdrop to your Mediterranean dream vacation.
Finding the Perfect Island Retreat
Besides being a generally dreamy island, one of the best things about Majorca is its size. It’s compact enough to drive across in just an hour, so you can lounge on the beach in the morning, explore the countryside after lunch, and cap off the night in Palma. (Well, if you even feel the drive to move that fast with the slower pace of island life.) With such a diverse and accessible landscape to explore, it's no wonder Majorca boasts a variety of hotel options.
