Mallorca (Majorca in English) is the largest island of Spain, located in the Mediterranean Sea and part of the Balearic Islands archipelago. The capital of Mallorca, Palma, is the cultural centre of the island and the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Like the other Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Formentera and Minorca, Mallorca is a popular tourist destination, especially with the British, German and Irish holiday-makers.
This listing of holiday villas, houses and apartments to rent in Mallorca covers the most popular tourist resorts. The North East of the island is especially attractive, and is the ideal holiday destination if you are seeking relaxation amongst beautiful scenery. Picturesque areas such as Cala Bona and Costa Los Pinos offer a stunning rocky coastline with wonderful mountain backdrops - yet are close to nightlife and tourist attractions.
Featured Destination - Cala Bona, North East Mallorca
Cala Bona is the perfect destination to relax in a traditional Spanish environment, with all the essential ingredients for a magical holiday- beautiful beaches, good restaurants, and beautiful scenery. Originally a small fishing village, Cala Bona now has a new harbour and pedestrianised area at its centre. Fishermen still bring home their catches which feature on the local menus. Here you can unwind in one of the many restaurants and cafes that surround this traditional heart of the resort. Costa Los Pinos is at the end of the bay of Cala Millor, just outside Cala Bona. This very quiet resort has a beach with sand dunes and a few shops and restaurants. There is also a 9 hole golf course at Son Servera which is a very friendly club, with a high proportion of British members.
The warm Mediterranean climate shapes the character of Mallorca, the local residents take life slowly, relax in shade and chat. They enjoy their outdoor life, preferring to take a quite siesta during the hot afternoons instead of returning to the fields or the sea. The Mallorcan's are very courteous people and will make your holiday a personal and enjoyable experience.
The wonderful coves, cliffs and beaches of Mallorca are ideal for water sports or just relaxing in the sun. Almost half of the island is protected countryside, and has stunning landscapes and magnificent towns like Palma with its impressive gothic cathedral dating from 1601. Mallorca has an exciting nightlife with a great choice of nightclubs, bars and restaurants.
