Villas in Majorca

1. Deià

Perched on a hilltop along the Serra de Tramuntana ridge, Deiá is one of Majorca's most enchanting villages. Hideaway for the rich and famous - do a bit of star-spotting as you walk through the narrow streets lined with chic boutiques and galleries. The beach Cala Deiá, is one of the most sought-after on the island - enjoy seafood in the restaurants housed in former fishermen's huts.

2. Alcúdia

Alcúdia is a weave of medieval streets and picturesque plazas, with cafes, bars and restaurants bringing a lively atmosphere to this ancient town in the north of Majorca. In the summer, Alcúdia comes alive with fiestas and festivals, most notably the Festes de Sant Jaume celebrating the town's favourite saint. Port d'Alcúdia is the town's modern half and a popular family destination where you can enjoy downtime on a long stretch of golden sand.

3. Palma

Don't miss a visit to the vibrant capital of the Balearic Islands, where each area of the city has something to offer visitors. Palma is a prime location for sightseeing, with a wealth of galleries, museums, historical buildings, theatres, shops, cafes and restaurants. Should you need a break from exploring, head down to one of the city's several beaches for a relaxing stroll along the promenade, or bag yourself a prime sunbathing spot on the sand.

4. Pollença

Nestles in a pretty bay with the Tramuntana mountains in the backdrop, Pollença has everything you need for a classic Majorca vacation. Of course, you'll want to spend most of your time on the long stretch of white sand, getting up only to dip in the clear blue waters or have a go at kyaking and snorkelling off the coast. Then, back on dry land, lace your hiking boots up or hop on your bike and explore the trails winding through the Tramuntana mountains.

Hop to another island Majorca is perfectly positioned for exploring the other Balearic Islands. Hop on a ferry or rent your own yacht and live it up in Ibiza, snorkely in Formentera and enjoy the diversity of landscapes in Menorca. You can even sail to the wilder, smaller islands and islets such as Dragonera, Cabrera and S'Espalmador to experience untouched natural beauty.

Visit ancient sites Even if history isn't your forte, it's difficult not to be captivated by Majorca's historical sites. As well as famous sites such as the 14th-century Bellver Castle and the 13th-century Basílica de San Francisco, Majorca is known for talaiot or talayots, prehistoric megaliths of the Bronze Age. It's worth checking out the archaeological museum dedicated to one of the cokmplete Talayotic settlements in the Balearic Islands.

Embrace nature Away from the beach resorts, Mallorca has some incredible natural wonders to discover. The Mondragó Natural Park is one of Mallorca’s greatest treasures, a varied landscape of forests, ravines, wetlands, dunes and heavenly beaches. Another natural wonder to put on your itinerary is the Drach Caves, one of the largest cave systems in Europe. Venture underground into a world full of stalactites and stalagmites, lighting and illuminations creating a magical glow. Then, take a boat ride along the underground river, which leads to a vast, lake-filled cavern where you can listen to a classical concert and enjoy the enthralling acoustics.
