Former Mallorcan visitors can explain this. Mallorca offers miles of beautiful sandy beaches, sunshine throughout the year, and fantastic holiday complexes suitable for all types of travelers.
Majorca has so much to offer, including lots of fun activities and experiences, such as mountain hiking, water sports and golf. And if you love good food, Mallorca’s cuisine has evolved over the years, and today the island has several Michelin restaurants.
So, where is the most beautiful place in Mallorca? I would say everywhere. Mallorca has so much beauty on offer; it’s easy to understand why it has become so popular.
Below, you will find some great advice on where to stay, travel tips, and interesting cities in Mallorca.
