Majorca is a brilliant place for a beach holiday. There is an abundance of sunshine, beautiful beaches, and plenty of activities for the whole family. There are holidays to suit every budget, from five star all-inclusive resorts, to budget self-catering accommodation. Majorca is situated in the Mediterranean sea, and is the largest island in the Balearic archipelago. Majorca is the ideal choice for anyone who thinks spending a getaway in a stunning place is fun, as is shown by its ever-increasing popularity with tourists.

Magaluf is one of the most important holiday resorts on the island and is known for its white sandy beaches, palm trees and notorious night-life. The bars and clubs along the beach are very popular with British holiday-makers. Unfortunately, their binge-drinking antics and rowdy behaviour, which are often mentioned in the press, have had a negative affect upon Magaluf's image. The Spanish Tourist Board is now taking steps to clean up the area and improve its reputation. Still, Magaluf is undeniably lots of fun for young people, with famous DJs coming to the resort every summer to play at the glamorous Nikki Beach Club, which attracts thousands of young and rich partygoers.

In complete contrast to the wild nightlife of Magaluf, the mountain range of Sierra de Tramontana feels remote and isolated. The rugged limestone crags form the most magnificent coastline in the Mediterranean. The mountainous north-west region of the island is, understandably, very popular with walkers and climbers. Part of the coastline is a nature reserve; if you are lucky you might spot a rare European Black vulture. The mountain peaks of the Sierra de Tramonta are starkly bare but in the valleys below are ancient groves of olive, orange and almond. The remote villages are unspoilt and beautiful and are famous for their flower-bedecked low balconies. Ancient monasteries, pottery, rare sea-birds; this part of the island offers an unforgettable traveling experience. No wonder the island of Majorca has been both a haven and an inspiration for artists since the 1950s.
