Destination: Mallorca

Enjoy the authentic Spanish life on this beautiful island. Mallorca is drenched in sun, and with its  sandy beaches and hidden coves with shallow warm water and family fun resorts makes it all perfect for that family holiday! 

As well as the beautiful beaches and warm shallow waters, Mallorca is steeped in history and has plenty on offer for all the family. Magaluf is one of the main bustling resorts on the island, but our favourite is laid-back Puerto Pollensa in the most northern part of the island. A great base to explore the northern part with its peaceful olive groves, and hilltop villages. Puerto Pollensa is one of Mallorcas most stunning resorts with a pretty horseshoe Bay, backed by the Tramuntana Mountains.
