Majorca really is the ideal holiday destination, because it is located within a short travelling time from the home region of most holidaymakers and you can almost be sure of having hot sunny weather during most of the year.
You can therefore sit on one of the many attractive beaches and simply relax. It does of course occasionally rain, however this is normally a short heavy burst of rain which is over in hours. A shower at times can be very welcome.
There are many wonderful beaches on this green island and many of them are small beautiful coves. There are of course some larger beaches and these will be mentioned in this article.
You will find enjoyable holiday resorts throughout Majorca and a lot depends on the type of holiday which particularly appeals to you. In the northern area you will find both buzzing energetic towns where you could be on the go throughout the day and part of the night,–or you could equally holiday in small quiet sleepy villages where the pace of life is slow and holidaymakers are there to enjoy the sun, read a book and lose all stress.
Here is additional information about various locations which can be reached within about one hour from Palma.
Puerto Alcudia.
===========
If you like to participate in all sorts of entertainment and play sports at the Hotels or on the beach, then you will enjoy this town. The fabulous beach which is more than 5 miles long, is the longest on Majorca.
The Marina is an area which you must visit and in addition to viewing expensive yachts, there are many quality restaurants adjacent to the boardwalk.
All age groups should be happy in Puerto Alcudia, as there is a wide choice of fun for everyone.
Alcudia.- Old Town.
=======
This attractive small quiet old town sits only a few miles inland from Puerto Alcudia and if you like history, fabulous old renovated buildings, narrow streets, comfortable Hotels and mouth watering restaurants,
then you will enjoy having a comfortable and relaxing break here. As Pollensa Bay is within fifteen minutes from the town, you would also be able to enjoy the beach.
Puerto Pollensa.
===========
At one time this was a small fishing village, but it has been one of the top favourite holiday locations for many years. It also has a fabulous child friendly beach, a great selection of Hotels and Apartments at all price levels and a small number of chic shops. Entertainment is low key and normally stops around midnight.
All age groups enjoy this town and as the roads are virtually flat, moving around with prams or wheelchairs is fine.
Cala San Vicente
=============
This is a very small resort with a beautiful cove beach, attractive Hotels and expensive houses nestling in the
wooded areas. The town always looks freshly painted and overall could easily be used as a movie location. If you like the quiet life, with good food and a book to read, then you should enjoy being here.
