Hotels in Majorca: a 24-hour island tour

By Claire Collins


From its cosmopolitan capital, modern art and hearty cuisine to the breathtaking beauty of its mountains and coastline - Majorca has plenty of tourist appeal. Though it is the biggest of the Balearics, the island is compact enough for visitors to explore in a single trip, and with careful planning you can experience some of its highlights all in one day.

You can book your hotels in Majorca depending on what you want to do. Alcudia and Magaluf offer modern, vibrant resorts, while the city of Palma is more traditional, while still offering you close proximity to some stunning beaches.

Palma also makes a great place from which to start your one-day exploration of the island. Take a good day to enjoy the beaches along the coast, as you head out from the centre of town. Swim in the idyllic blue sea, or go diving through one of the area's top-rated dive centres. If you're keen on booking Mallorca hotelsnear Portal Nous or Illetes, then you'll be close enough to Palma to get the best of both worlds - combining central city and peaceful beach all in the same day. This is, after all, what makes Majorca such an incredible holiday spot.

Once in the charming town of Soller, take some time to explore the narrow streets, main square and tropical gardens, and then hop on a tram down to the port. The journey takes you through people's back gardens and yet more lemon groves before a steep descent to a wide enclosed bay surrounded by towering mountains.

There are not quite as many Mallorca hotels in this part of the island, but this makes it all the more peaceful. It's also a great base for hiking in the Tramuntana - an excellent way to wile away your afternoon, ending with a paddle in the sea.
