Hotels in Majorca – 10 million visitors a year
At least ten million holidaymakers head for Majorca every year. Thankfully not at the same time. Even so, picking hotels in Majorca can be a challenge. There’s so much choice for such a little island. Majorca has something for every taste, from luxury to student style basic. The island’s sprinkled with resorts - seventeen in all - offering everything from water sports to wild night parties, gorgeous beaches to history and culture. If you’ve got your party head on, hotels in Majorca’s Magaluf and Palma Nova resorts are the noisiest and liveliest. If that sounds nasty, go north for a quieter time. Alcudia beach is lovely and The Ses Dalies Alcudia Apartment Complex is a cool 50m or so from the water. A small complex, the Ses Dalies is family run and offers twenty clean, comfy apartments spread over two floors. Nice one.
Majorca Hotels – Es Trenc, the Spanish Maldives?
Es Trenc beach is astonishingly beautiful and rivals anything you’ll find in the uber-expensive Maldives, with blinding white sands and the kind of unfeasibly blue sea you usually only find on touched up postcards. Cala Bona beach is another beauty and there are plenty of excellent Majorca hotels to choose from nearby. Try the Floriana Apartments, Part of Protur Group, a mere 600m from the shore. The Floriana’s one of the bigger hotels in Majorca, a substantial complex of 315 self catering apartments (your challenge: find your way back to your apartment after a big night out), mostly 1 and 2 bedroom, set in its own pretty gardens. Complete with obligatory swimming pools if you’re feeling far too laid back to make it all that way to the beach!
Hotels in Majorca – A chequered and violent history
Majorca is much more than just a pretty face. It has a fascinating history too, and the scenery’s gorgeous. Inland you’ll find wonderfully unspoiled countryside and there are thick, cool pine forests all around Palma. Bellver Castle is an impressive ruin with amazing views over the island, once a prison but now a museum. And there are loads of pretty traditional fishing harbours. The magnificent four star Porto Colom Hotel, Ola El Vistamar, is one of the smartest hotels in Majorca. Right next to the harbour, a short amble from the Cala Marsal beach and the town centre, it offers 144 immaculate rooms on seven floors and comes complete with private sun terraces and gardens. Go on, treat yourself!
