When thinking of a holiday on a Spanish island, most people think about Ibiza, but whilst Majorca may not have as much of a party spirit reputation as Ibiza, its not a destination that you should overlook.
Airport transfers are infrequent and can be expensive so getting this organized before you leave home can prevent you starting your holiday on a stressful note.Theres something for everyone to do on Majorca. There are activities to suit all preferences, or you could simply soak up the sun! If you want to explore the history and culture then the peaceful fishing villages of Porto Pollensia and Porto Cristo will satisfy that desire, whereas high energy nightlife is best experienced at El Arenal or Magaluf.
Families can find resorts designed to cater for the British holidaymakers mindset ” with care for the children, tourist attractions within reach of the resort base of operations and plenty to do for young and old alike. One of these resorts, Playa de Palma, is a lovely place. Set between El Arenal and C’an Pastilla. A wide promenade connects all three, overlooking the beaches and home to a wide array of eateries, shops and more. The beach line itself slopes in shelves into the sea, has a blue flag for quality and is punctuated by shops, facilities and bars. With plenty to do and some transport links (though, not remarkably reliable) families can spend two weeks enjoying everything the coast has to offer, without leaving, or exploring at their leisure.
Some of the Majorca resorts have been designed for families with young children. They recognise that getting around isnt easy when youve got small kids and a lot of associated essentials to carry with you.
You may get a good deal, but chances are if you are travelling in the high season, you will end up paying twice as much for your hotel room as you would have booking earlier.
El Arenal is the key young persons nightclub spot, but is also great for families wanting a bit of excitement and for those perpetual teens that still enjoy the bustle of night-time activity. It is especially favoured by continental 18-30s. During the summer, the nightclubs stay open till dawn allowing you to leave the club just in time to grab the best place on the beach to soak in the sun and you snooze off the booze!
Majorcas a great holiday destination. With such a diversity of activities available, its a great choice for everyone from grandma to the baby ” and even those hard-to-please teens!
