Mallorca (or Majorca), a Spanish province located in the Mediterranean Sea, just off the coast of Spain, is the largest of the Balearic Islands archipelago. Palma de la Mallorca, the island's capital, is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands, which includes Ibiza, Menorca, Formentera and Cabrera.

Whilst the Balearic Islands are very popular with tourists from EU countries, travellers from both US and Canada also flock to the islands for sun, sand, relaxation and good food.

Mallorca is an ideal holiday destination, and the island's vast array of accommodation, from luxury five star spa hotels to affordable family lodging, ensures holidaymakers are very well catered for, whatever their budget.

For the tourist, Mallorca has much to offer with an abundance of sandy beaches, excellent shopping in Palma and interesting local markets dotted around the island. The Cultural Landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the magnificent 14th century Gothic Cathedral in Palma are also popular attractions. The old town of Alcudia, the charming Puerto de Soller and the famous Soller train, which runs between Palma and Soller and offers breathtaking views of the mountains and countryside, and the spectacular and awe-inspiring Cuevas del Drach (caves of Drach) are also popular visitor destinations.

Whilst you can opt to visit the numerous interesting sites and attractions the island has to offer, Mallorca is also a place for relaxation. You can bask in the sun and top up your tan, enjoy a round of golf or a luxurious spa treatment, bathe in the sea and, in the evening, dine at one of the many renowned restaurants on the island.
