Add to this a little indulgent celeb spotting and you see why Majorca is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe. Mallorca really does have everything.
The island is dotted with small, cove-like inlets sheltered from the wind; the turquoise waters a sheer joy for swimmers. Lovers of culture are well catered for too. Roman settlements can also be found. The writer Robert Graves lived here for many years, his Deia home is now a museum. His studio on the edge of Palma is now a museum and art gallery.
Its small, compact size means you can explore it on foot. Yes we know its infamous for boys and girls behaving badly, but at least the behaviour is confined to a tiny area, leaving the rest of this beautiful island all yours to enjoy.
Actually, the resort is currently being cleaned up and being reinvented as an increasingly upscale holiday destination. The peace, prettiness and tranquillity of Menorca , or the sheer magnificence of Mallorca? At Balearic Properties we would be delighted to help you find your dream property for sale in Mallorca or Menorca.
Palma is a pleasant city which can give you a true holiday feel. If you prefer smaller towns, you can visit places such as Alcudia, a beautifully preserved medieval village with a marina and beach. A great excursion for the whole family! In Menorca , you can equally alternate stunning beaches with daytrips to villages and towns. Because they are relatively small, the towns of Menorca offer a relaxing day out. Take a nice stroll in the romantic old town of Ciutadella. Visitors who love going out at night, will probably prefer Mallorca.
Palma de Mallorca, for example, offers many bars and also nightclubs such as Tito's and Pacha Mallorca. The nights in Menorca are generally more quiet. Drunken revellers are far from common on this island. Places for entertainment at night are, however, also rather scarce. That does not mean there is nothing to do in Menorca. Its character is sometimes described as 'hippy' - social activities on the island are more relaxed. A must for an evening out is the Cova d'en Xoroi , the most famous cave of the island.
It has been turned into a disco, where you can enjoy a drink, music to chill to and a beautiful sunset, after which it hosts DJs and theme nights. Beach and the tranquility of nature.
According to many Spaniards Menorca is the most authentic of the Balearic Islands. Its landscape and beaches are also wilder than Majorca's. It's a different world, full of calas or small beach coves, sunshine and crystal clear turquoise water.
Mallorca is more densely populated but offers some lovely quiet spots. It may take some more effort to find them though - especially in high season - but Mallorca definitely has unspoilt corners and.
Both Mallorca and Menorca offer visitors ample opportunities to enjoy local life. Just go and visit the local markets in towns like Palma and Alcudia in Mallorca. You can find them in colourful local markets or taste them in restaurants or bars in the villages and towns.
You can go on a cheese tour as well as a wine tour. Wine is produced on both islands. Mallorca is the largest producer, with the most important vineyards in Binissalem and Santa Maria, but there are also smaller winemakers spread throughout the island. Menorca has fewer winemakers, but you can also go on a wine tour there. A must visit for wine lovers is the Binifadet winery in the southern village of Sant Lluis.
It has a restaurant too. The Balearic Islands are more than beach and sun. There are great viewpoints such as the Mirador de la Creueta. Among the Tramuntana mountains is also the Puig Major , the highest point of Majorca and of the Balearic Islands meters. It is somewhat remote, but can get quite busy in for example the merenderos or picnic areas, especially in the high season. Menorca is mostly flat, with just one mountain, the Monte Toro meters.
As it is located right in the middle of the island, you can observe the outline of the whole island of Menorca from its peak and, in clear weather conditions, even spot Mallorca.
Menorca is a small island but offers abundant green space, with many fields enclosed by dry stone walls. Thanks to its rural character, less tourism and a lower population density, Menorca offers a peaceful holiday destination. Renting a nice villa as a form of accommodation in Menorca is an excellent option for a quiet, money-saving holiday. It is the natural habitat of hundreds of animal and plant species, especially water birds, and offers beautiful hiking trails.
