All eyes will be on Majorca this summer, ahead of another sizzling series of Love Island hitting our TV screens. Wouldn’t it be amazing to live the lifestyle of an islander, lounging by the pool, sipping wine and soaking in the sun? That seemingly faraway dream could be an exciting reality, as Majorca is ready to make your holiday dreams a reality!
Why Visit Majorca?
Majorca ticks a LOT of our boxes! It’s an absolutely beautiful island with so much to do, from partying in BCM Mallorca to sunbathing on secluded golden beaches. The flight time to Palma from the UK is usually somewhere between two and three hours, meaning you’ll be there before you know it! Majorca has more than 300 beaches and coves, so if a seaside getaway is just the tonic you need this summer, then you won’t be disappointed. The white sands and beautiful blue waters make for the perfect place to relax under the Spanish sunshine all day.
Majorca is also a great place for adventurers thanks to its fantastic variety of hiking and cycling routes. If you’re hoping to hit some tracks during your visit, then we recommend planning your holiday to Majorca in spring, late summer or early autumn time. This is because the temperatures will be slightly cooler and the hustle and bustle will have died down. There are plenty of ‘must do’ cycling routes too! The Cap of Formentor is one of the most famous cycling routes on Mallorca. The picturesque northern town of Port de Pollensa is at the foot of the 20 km windy road that offers some of the most spectacular views of the island, finishing at the lighthouse on Cap de Formentor.
If you’re interested in exploring Majorca’s party scene, then you’ll definitely have heard of Magaluf, the island’s party capital. The main strip is half a mile long and has more than 50 bars, seven nightclubs and plenty of places to grab some food to fuel up for the evening ahead. The headliner spot is, of course, BCM Mallorca, the biggest club on the island. Over the years this club has drawn in some huge acts like Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Tinie Tempah and the late Avicii. This year is set to see another world-class line up including Solardo, Gorgon City, Roger Sanchez, Lovely Laura and many more.
Where’s Best To Stay?
It may be a small island, but Majorca certainly isn’t short of beautiful resorts to explore. The obvious choice for those who want to party is to stay in Magaluf. As we know, it’s one of the top destinations in the world for boozy bars and bouncing clubs, so staying in the heart of the party helps to bring the fun all day long! You may be hitting dancefloors and sipping drinks by night, but by day you can wind down on a divine, sunny beach or refuel in seriously Instagrammable cafes and restaurants. One of our favourite hotels in Magaluf is Cooks Club Calvia Beach. It’s an adults only spot that’s just two minutes away from the bustling strip so you’ll be right in the heart of the action here. There’s a tasty buffet and an a la carte food market here too if you’re planning to make the most of the hotel’s facilities.
For those wanting to branch out and venture away from the party capital, there’s so much more of Majorca to explore. To the north of the island, you’ll find places like Alcudia, with sophisticated yet vibrant beach bars and plenty of culture to soak up. There are stunning marinas and ports dotted around the island which would add a touch of luxury to your getaway. To go down a different route, you could even research fiestas planned at smaller villages throughout the summer. There’s more to Majorca than first meets the eye! For a hotel recommendation elsewhere on the island, we love the TUI BLUE Rocador in Cala D’Or. The hotel’s fronted by a curve of golden sand and everything within the hotel has a minimalist feel. This means up-to-the-minute rooms featuring fresh white walls that are offset by colourful murals. Outside, there’s a large rectangular pool. It’s set into a sun terrace and is bordered by towering palms. In the spa area, there’s an indoor pool and a whirlpool bath.
Will I Need My Factor 50?
You certainly will! The weather in Majorca reaches highs of 31°C in August and can still hit the 28°C mark in September. It may cool off slightly as we approach November, but it’s still warm enough in October to enjoy basking in the sun with a cocktail in hand.
