Holiday Homes on the island of Mallorca

Mallorca (or Majorca) is known the world over as the island off the coast of Spain with beautiful beaches and coves but it is also the perfect destination if you are looking for the best in picturesque countryside, golf, culture , entertainment and water sports. Measuring 80 kilometres from tip to toe, it boasts 550 kilometres of coastline, with white sandy beaches and secluded rocky coves. The coastal waters are blue and clear, making the island a popular destination for lovers of swimming and water sports, with plenty of opportunity for sailing , fishing, windsurfing and scuba diving. Mallorca’s interior is so varied, with nearly 40 percent of the countryside protected and of outstanding natural beauty. The Serra de Tramuntana Mountains in the north of the island have peaks of more than 1,400 m above sea level and the Cabrera Marine and Terrestrial Nature Reserve , which is a gathering of small islands about an hour away by boat.

The northern coast of Mallorca is rugged and has many cliffs. The central area of the island is generally flat and fertile and is known as Es Pla. The island has a variety of caves, both above and below the sea. Two of these caves above sea level also have underground lakes and tours can be taken to visit these wonderful sites. You can find them close to the Eastern coastal towns of Porto Cristo and are the Coves dels Hams and the Coves del Drach.

The capital of the island, Palma, is also the capital of the Balearic islands (Minorca, Ibiza and Formentera) and was founded as a Roman camp called Palmaria on the remains of a Talaiotic settlement. The Balearic islands have been an autonomous region of Spain since 1983 and are a popular tourist destination for visitors from Germany and the UK.

There is always something going on in Palma and the surrounding coastal resorts or you can escape for some peace and quiet to the small resorts to the west or east of the island.
