Majorca city trip at the beach
Majorca is a renown holiday destination for all types of travellers looking for either a family beach holiday, a beach and party trip, a quiet stay in the countryside, a base for cultural and historical daytrips, a Majorca citytrip or even a combination of all that. The Island of Majorca has many activities to offer, but many people might not be aware of where to find what kind of destination. The island measures about 80 km from one end to the other and it has 550 km of coastline. Along these coasts there are different kinds of beach resorts. If for example you’re interested in a beach holiday but you would also like to do some cultural daytrips then you might want to stay in the Balearic capital or in one of the nearby towns. In the capital Palma de Majorca you can find all sorts of Majorca accommodation, from family hostals, luxury hotels, cheap apartments and much more. Within the city you can visit many different museums, historical buildings, art galleries and other cultural activities. And for a day at the beach you can visit one of the resorts just outside the town.
If you’re not that much of a culture lover, but you would like to visit Palma anyway, you can of course do it the other way around and find a hotel in one of these resorts. Each town along the coast is different and attracts its own kind of visitors. Magaluf for example is very popular for groups of young English, Dutch and German groups looking for nightly entertainment in the many bars, pubs and nightclubs. The neighboring Palma Nova is much more of a family destination with a slightly smaller offer of hotels and thus less crowded. These two larger resorts are located a few kilometers to the east of Palma. In between there are the smaller towns of Cala Mayor just ouside Palma, the tiny Illetas, Bendinat and Portals Nous. These resorts are good destinations to find a suitable family hotel. On the west of Palma there are Ca’n Pastilla and Playa de Palma. The sand on the beach of Ca’n Pastilla is very clean and it’s know for the high quality of the sea water.
