Ibiza Hotels, Majorca Hotels, Apartments, Accommodation

Majorca, one of the Balearic island group, is Spain's largest island and has been an extremely popular tourist destination for over half a century. Its capital is Palma, with its amazing fourteenth century Gothic cathedral watching imperiously over the city. But it is the island's abundance of sandy beaches that make it such a popular tourist destination just Discover Majorca's Best Beaches!

The resorts on the south of the island are a great favourite with younger tourists. To the west of Palma is Cala Mayor, a 200 metre natural sandy beach fringed by palm trees; while east of the capital and barely a stone's throw from the airport, is Palma's largest beach, Platja, or Playa de Palma. This is a 6 kilometre stretch of sandy beach, with a parade of bars, restaurants and tourist shops along the promenade. Because traffic is not allowed near the sea-front, the clear, unpolluted atmosphere makes this an extremely popular and pleasant spot. And if you are planning holidays in Majorca, and Discover Majorca's Best Beaches, I recommend you to book Majorca accommodation in advance, to find good offers for Majorca apartments or hotels.

Playa de Palma nestles between El Arenal and C'an Pastilla and a mini train links the three resorts together. By night the area teams with young singles out to make merry and dance the night away in the various clubs abounding the area.

If a more sedate and relaxing holiday is your aim, then Puerto Pollensa, on the opposite side of the island, will probably suit you better. Being the farthest resort from the airport means you won't be constantly disturbed by low flying aircraft. A few kilometres inland from the port area lies the old Roman town of Pollensa, but the hotels and resorts tend to cluster around the port, whose bay comprises of several beaches, some natural, some man-made.

The impressive Sierra de Tramuntana range of mountains towers over the area like a watchful sentinel. From here numerous mountain walks afford a welcome respite from the heat of the beach and breathtaking views out over the bay. This is a popular area for families wanting something more than sun, sand and clubs. However, for the occasional treat, the nearby resort of Alcudia offers fine, sandy beaches, clear, shallow waters and a wide variety of watersports and other beach facilities.

With over twenty beaches and resort areas all around Majorca there is certainly something to suit every taste and every budget. From the unspoilt rugged west coast with its gravel beaches and stunning mountain walks to the upmarket man-made sandy beaches of the east coast's Cala d'Or in Santanyi, Majorca prides itself in catering for every tourist taste.

Come to Discover Majorca's Best Beaches! You won't be disappointed...

Also, visitors should not miss the Platges de Comte or the beaches of Pou des Lleó, which are also worth visiting. Families can especially enjoy the beach "Platja d'en Bossa", which is very huge and perfect "playground" for the small ones.

The turquoise blue water is not a result of the weather or the cleanness of the water. It is more the Posidonia Oceánica, which is a plant that is responsible for the paradisiacal colour.

Ibiza's coast can offer also a lot concerning culture. Interested visitors are free to discover treasures of bygone times. An example would be the Phoenician village near Sa Caleta or the old watchtowers along the coastline.

Mallorca tourists are known to be loud and drunk all time. But the cliché is not present any more. Laws have been passed with new rules of regulations. Insiders know that not since that decision Mallorca has to offer calm and relaxing regions.

Tourists that book a hotel in Mallorca or an apartment in Mallorca often choose their hotel only regarding to number of stars and the proximity to the beach. But the location needs to be put into consideration also. Therefore, small and rather unknown places can offer you relaxing holidays.

Located in the North of the island, just in the opposite direction of Plma de Mallorca, you will find the small city of Pollença and its bay. Pollença is home of 12,000 inhabitants and several art galleries. This makes the city to one of the cultural centers. Also, there are a couple of paradisal holiday apartments.

Approximately 20 Kilometers away, you will find the Cape of Formentor. A beautiful panorama street leads up the Mallorca's highest point. From there, you have a magnificent view of the island and the sea.

Nice beaches can be found at the bay of Pollença. This bay and its neighbouring bay of Alcúdia are known to be silent and restorative. This bay offers 10 km of great beach and is little bit larger than the bay of Pollença. Sunseekers will love that place, as long as you look for some relaxing hours in the sun. 

When people think of Majorca they always think the only thing one can do there is party. But Majorca is a lot more than just this cliché. There is a lot that you can visit and a lot of nature that you can discover. So just book a Majorca hotel and enjoy this unique island. If you want to go in the nature during you Majorca holiday go to Cap Formentor.

Along the whole way, which is 13 kilometers long, you have several viewpoints where you can even recognize Menorca. Furthermore, the ragged cliffs are astonishing and you will find every time new forms in it.
The peninsula is also called the Meeting point of the winds because the winds are really important for the inhabitants of the island.

Today lots of landscapes are named after them.
If you go down, the street will lead you through a pinewood which finally will end on one of the most beautiful bays on Majorca. Here you could make a break, enjoy the rest of the day and watch the sunset.

In the southeast of Ibiza there is the municipality of San José. The town Sant Josep de sa Talaia was named after the mountain located nearby. This region accommodates the island's most beaches and coves and covers a coastline of nearly 50 miles. Cala Comte, Cala Bassa and Cala Vedella are the three most beautiful coves, they even were rewarded with blue flags.

Escape from the larger tourist resorts to these hidden coves of clear and turquoise blue waters. Some of the larger beaches are surrounded by pine forests. Pine forrests are abundant on Ibiza and its smaller neighbour Formentera. This is why they are popularly nicknamed „Las Pitiusas". You can easily find beautiful Ibiza apartments and Ibiza hotels close to these beaches.

Besides beautiful beaches and impressive natural parks San José also has a great historical heritage. You can visit the Punic-Roman rural settlement of Ses Païses near Cala d'Hort and another historical attraction is the Phoenician village in Sa Caleta. There are also two famous watchtowers, the Torre de ses Portes and the Torre de Comte, both built during the 17th and 18th centuries by locals to prevent invasions from the sea. Furthermore there are some marvelous churches in this region. Something you really shouldn't miss while vacationing in this region is the Cova Santa, a 25 meters deep natural cave with many stalctites and stalagmites.

In the town of Sant Josep you can also enjoy all sorts of sports and the town hall organizes many cultural and traditional activities and events throughout the year. If you want to come and enjoy the southeast coast of Ibiza you can either choose to stay in the cultural center and take an Ibiza holiday accommodation in San José or the neighbouring town of San Augustin or choose to spend most time along the coast visiting the many beaches and staying in an Ibiza hotel or Ibiza apartment in for example Cala Tarida or in Cala Vadella.

There is a quality found on the Balearic Island of Menorca that comes from the fact that it is the smaller gem of land of the Spanish islands in the Mediterranean Sea. While boasting the same number of wonderful beaches as its larger neighbours, Mallorca and Ibiza combined, it has largely been spared the growth and development that occurs in places of such beauty. You can experience that beauty by visiting the island and live in a nice Menorca Hotel or Menorca apartment.

As is the case with most islands of the Mediterranean, there is a sense of historical significance that seeps from the earth. A collection of Megalith stone monuments marks the evidence of a prehistoric, human influence and throughout the centuries, various civilizations have laid claim to the beautiful island.

People from the ancient Isle of Crete are thought to have influenced the early inhabitants of Menorca and the Romans and Iberians warred with pirates who pillaged along the trade routes of the warm sea. In the 16th century, Turkish warships decimated the cities of Mao and Ciutadella.

The British eventually laid claim to the island in 1708 during the War of Spanish Succession and for a turbulent century, the King of England counted Menorca as part of the empire. British influence can still be found in the architecture and in the local love of gin.

The modern culture on the island carries a traditional quaintness. The people are extremely hospitable and they have a passion for summer fiestas. Several Menorca accommodations invite visitors for a stay. Locally bred black horses and their riders often parade through town during these events and provide visitors with a unique view of tradition that goes back centuries. Music festivals also abound and visitors are treated to international opera week in Mao and the Summer Music Festival and the Capella Davidica Concerts in Ciutadella.

The island also offers numerous museums of cultural significance, notably the Museo de Menorca and the Museo Hernandez-Sanz in Mao and the Museo de la Natura in Ferreries.

Of course, the natural beauty of the island is one of its greatest attractions. There are countless beaches to enjoy and the snorkeling and scuba diving are considered by many to be some of the best in the Mediterranean Sea. Along the beach you can find numerous Menorca hotels which guarantee you a great closeness to the sea.

Menorca truly is the Pearl of the Balearic Islands with something to offer everyone. One of its greatest traits, however, is the relaxed atmosphere that can only be found in island living! To spend a Menorca holiday there is definitely worth it.

Majorque (Mallorca in Catalan and in Spanish) is the biggest island of the Balearic Islands, which the archipelago also includes Minorque, Ibiza and Formentera, in the Mediterranean Sea, off Barcelona.

The island counts approximately 730 000 inhabitants. Iits capital is Palma de Majorca - Ciutat. It includes 6 main lands: Tramuntana (mountains, in the North), Ponent (in the southwest), Raiguer (farmlands and wine at feet of the mountain), Pla (in the center), Migjorn (in the East), Llevant ( southeast) and the city of Palma.

It was lived from the prehistoric period (sites of Ses Païsses, near the city of Arta), then by Romans (ruins of Roman Alcúdia, ex--Pollentia), replaced by the Moors Almoravides, then the Almohades (from 902 in 1229), followed by the Catalans. The island was the center of an independent kingdom which existed from 1276 till 1344, the kingdom of Majorca.
The Catalan is the official tongue, and the more used in Mallorque, before the Castilan.

Approximately 93 % of its gross domestic product results from the tourism, developed from 1960s. For the Germans, Majorca is one of the main places of holiday resort European, thus attracting(enticing) number of foreigners, what was worth in the island the ironic nickname of seventeenth Land. The traditional agricultural activity is centred on the vegetable productions: wine ( Binissalem), almonds, olives, vegetables.

If in many spirits Majorca remains synonymic of anarchy tourism, inhaled by the sea and pushed by an urbanization of mass (" balearisation "), the island and the majorquine life offer many aspects which contradict this vision: protected agricultural villages, diverse tracks of past cultures, art and culture (in the XVth century, the philosopher Raymond Lulle based in Majorca a considered school of languages and theology) , walking and hiking in the mountainous zones, the gastronomy. Our selection of hotels in Mallorca will no doubt charm you

The tourist influx became more varied (previous history and lifestyles), with a growing part of immigration of European of the North coming to settle down permanently on the spot.

Fortunately for some years, this "Balearisation" is more and more controlled by the avid government for protecting its inheritance and culture.
Many zones were decreted natural Reserve, thus protecting the littoral against this anarchistic expansion.

Our selection of accomodations in Mallorcaon the coast on the beach, on the rural suburban side and in Palma will surely seduce you!

The Balearic Islands are known for their beautiful white sandy beaches. Especially the beaches on Ibiza are stunning. Besides the long, white and pretty crowded beaches around Ibiza Town and in the big tourist resorts, the Island offers hundreds of small, deserted beaches. Often surrounded by rocky cliffs and sometimes not even accessible by land. These beaches, or calas in the local tongue, are astonishingly gorgeous. The sand is extremely white and fine, and the seawater very clear and blue. When you leave your Ibiza hotel or your Ibiza apartment to take a trip around the Island, to spot all the tourist sights, or to hike around the amazing natural environment, it?s a good idea to take rest and relax at the beach. Besides being a good place for swimming and getting a tan, some beaches are also great fishing spots. Take out your fishing gear to Punta de Sa Galera for example.
