There are a million and one reasons why so many people go on holiday to Majorca – knockout beaches and a trendy capital are just a couple of them.
King of the Balearics
The biggest of Spain's Balearic Islands, Majorca has long been a favourite with the world’s travel pack. It’s got extremely good looks on its side, after all. We’re talking tiny inlets, sweeping bays and sandy coves, all lapped by turquoise waters. And away from the coast, it’s a case of sweet-smelling pine forests, hidden hamlets and jagged mountain peaks. Not to mention almond groves that burst to life with powder pink blossom each February.
Popular resorts
Resort-wise, families flock to the shores of Alcudia, Puerto Pollensa and Cala Bona, which are brimming with restaurants, shops and cafés. Ca’n Picafort is another favourite. This former fishing village has got a 13-kilometre ribbon of sand to its name. Sa Coma, meanwhile, is great for couples thanks to its tree-lined prom and romantic eateries.
Bars and boutiques
Things get lively over on the island’s west coast, with the peppy duo of Palma Nova and Magaluf, which are known for their neon-lit bars and bass-pumping clubs. Palma, Majorca’s boutique-brimming, tapas-loving capital city draws a cosmopolitan cocktail crowd, too. It's not just eating, drinking and shopping that draws people here, though. The city's iconic cathedral, bustling port and charming old town deserve spots on your sightseeing list, and, if you're coming here in October 2024, you can even run in the TUI Palma Marathon.
Run in the TUI Palma Marathon 2024
The TUI Palma Marathon’s taking place on 20th October this year, and you could be a part of it while you’re on holiday. Put your endurance to the test in the full marathon, test the waters by running the half marathon, or take it easy and join the 9km race. The routes start at the iconic Palma Cathedral, and take you past the city’s bustling port. Plus, don’t miss the chance to mingle with your fellow runners at the breakfast run and pasta party the day before the race, and the afterparty in Mega Park.
