Mallorca is the best known and largest of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. It is a very beautiful island with stunning scenery. There are wooded hillsides, towering mountains, gentle valleys, olive groves, ancient towns and villages, sheltered bays and marvellous sandy beaches. Mallorcas inclusive holiday tourism started in the early 1960s and they are still ahead with ideas and improvements. Mistakes that were made in the sixties or seventies have been rectified with many of the resorts tidied up and unwanted high rise hotels demolished to make green areas. Mallorca now has retained all the quality aspects that influenced people to originally choose it as a holiday destination of choice but has removed those that have blighted it. Mallorca is not only a beautiful place to visit but also has a beautiful climate to enjoy when you are there.

In terms of Palma Mallorca itself, the town has a fascinating history dating back to the 13th century with one of the must see sights being the 14th century Bellver Castle. You can wind your way through Palma's cobbled back streets and encounter wide, modern boulevards - ancient meets contemporary in cosmopolitan Palma, providing a delightful blend of culture, history and modern amenities.

Palma offers modern shopping malls, high-street shops and charming boutiques, perfect for die-hard shoppers, while Palma's numerous pavement cafes provide a welcome break in-between the city's magnificent sights. You can also stroll down the famous tree-lined Passeig des Born at the heart of Palma's historical centre, bordered by ancient narrow lanes and elegant palaces, or visit the sophisticated shops of the elegant Avenida Jaume III, one of Palma's best-known avenues.

Palma offers a fantastic range of bars and nightclubs, although the liveliest nightlife is to be found at nearby Magaluf (which we can arrange trips to) Palma's nightlife offers everything from a quiet drink to all-night partying - whatever suits you, Palma has a variety of venues to suit virtually any taste. Discos, bars and pubs aplenty which have an international flair and you'll also find the "Paseo Maritimo". It's yours to explore.
