Search for your perfect holiday to MajorcaLatest last minute deals to MajorcaHolidays on Majorca“Majorca offers excellent value for money and has something for everyone – stunning scenery, glamorous marinas, great nightlife and fascinating historical sights.”It’s easy to see why the Spanish king moved his summer palace to Majorca – this island, the largest of the Balearic chain, is a dazzling jewel in the heart of the Mediterranean. But Majorca isn’t reserved for royalty or the Hollywood stars that frequent its shores - far from it. From non-stop partying in Magaluf to adrenaline-inducing watersports in Cala Millor, from gentle walks through tiny mountainside villages to long tapas lunches in cosmopolitan Palma, there’s something for everyone here. Beaches Majorca’s beaches consist of long stretches of sandy coastline in the north and tiny unspoilt pine-clad coves in the east. Cala d’Or has numerous beautiful, powdery coves and deep inlets which can get crowded, simply because of their beauty. Puerto de Soller has a narrow town beach of sand and shingle, and a delightful sandy beach at one end. If you can’t bear to lie still for long, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to watersports. Should they seem a bit too energetic, a trip on a glass bottomed boat is a pleasant and relaxing way to glimpse the colourful underwater life of Majorca. Shopping Majorca is renowned for its beautifully crafted artificial pearls. Found in shops all over the island, they make a great value treat or gift. Good buys also include embroidery, olive wood carvings, kitchenware and leather goods - look out for the factories found on the outskirts of most towns. Palma has everything from a wonderful flea market every Saturday to designer boutiques and high street chains, including a large, exclusive department store. Nightlife Majorca offers a variety of diverse nightlife, ranging from the lively bars, discos and never ending happy hours of Magaluf to the relaxed, seafood restaurants of Puerto Pollensa and Cala d’Or. Majorca has scores of English pubs and restaurants, but those searching for local flavour won't be disappointed - there is often a Balearic ballet or a Spanish play showing at the Auditorium in Palma, one of Europe's top concert halls. Majorca boasts a long and colourful history - its strategic mid-Mediterranean location gave it a part to play in the successive empires of the Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines and Moors. Sea-front sections of Palma's massive town walls survive to this day, some 800 years after the Moors constructed them. Local Specialities Eating out is one of the great joys of a Majorcan holiday. Local fare includes the Balearics' ubiquitous tapas and all manner of seafood. Charcoal grilled meat dishes, particularly those based on chicken, lamb and pork, are also deservedly popular as is 'arroz brut', the Majorcan equivalent of 'paella', served with steaming saffron rice and pork or chicken. Compliment your meal with a glass of the local red wine, not unlike a mild Rioja and round it off with a delicious 'créme catalan', a rich creme caramel custard. Highlights Pirates Adventure Voted the No.1 Night Out for families last summer. The international cast of world champion acrobats, beautiful dancers and hilarious comics will entertain you with amazing fights, acrobatic stunts and death-defying performances. For those over 18 looking for something even more adventurous - come and see Pirates Uncut. Son Amar Spectacular Set in a 16th Century Manor House, this cabaret show dazzles its audiences with its creativity, innovation and special effects. Spanish flamenco, Irish dancing and the very best in song, dance and comedy. The evening includes a full 3 course supper and drinks. Marineland Marineland is home to the best dolphin, sea lion and parrot shows in Europe. Marvel at the athleticism of the friendly dolphins; laugh at the comical antics of the parrots. There also are sharks, tropical fish, flamingos and penguins. Find out more about Thomson Holidays, including prices and availability.
