Mallorca<\/b>, one of Europe\u2019s most sought out holiday spots, has indeed much to offer to its visitors. It\u2019s famous beaches with crystal clear water, picturesque towns, and villages, as well as a stunning landscape, attract year after year tourists from all over the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

But where should you stay when travelling to this pretty little Balearic Island? All Mallorcan regions have their own individual character, as you will see when we are traveling around the island in this blog post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Northern Mallorca \u2013 welcome to the relaxed way of life<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Northern part of Mallorca is a charming puzzle made of highly attractive beach destinations, such as <\/span>Pollensa<\/b> and <\/span>Alcudia<\/b> and the pure beauty of the <\/span>Serra de Tramuntana<\/span><\/i> mountains, with their highest peak, the <\/span>Puig Major<\/span><\/i> (1445 m).<\/span><\/p>\n

The northernmost point of Mallorca is <\/span>Cap Formentor<\/span><\/i> with the peninsula of the same name. Driving on the coastal route through the stunning landscape of <\/span>Cap Formentor<\/span><\/i> will be one of the highlights of your holiday. Some of the most picturesque bays on the island are here: <\/span>Cala Pi<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Cala Figuera<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alc\u00fadia \u2013 a traditional Mallorcan town<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"alcudia-city-walls\"<\/p>\n

Alc\u00fadia<\/b> is known for its beautiful <\/span>medieval city center<\/b> with its narrow little streets, perfectly restored Roman houses, medieval ramparts, and an Amphitheatre. Nice <\/span>beaches<\/b> are not far away from the city center and lovers of nature and sports will have many occasions to indulge in their favorite hobby. The countryside around <\/span>Alc\u00fadia<\/b> is beautiful and invites you to do some exploring, be it by car, bicycle or on a hiking tour. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are two <\/span>natural preserves<\/b> near Alc\u00fadia, <\/span>S\u2019Albufera<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>S\u2019Albufereta<\/span><\/i>, which are both attractive spots for bird watching and simply enjoying the beauty of the Mallorcan countryside. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa \u2013 rural atmosphere versus beach life<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"pollensa<\/p>\n

Pollensa<\/b> and <\/span>Puerto Pollensa<\/b> are located at the eastern end of the <\/span>Serra de Tramuntana.<\/span><\/i> The duo gives a perfect reflection of the two Mallorcan faces: the old town of Pollensa with its narrow little streets and ancient buildings has been able to save his traditional, rural atmosphere, whereas its charming little port, <\/span>Puerto Pollensa<\/b> is more lively and modern, relaxed yet with a sound touristic infrastructure. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of Pollensa\u2019s most famous attractions is the <\/span>Calvari Steps<\/b>. Starting at the Calvari Square, the <\/span>Calle de Calvari<\/span><\/i> leads to a highly romantic chapel nestled at the top of the Calvari hill. <\/span><\/p>\n

The main attraction in <\/span>Puerto Pollensa<\/b> is the splendid Pine Walk Promenade \u201c<\/span>Passeig Vora Mar<\/span><\/i>\u201d. From here you can enjoy scenic views of the mountains and the turquoise water of the Mallorcan sea, sip coffee in one of the nice caf\u00e9s or have a traditional Mallorcan meal in one of the restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mallorca\u2019s east coast \u2013 a family paradise<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"sand<\/p>\n

The east coast of Mallorca is perfect for family holidays as there are many child-friendly hotels, as well as a great number of apartments and villas to rent for those who prefer to prepare their own meals. The coastline is varied and offers everything you are looking for in your holiday. You can enjoy the beautiful beaches or discover the foothills of the <\/span>Llevant<\/span><\/i> mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cala Millor \u2013 a tourist hot spot<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"cala<\/p>\n

Cala Millor<\/b> is one of the more touristic cities in Mallorca. Its long and sandy beaches are surrounded by resorts, hotels and apartment blocks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Porto Cristo \u2013 stone houses and white villas shining in the Mallorcan sun<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"porto<\/p>\n

In contrast to Cala Millor, the small town of <\/span>Porto Cristo <\/b>is more quiet and authentic with many ancient stone houses and bright white villas. The city center is a maze of medieval little streets. Restaurants and shops are mainly to be found at <\/span>Passeig de la Sirena<\/span><\/i>, located near the port.<\/span><\/p>\n

Santanyi \u2013 back to the rural image of Mallorca<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"cala<\/p>\n

In contrast to tourist hot spots like Cala Millor, <\/span>Santanyi<\/b> is a charming little town in the southeast of Mallorca. Traveling in this part of the island invites you to discover the authentic Mallorcan lifestyle. It\u2019s a perfect composition of history and modern times, a beautiful place to spend holidays if you are looking for a place away from the crowds. There is the fascinating nature to be explored; those who like to spend their leisure time with sporting activities like hiking and biking will be thrilled by the stunning countryside surrounding <\/span>Santanyi<\/b> and <\/span>Cala de Santanyi<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

But <\/span>Santanyi<\/b> has still more to offer: the area boasts more than 35 kilometers of perfect sandy beaches. So, if you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday in a quiet part of Mallorca, this is the place. <\/span><\/p>\n

Southern Mallorca \u2013 idyllic and charming<\/b><\/h1>\n

\"southern<\/p>\n

The South of Mallorca is not a region with many famous attractions, neither are there any big holiday resorts. The character of this part of the island is rural and quiet. Idyllic spots on the coast and some little, charming towns make this, however, an interesting destination if you are looking for a relaxed holiday off the beaten path.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cala Figuera \u2013 the most beautiful fishing village of the island<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"cala<\/p>\n

Cala Figuera<\/b> is a former fishing village beautifully located at the bay of the same name. The village has been able to preserve its traditional charm. Cars are not allowed in the port area and there are no huge hotel complexes as there is no beach directly by the village. <\/span><\/p>\n

Felantitx and Campos<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"es<\/p>\n

Felantitx<\/b> and <\/span>Campos<\/b> are two rural towns in the South of Mallorca. They are beautifully set between large fields and plantations and not very touristy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Valldemossa \u2013 a picturesque little village<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"valldemossa-mallorca\"<\/p>\n

Valldemossa<\/b> is a small village in the foothills of the <\/span>Serra de Tramuntana<\/span><\/i>. Because of its idyllic location in the highly romantic countryside and its picturesque little streets, it is very attractive for visitors. Besides its natural charm, there are no major attractions in Valldemossa. It is however famous for the fact that Frederic Chopin and George Sand spent the winter 1838\/39 in the village. <\/span><\/p>\n

Soller and Puerto de Soller \u2013 a hikers paradise<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"mallorca-soller\"<\/p>\n

Both towns are a perfect picture of the authentic Mallorca. Since 2011, <\/span>Soller<\/b> is protected as a world heritage by the UNESCO.

Dei\u00e0 \u2013 enjoy the mountain life<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"deia-mallorca\"<\/p>\n

Palma de Mallorca \u2013 Mallorca\u2019s capital<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"palma-de-mallorca-la-seu\"<\/p>\n

But Palma is also a gem for visitors interested in history and culture. The city has a rich historical heritage and beautiful buildings, places, and narrow little streets are everywhere throughout the city center.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most famous historic building is the <\/span>La Seu<\/span><\/i> cathedral overlooking the city. This splendid gothic church is also known as \u201ccathedral of light\u201d because of its wonderful <\/span>play of light in the stained-glass windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Palma\u2019s historic city center is a maze of little streets, places, and steps. Cars are not allowed in most of the streets, so it is perfect for taking relaxed strolls and soak up the lively yet relaxed vibe of this sunny town.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the city is also perfect for extended shopping tours. Best places for shopping are<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Passeig d\u2019es Born <\/b>and<\/span> Passeig de la Rambla. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
