Why you'll love it
Mallorca is the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands, with sandy bays, hidden coves and mountain villages. It scores 9 out of 10 for beaches, and 8 for food, romance, families and safety, so it works equally well for a family beach holiday or a couples' escape.
The best time to visit Mallorca is May to June or September, when the sea is warm and the island is calmer than in the July and August school holidays.
Palma, the capital, has a striking Gothic cathedral and a lively old town. The Serra de Tramuntana mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are dotted with villages like Valldemossa and Sóller. Around the coast, small coves called calas offer clear water for swimming and snorkelling.
Mallorca suits families, couples and anyone mixing beach days with exploring.
