Welcome to Mallorca

Mallorca is one of world's best island

Mallorca (Majorca) is one of Spain's Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. It's known for beach resorts, sheltered coves, limestone mountains and Roman and Moorish remains. Capital Palma has nightlife, the Moorish Almudaina royal palace and 13th-century Santa María Cathedral. Stone-built villages include Pollença, with its art galleries and music festival, and hillside Fornalutx, surrounded by citrus plantations.

Mallorca has some amazing beaches and dozens of picturesque coves to choose from. Playa de Muro is the top rated beach on TripAdvisor for its white sand and crystal-clear waters. "A lovely golden sand beach with stunning views of the mountains and hills towering over an aqua-blue sea. It was truly the greatest beach view I have ever witnessed," wrote one TripAdvisor reviewer.

The island has been a big inspiration for generations of artists, writers and musicians, who have flocked to its shores in search of inspiration. The composer Chopin spent the winter of 1838-39 in Valldemossa along with the French writer George Sand. Chopin was inspired to finish the Preludes, Op 28 that he had begun in 1835, while Sand described her time in Mallorca in A Winter in Mallorca, published in 1855.
