Majorca, Balearic Islands

Hotels, Villas, Fincas on Mallorca - Spain

Holiday home on Majorca
Some jokers have already suggested making this island which is such a popular holiday destination with Germans into a new German state. The proud Mallorquins would have certainly protested. They love their island just as intensely as the tourists love the "Ballermann" party district.

And they know that ever-increasing numbers of tourists and wild parties are only one facet of Mallorca, which is so rich in natural beauty and culture - in addition to bars and discos, there are fascinating scenery, the typical windmills, towns rich in tradition, regions dominated by quiet broken only by the cicadas, and bays where you can swim in near solitude. Whether for partying or relaxation - a stay in a hotel or holiday apartment on Mallorca is certainly a good choice.

 

Hotels on Mallorca

Mountains, caves, and the sea
The Mallorquins call their island "La Luminosa"- "the luminous." This is an expression of their pride in their home, where often several generations of their family have lived. Many famous personalities such as Boris Becker, Claudia Schiffer, and Michael Douglas have bought property on Mallorca.

Usually, it was not so much the party image that attracted them as the other features of the island: the former monastery in Valldemossa in the north, which still tells of the tragic end of the romantic love story between the writer George Sand and the composer Frederic Chopin. The small town of Soller invites you to enjoy one of the most beautiful spots on the island; here, surrounded by shade trees and impressive facades, the culinary delights are especially delicious. Of course, Mallorca is a beach island - many tourists choose hotels, guesthouses, or holiday apartments near the sea; family-oriented beaches and solitary bays are perfect for holidays on the beach.

In some seaside towns, you can enjoy water-skiing or - pulled by a boat - flight with a parachute. Much less well-known than the seaside areas are the mountain regions of Mallorca. The Sierra de Tramuntana in the northern part of the island is perfect for hikes through the fruitful valleys and along rocky coasts. Mallorca has natural beauty as well as ornate buildings. Numerous citadels and monasteries vie for visitors along with the caves of Portochristo with Europe′s largest underground lake, nature parks such as Albufera, or the famous cathedral of Palma. Not to mention the "Ballermann" - part of the large party district. For those who want to flirt, dance, and turn night into day - southern Mallorca is perfect. So rent a holiday apartment, pack a few good friends and you?re ready to go!

Holiday homes on Majorca
Fincas, country houses that are used as holiday homes, are plentiful in all regions of Mallorca - traditional stone fincas, newly constructed luxury villas, and many less expensive varieties.
The ambience ranges from comfortably rustical to "simple, but good" to modern design. If you wish, you can choose a finca in the middle of a nature preserve, one with two pools and a winter garden, or a more affordable one with a simple garden and optimal furnishings. Enjoy a sea view from your own patio - there are houses on Mallorca that offer you this. Some holiday apartments also offer breakfast or half-board. This allows you to combine the freedom of living in a holiday home with the ease of not having to cook all the time. Pamper yourself.
