Mallorca Travel Guide

With a rugged backdrop and shiny new resorts, Mallorca remains an ever-popular island getaway.

A recent slathering of high-end accommodation has done much to broaden the island's appeal and help balance out the booze ‘n' bake package holiday associations. While these slick new resorts have injected many built-up beach areas with a touch of glamour, inland, the undulating landscape remains as rugged and striking as ever. The attractive capital Palma is a popular urban spot, boasting fashionable people, quality eateries and bubbling nightlife.

Away from the coast, particularly in the beautiful Tramuntana hills, the island has always been unspoiled. The capital, Palma, has developed into one of Spain's most beguiling and fashionable small cities. The package resorts still remain but their excesses have been curbed and the island is once again famous for its beautiful people and celebrated for its style.
