Discover Mallorca - A Mediterranean Paradise

Mallorca is the largest of the Spanish Balearic Islands, which also include Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera. July and August are the hottest months, but the weather in spring and early autumn is dry and pleasant, making it perfect for hiking and sightseeing. The island extends approximately 50 miles from one end to the other, but boasts 340 miles of coastline, formed by rocky coves with sandy beaches and limestone cliffs.Rent a vehicle to explore the picturesque hillside villages, secluded beaches and breathtaking panoramic views of the rugged, spectacular western peaks of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Serra de Tramuntana. Pick up your hire car at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch at Mallorca International Airport, and start exploring.

History and Beauty

Before you head off to explore the island, it's worth spending some time visiting Palma de Mallorca. Don't miss the atmospheric old town with its narrow streets, the Gothic-style Cathedral of Santa Maria which dominates the skyline, the unusual circular Bellver Castle to the west of the town centre, and the 11th century Arab Baths.

Once out of town, drive up the Serra de Tramuntana, the mountain range that runs along the entire west side of the island, stopping off at some very pretty villages along the way. These include Soller, Fornalutx considered by many to be the prettiest village in Spain, and Puerto de Andratx with its glamorous yachts and upmarket shops.

Activities for Families

There are two water parks on the island, both within a 20-minute drive of Palma. Or visit Palma Aquarium, home to over 8,000 marine animals, and a fun and educational day out with the kids learning about the varieties of marine animals and their habitats.

On the other side of the island you can visit the spectacular Caves of Drach and the Caves of Arta. Young children may need to be carried as the tours involve a lot of walking and climbing of stairs, but it's well worth it to see the impressive stalactites, stalagmites and underground lakes. 

Best Beaches in Mallorca

Cala Llamp and Cala Marmassen are on the southwest coast, sandwiched between the sea and the cliffs. These coves are mainly rocky, so not ideal for families, but the water is crystal clear and great for snorkelling and other water sports. 

Families may prefer Cala S’Amarador, Cala Torta and Playa de S'Arenalet with golden sands and shallow water surrounded by nature and less crowded than the better-known beaches.

For beach clubs, sun loungers and food and drinks on tap, head to Alcúdia bay and its many beaches on the north coast .

Day trips

Valldemossa :A charming village in the Tramuntana mountains known for its cobbled streets and the historic Monastery. 

Alcúdia : A medieval town  rich in history from its Roman ruins to its beautifully preserved Old Town. 

 Sóller : A scenic town surrounded by orange groves. Take the famous vintage tram from Sóller to Port de Sóller for a beautiful coastal experience.

Cap de Formentor: The northernmost point of Mallorca with stunning coastal views.

Top 5 Driving Tips for Mallorca

1. As a general rule you give way to the right at intersections. On a roundabout, cars already on the roundabout have priority.

2. Speed limits are strictly enforced, so watch out for signs. 

3.  Many roads in Mallorca, especially in rural areas, can be narrow and winding. Drive carefully and be mindful of cyclists and pedestrians, particularly in the mountain villages.

4. Seatbelts must be worn both in the front and back seats. Children who are shorter than 135 cm (4 feet, 5 inches) must use an approved child seat or harness. If you need one, you can reserve and pay for your child car seat when you are booking your hire car.

5. It's illegal to use a mobile phone when driving, unless you have a hands free system.

Top 5 Travel Tips for Mallorca

1. While Mallorca is a year-round destination, visiting in the shoulder seasons (spring or autumn) offers fewer crowds and milder weather.

2. While many people in Mallorca speak English, learning a few basic Spanish phrases can enhance your experience and help you connect with locals. 

3 Many businesses close for a few hours in the afternoon for siesta. Use this time to relax, enjoy a leisurely meal, or explore quieter areas of the island. 

4. During peak seasons, attractions like the Palma Cathedral and the Alfabia Gardens can get crowded. To avoid long queues, book your tickets in advance or visit early in the day. 

5. While Palma is a vibrant city, the true charm of Mallorca lies in its countryside, beaches, and smaller towns. Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore.
