About the area

As the largest of the Spanish Balearic Islands Majorca is pretty easy to get to form most corners of the UK with a large number of flights taking around two and a half hours arriving in to Palma airport. Home to incredible natural beauty, the ideal Mediterranean climate, a rich culture and history and a host of gastronomic delights and outdoor activities this place is as close to being the perfect holiday home location as you can get. While the south of the island is where a lot of holiday makers head the north with spots like Soller and its beach area Port de Soller also have a lot to offer.
