For a long time, Mallorca’s reputation was based entirely on its accessibility for those taking bargain package holidays, mainly due to the large-scale developments on the island’s south west coast. While cheap Mallorca holidays are still in plentiful supply, the east coast now has more than fifty secluded coves and caters for the more ‘upmarket’ traveller or those taking tailor-made holidays.
Magaluf has always been at the forefront of good value cheap summer holidays. It offers sun-kissed beaches and a nightlife that is the toast of revellers from across the UK. Some of Britain’s top DJs come here for short stints during the peak season and Magaluf becomes a whirlwind of sight and sound. However, it still has plenty to offer those taking family holidays; Marineland is a must for children or you could head off to the charming beachside hamlet of Sant Elm for a glimpse of more traditional Magaluf life.
Nearby Palma Nova offers a similar upbeat slice of holiday fun, with a town chockfull of bars and restaurants as well as a broad range of beachfront accommodation, while Santa Ponsa is another of the exciting resorts on the Magaluf axis. If you want to escape from the hurly burly down south, Alcudia in the north of the island is a more relaxed affair and culture vultures can find evidence of the island’s colourful past which has included settlement by the Phoenicians and Romans.
Mallorca is also an area of outstanding natural beauty; a visit to Sa Dragonera Nature Reserve will bring you close to wild olive trees and dwarf palms, Eleanor’s falcon and the many varieties of Balearic lizard.
No Mallorca holidays would be complete without trying the traditional cuisine. It is very Mediterranean and is rooted in peasant dishes, employing liberal amounts of local olive oil and wild garlic. Pork is one of the most widely-used meats on the island – most commonly found in sobrassada sausages - but the abundance of fresh fish is the most popular choice for tourists. However, there is a chance to try the two together in Mallorcan paella, washed down with a glass of local wine.
Cheap Mallorca holidays offer you the chance to turn a traditional beach holiday into an experience to delight all of your senses.
