Why choose Mallorca, Spain?
Long a favoured European destination for travellers all over the globe, Mallorca has a rich history of playing host to famous faces both now and in the past.
Its easy-going vibe, year-round sun, beautiful beaches and dramatic landscape make Mallorca the ideal place for leisurely trips to the beach, into the mountains and up into its unique hillside towns.
When you want to indulge in some glam, head into Mallorca’s stylish capital, Palma, for luxury shops, boutiques, cafes, bars and clubs.
For culture, there are historic ruins to be found all over the island leftover from its Roman, Moorish and Carthaginian rulers. From castles, to churches, period architecture and monasteries, Mallorca’s hilltops and towns are littered with fascinating historic relics.
Amongst Mallorca’s ruins you’ll find spectacular vistas across the limestone mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana and the Serres de Llevant. Dramatic cliffs and hilltops covered in almond, olive and carob trees, give way to vineyards, coastal roads and picturesque coastline below.
As famous for its hillside panoramas as its stunning beaches,dazzling luxury villas, glam beach clubs and hideaway coves, Mallorca offers something for everyone.
From watersports and swimming, to rock climbing, cycling, hiking, coasteering, wine tours, top golf courses, water parks, ziplining, family nature walks, museums, art galleries, shopping, top restaurants and pulsating nightclubs, on the days when you want to get busy, Mallorca has plenty of things to do.
And if you’re wondering where Majorca fits in, Majorca is the English pronunciation for Mallorca. Once used to avoid confusion over the Spanish pronunciation of double l, today, the island is commonly known by its Spanish pronunciation of Mallorca.
Best things to do in Mallorca, Spain
It is really easy to get around Mallorca, so uncovering the many things to do and see in Mallorca is simple. Whether you travel by bus, bike, hire car or taxi, you’ll find a wide range of attractions for families, couples and more sophisticated tastes.
Here’s our top picks of the best things to do in Mallorca.
Best things to do in Mallorca:
Best beaches: Mallorca’s spectacular white sands and clear blue waters are infamous around the world. There are hundreds of beaches in Mallorca, with something to suit every taste so it is difficult to pick favourites. Here are our top picks of some of the best beaches in Mallorca.
For a dazzling beach hideaway for the family, picturesque Portals Vells is hard to beat. Surrounded by pine tree covered cliffs, this beautiful beach offers a quiet escape, complete with caves, calm waters perfect for children, facilities and a couple of eateries.
Bahia de Alcudia is another great beach for families, however this lively beach offers a huge stretch of flat sand, the longest on the island, dotted with every type of water sport plus plenty of facilities and restaurants.
If you want somewhere you can explore, Canyamel Beach sits in a peaceful rural location next to wetlands and an estuary, with cliffs topped by pine forest behind. With facilities on the beach and an excellent local area to explore, Canyamel Beach is a great place to visit for the day.
Es Calo des Moro, Cala Sa Nau Beach and Cala Varques Beach are just some of Mallorca’s other top beaches and bays hidden in the dramatic hillside landscape that surrounds.
For endless white sands, Cala Millor Beach and Playa de Alcudia are both prized locations whilst S’Amarador offers yet another unspoilt shoreline, yet S’Armarador’s is part of the Mondrago National Park.
Other top beaches in Mallorca include: Cala Agulla Beach, Cala d’Or, Peguera Beach, Playa de Palma Beach, Cala Sant Vicenc Beach, Palma Nova Beach, Es Trenc and Cala Pi Beach.
Best local attractions:
Mallorca’s capital, Palma de Mallorca, has a wonderful collection of historical buildings and impressive architecture amongst its shops, bars, boutiques, restaurants, museums and cafes.
From the gothic Catedral-Basilica de Santa Maria de Palma de Mallorca (the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma) to the cobbled, medieval streets of the Casco Antiguo (Palma Old Town), 14th century Castell de Bellver (Bellver Castle), a unique circular castle – a rarity in European castle building and the splendid Arab-Christian Royal Palace of La Amudaina, there is lots to see.
The roadside view in Mallorca is spectacular so a drive along the Cap de Formentor is a must. This famous road criss-crosses the mountain side to deliver unrivalled views, which you can stop and admire from viewing points along the road.
Mallorca has long been a haven for creative types and there is no shortage of museums and galleries to uncover.
The island was once home to Joan Miro and her home has been turned into a fascinating local attraction. Miro Mallorca is a fabulous place where you can explore the artist’s works and working practices, take part in a craft workshop or see an exhibition, as you stroll through the site’s buildings and gardens.
There are many ways to immerse yourself in the staggering landscape that makes Mallorca so special.
For a memorable experience, take a hike through the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, along the Ruta de Pedra en Sec (the dry stone route). This stone hiking trail is a celebration of the artisan craft of dry stone wall- making, traditionally used in this area.
You’ll pass through beautiful hilltop forests littered with mountain wildlife, steep cliffs, olive groves, vineyards, ancient churches, monasteries and ruins – all the while with breathtaking views out to sea.
The Serra de Tramuntana mountain range is a UNESCO World Heritage Site so there are plenty of other superb trails to choose from.
Down below, the 25m deep Cuevas del Drach (Drach Caves) are a sublime way to see the rich marine life of Mallorca’s waters.
Stretching for 1200 metres, take a boat tour through the caves to Lake Martel, the Drach Cave’s underground lake – one of the largest in the world. Once you reach Lake Martel, you’ll be treated to an unforgettable classical concert, elevated the stunning natural acoustics inside the cave.
Top a fabulous stay with a trip to Katmandu Park, a much-loved theme park with rides, a water park, fairground attractions, crazy golf and a soft play area.
Best restaurants and bars:
Mallorca’s restaurant scene is world- class and you’ll find top restaurants all over Mallorca. Dishes are fresh and exciting with unique, modern spins on classic Mediterranean dishes using the best, local produce.
Restaurants and bars are plentiful throughout the region. For some of the best, head into Calle Apuntadores for all the best bars and restaurants in Palma. Serving up everything from Italian to Mediterranean, tapas, traditional local dishes and creative fusion gastronomy, this is a great way to get a true feel for Mallorca’s gastronomic explosion. Once you’ve eaten, stick around in La Lonja for all the best bars and clubs in town.
Top Mallorca restaurants include: Bens d’Avall, Adrian Quetglas Restaurant, Tapas De Sa Caleta, Marc Fosh Restaurant, Fera Palma Restaurant 7 Bar, Bottega Bay Rocks and Stones, Es Fum, Kingfisher Restaurant, Sa Roqueta Wine and Food and Zaranda.

Our Story
In 2005, John Paul Donnelly, began his luxury villa journey. He spent three years building resorts and holiday apartments in Alanya, Turkey, along with his brother, Joe. The concept was to create the most luxurious villas on the Turkish coastline and provide clients, along with their family and friends, the opportunity to enjoy exclusive holidays together.
By 2008, after the successful development of 3 resorts, JP had well and truly fallen into the world of villa rentals. With a portfolio of 6 villas and a desire to explore new places, he decided it was time to take the villa rental business outside of Turkey. He wanted to give his clients access to beautiful holiday rentals in destinations across the globe.
The expanding villa rental company was rebranded in 2011 to 5 Star Villa Holidays, and today 5 Star Villa Holidays offers over 10,000 luxury villas around the world.
JP and his partner, Helena are currently travelling the globe, devoted to hand selecting the best villas and property management companies, and giving them their stamp of approval! 5 Star Villa Holidays' ambition goes beyond being an ordinary holiday rental company. It is a marketplace for luxurious and exclusive villas around the world.
