One of the factors to consider when planning a trip to Majorca is definitely the area in which to stay. The island boasts a vast and varied number of accommodation options ranging from holiday villages to small B&Bs, hostels and flats.
Deciding where to stay in Majorca can be complicated given the large number of locations available and the many points of interest. Which city to choose as a base for overnight stays depends not only on the type of trip one wants to organise but also on the traveller’s needs. Indeed, the island is not very large but each location has different characteristics and peculiarities.
Some areas are suitable for those who love the nightlife, while others are frequented by those seeking peace and quiet. There are some areas that offer more facilities for families, while others offer more activities and entertainment for groups of young people. Whether you are planning a relaxing trip or a romantic getaway for couples, whether you are planning a family trip or a holiday with friends in Majorca, you can find the most suitable solution.
To support you in your accommodation selection, we have decided to publish this article on where to stay in Majorca recommending seven different areas on the island.
Here, then, is a guide to help you find the most suitable solution for your stay in Majorca!
Palma de Mallorca is often chosen as the main base during a discovery trip to this magnificent island. The city offers its visitors a stay full of history, relaxation and entertainment. In Palma, in addition to visiting numerous attractions such as the Royal Palace of Almudaina and the city’s cathedral, it is also possible to relax on beautiful beaches and spend fun evenings with friends in clubs or discos.
Thanks to its strategic location, excellent connections and dense public transport network, Palma is the perfect base for exploring the island. Due to its proximity to the airport, this location is also ideal for those who do not want to (or cannot) rent a car. Whether you are in Majorca for a long weekend or an extended stay, Palma boasts a vast number of establishments in which to stay at different price ranges and with different features.
Known as the ideal city for nightlife lovers, Magaluf is one of the cheapest areas on the island in which to stay. The high number of young people who choose this city as a holiday destination each year makes the prices of services and accommodation in this area very competitive compared to other areas of the island, especially for those who book in advance. Magaluf is a town that most visitors experience more in the evening than during the day.
Here, there are many clubs, bars, pubs that come alive from late afternoon until dawn, providing fun and entertainment for the movida lovers. For this reason, the city often only starts to come alive in the afternoon. Not only parties and entertainment, Magaluf also has a well-equipped sandy beach washed by a crystal-clear sea. Because of these characteristics, Magaluf is the right choice where to stay if you are looking for tranquillity and relaxation.
If you are looking for a location that is a good compromise between beautiful beaches and fun, Palmanova is the place to be. The town is located along the south-western coast of Majorca, a short distance from the city of Palma and the Son Sant Joan International Airport. Palmanova is famous for being a ‘quieter version’ of Magaluf as it offers beautiful beaches to relax on during the day but also plenty of places to party at night. Palmanova boasts three main beaches, Playa de Son Maties which is the longest, Cala Blanca and Es Carregador, all characterised by fine, soft sand and turquoise waters.
The choice of accommodation in the area is very wide and ranges from resort to hostel, from flat to inn. A large number of restaurants, clubs, but also shops and businesses of various kinds complete the city’s offer. Palmanova is, therefore, the right location for all those looking for a well-equipped destination, strategically located, with excellent beaches but also with a lively nightlife.
The northernmost part of the island is ideal for those who enjoy beautiful scenery, small picturesque towns and wonderful beaches. In particular, Alcudia is one of the most attractive areas to stay, especially if you are planning a family holiday.
The Port de Alcudia area has a large number of hotels within walking distance of the sea and numerous facilities such as children’s entertainment, play areas and the possibility of reserving sunshades and sunbeds on the beach. Besides boasting a long sandy shoreline, Alcudia also has numerous bars, restaurants, shops and centres for those who enjoy water sports.
In addition to the Bay of Alcudia, you can also consider the nearby Playa de Muro, which lies further north and is a well-equipped beach bathed by turquoise-coloured sea. The number of facilities and services is slightly less than in Alcudia, but still of a high standard.
Those looking for a romantic getaway for couples can choose the area of Illetas (also known as Ses Illetes) located along the south-western coast of the island less than 10 km from Palma. This small village is home to boutique hotels, 4-star resorts and luxurious facilities that often only accommodate adult guests.
In the area there are three beautiful sandy beaches with all amenities, while the sea waters are crystal clear and attract snorkelling enthusiasts. There are also numerous Beach Clubs where one can spend quiet days with numerous extra-luxury services.
In the evenings, Illetas is not as lively as Palma but there are a few bars and clubs where you can have a few drinks accompanied by great music. There is also no shortage of small restaurants, some of them top class, offering excellent local cuisine.
For a stay that combines great beaches and fun, you can go to Cala Ratjada. Located in the northernmost part of the island Cala Ratjada was once a small fishing village and has now developed into one of Majorca’s main harbours.
The area boasts not only a large number of hotels of different standards, but also nice beachfront flats. Besides this, restaurants, bars, shops and many other services can be found here. The beaches in the area are both sandy and rocky, while the sea is always crystal clear.
In the evenings, Cala Ratjada can offer a lively nightlife that is suitable for families with children as well as young teenagers. The only downside of this resort is that to reach the rest of the island and its attractions, it is best to have a car and allow for some time.
Are you looking for beautiful beaches and quiet coves? Cala D’Or is the location you should definitely consider.
Located along the east coast of Majorca, Cala d’Or is a village designed and built specifically as a holiday destination. Founded in the 1930s by Pep Costa, an entrepreneur originally from Ibiza, the houses and buildings here are all white and numerous businesses, accommodations and inns have been opened to welcome visitors.
If you want to experience the true essence of the island of Majorca Cala D’or is not the best place, as everything here has been built for tourist accommodation. Instead, the area is ideal for those seeking a destination full of services, amenities and beautiful beaches.
This stretch of coastline includes five beaches and coves that are among the most beautiful on the entire island: Cala d’Or, Cala Esmeralda, Cala Gran, Cala Ferrera and Cala Serena. The social life is also very lively thanks to the large number of clubs and bars that enliven the town life.
