We may be a bit biased, but at Club MAC we believe that Majorca is the perfect holiday destination for you and your family. So, if you haven’t decided where to go next year, here are five great reasons to come to Majorca. We can’t wait to welcome you back.
Summer: Why is Majorca the place to come for the perfect holiday?
Majorca really does have something for everyone. We have endless sandy beaches, ideal sunbathing weather and delicious food. There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy all around an island that is steeped in history. And when you fancy a bit of modern-day city shopping you can head to our capital Palma de Mallorca.
- Beautiful beaches and picture-perfect weather
We are very proud of our beaches here on Majorca. There are at least 200 beaches to enjoy, with white sands and perfect blue-green seas to rival those in the Caribbean. Whether you prefer sandy beaches or quiet coves, there’s also a real diversity to explore.
Our very own Alcudia Bay is ideal for families, with seven miles of sand and handy facilities. Of course, perfect beaches aren’t much fun if the weather is awful. Fortunately, we have great weather here too. Temperatures hit at least 29ºC in the summer and only drop to around 15ºC in the cooler months.
- Delicious cuisine fresh from the sea
While we offer lots of different foods in our all-inclusive meals at Club MAC, Majorca itself is known for its seafood and Spanish cuisine. You should visit a traditional restaurant when you stay with us, and enjoy traditional dishes like Spanish paella.
There are great restaurants right across the island with many serving the very best in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine. It’s not all about the seafood either. Vegetarians can try all kinds of vegetarian tapas.
- There are endless outdoor activities to enjoy
If you’re looking for fun ways to burn off all that delicious food, Majorca has you covered. The island has loads of adventures on offer, whether you’re looking for a family outing or want to go on an adrenaline fuelled trip. If you’re feeling adventurous, canyoning is a great way to see some of the island’s most beautiful natural wonders. Before you know it, you’ll be zipping down natural water slides and abseiling remote canyons.
We also recommend walking in the Mondrago Natural Park (try and spot a gecko while you’re there!). Finally, Majorca is also world famous among cyclists. It has the perfect combination of hills and great weather that makes it an ideal place to train (or explore at a more leisurely pace).
- Explore Majorcan history
History surrounds you wherever you go in Majorca and there are lots of historical sites to visit in Palma itself. The 2,000-year-old capital is home to the Cathedral de Mallorca, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the spectacular Castell de Bellver.
But the island’s history also stretches right back to prehistoric times too, and you can still visit the remains of villages like Calvia near to Palma. We are also very proud of the Roman remains at Pollentia, close to us in Alcudia. It was a strategically important Roman city and has an excellent museum.
- Discover the capital of the Balearic Islands
Palma de Majorca is also a modern, vibrant city. It has a world-famous nightlife scene with many excellent bars, clubs and restaurants to enjoy. And it is also the perfect place to shop. Enjoy browsing in bustling markets or in high end boutiques when you visit.
Palma gets very busy in the summer, but the city is big enough to find a corner away from the crowds. If you’re looking for a bit of culture, then the Es Baluard art museum is well worth a visit. There are also plenty of great family attractions here too. We recommend the excellent Palma Aquarium for an entertaining day out with the kids.
There is always plenty to do in Majorca and we offer a number of excursions from Club MAC Alcudia. To find out more take a look here.
