The largest Balearic island, Majorca, lays embedded in the Mediterranean near the western coast of Spain. It is regarded as the most beautiful and varied of the four islands, where everyone's dream holiday comes true. The capital Palma is a particular highlight, with its lovely Old Town and the world-famous cathedral. Long, fine sandy beaches in the north and east invite one to bathe and relax, and are particularly popular with families. Young people and party-lovers gather in the south, whereas the western landscape is rough and bizarrely beautiful. Water sports fans, passionate cyclists and hikers, too, simply have to love Majorca. Last but not least, the Majorcan way of life and outstanding local cuisine turn the Balearic Islands into a veritable holiday experience. Majorca - a Mediterranean holiday paradise!
The small resort Illetas is situated directly next to Palma and provides a combination of city break and beach fun. It is located on a steep, pine-covered coast and possesses a small beach, one of the loveliest bathing beaches near Palma. A day trip to the neighbouring luxury yacht harbour Portals Nous, with its many posh boutiques and chic restaurants, is also worthwhile. Illetas is a suitable starting point for trips into southwestern Majorca, as well as to the adjacent mountain region.
