The Last Minute Travel Fact Center

Majorca has long been a favourite holiday destination for sun-seeking Brits. Majorca’s beaches, bars and many good quality cheap hotels are filled with enthusiastic holidaymakers during the peak season months. And it’s not just British travellers who enjoy the island’s charms. The King and Queen of Spain themselves were among the visitors this summer when they stopped on the island for their regular Balearics holiday. While there’s no doubt a peak season visit can be exhilarating – particularly if you’re there to soak up the buzzing party atmosphere in Magaluf – the experience can also seem hectic at times. So for a quieter break in the sun a winter visit is the perfect solution.

Majorca’s broad appeal is a major factor in its continuing success. You’re guarenteed to find something to suit, whether you like beaches, sun-worshipping and shopping, or perhaps prefer culture, sightseeing and fine cuisine. Families, couples, groups of friends, those on a budget, those with money, or those just looking for a change of scene can all find something in Majorca.

In many ways the island attracts with its tried and tested formula. You know what you’re getting when you go there. For those who aren’t keen to take too much of a gamble with their cash this is particularly good news and the many cheap hotels in Majorca that are available help to ease the burden even further. In another way, though, Majorca has so much to offer that you could go back time and again and have a whole new experience each time.

The island’s year-round temperatures are a distinct advantage. Average temperatures reach highs of 29°C in August and then remain over 20°C into October meaning autumn visitors can experience the island’s offerings in comfort as well as relative peace and quiet.

From the sights and museums offered by the capital of Palma de Majorca – including the impressive gothic Palma Cathedral and 14th century Bellver Castle – to the island’s many and varied picturesque beaches, there is plenty to be enjoyed.

Experiencing the island during the winter months away from the peak season crowds is certainly a good way to get to know the real Majorca. You’ll also be able to enjoy out of season prices on Majorca hotels so that you get the most out of your money while you’re away.
