I wanted to tell you how fantastic the Hotel Guru site is! I booked three weeks of hotels, mostly using a combination of information from your site in conjunction with the red Michelin guide. I have already recommended your site to at least five people! Susan Schaps.

Mallorca - Outside Palma

The largest and best-known of the Balearic islands, Mallorca (also spelled Majorca) is a popular holiday destination with glorious sandy beaches in the south, and towering mountains, sheer cliffs and rocky coves in the north. It is highly developed for tourism in certain parts, particularly the area just outside Palma and around Magalluf, Pollensa and Alcudia. Despite this and the island’s appeal as a place for retirement and building second homes, there are some stunning areas in the centre and north-west that remain quite unspoiled. This selection of hotels in towns and the countryside outside the capital ranges from sophisticated urban villas to peaceful country fincas, enticingly off the tourist trail.

The order by which the hotels are listed bears no reflection on our preference. For the best time of year to visit Mallorca/Majorca, check out the weather in Majorca.
