About 100 kilometres from east to west and 75 kilometres from north to south, Mallorca is an island of huge contrasts with bustling international tourist & holiday resorts in the south west and a beautiful, unspoilt mountainous region in the north. The capital, Palma de Mallorca, is fast gaining a reputation as one of the Mediterranean's most exclusive holiday destinations, with its impressive yacht marinas, world class shopping and enchanting old town full of charming restaurants and tapas bars, whilst nearby Magaluf is a magnet for package holidaymakers and fun-seekers.
Most tourists head for the south of the island but those taking the time to explore the northern coast and inland areas will find a rural heartland virtually untouched by tourism and dramatic, rugged mountains concealing pristine deserted beaches.
From the southeast tip of Mallorca (Majorca), you can take a boat trip out to the beautiful archipelago of Cabrera which has been declared a National Maritime Territorial park. The crystal clear waters here are a paradise for divers and snorkellers.
