Every place you travel has something special to offer. No matter where you go, each destination has something that makes it unique, whether it's the food, the people, the culture, or something else entirely. Some places are even lucky enough to have more than one thing that attracts visitors to them, like Mallorca. The small Spanish island is one of those places that seems to have it all. Despite its small size, Mallorca boasts a wide range of attractions, from adventure to leisure, and all with stunning Mediterranean beaches.
It's easily accessible from Spain, as well as many other European locations, and ferries make other nearby destinations like Ibiza just a short trip away. The island is divided roughly into three geographic regions: the Serra de Tramuntana, the Serra de Llevant and the central plain. Here, even the prices range enough to fit any budget. The coastal towns, of course, are more expensive, but every KM into the central region will bring more budget-friendly options.
While most major locations are reachable by bus or train, renting a car and driving yourself is also a great option. Outside of high season, reservations aren't necessary, though on-the-spot rentals can be more expensive than booking in advance. This way, you can visit all the must-see sites in Mallorca, like the Serra de Tramuntana (also known as the Spanish Grand Canyon), the Castell de Bellver, or the Coves de Campanet, all on your own time.
Then, when you tire of hiking, cave-diving, or shopping, you'll find plenty of places to relax in Puerto de Soller or take in the views at Punta de N'Amer, where the you can visit the natural park and museum free of charge. Whatever you're looking for on your next vacation, Mallorca is sure to have it - all within close proximity. In fact, according to Book Mallorca, it takes less than 12 hours to drive the entire island - which is exactly why you should book your car and hit the road ASAP.
