Wanderlust

Majorca has made a name for itself as a popular summer holiday choice, but lesser known are its qualities as an autumn and winter sun spot. During the peak season months, between June and September, thousands of enthusiastic holidaymakers fill up the beaches, bars and cheap hotels in Majorca. Visitors span all types of traveller from budget-accommodation-seeking party goers to royalty. There are many great reasons to enjoy the fun and excitement of the island in the summer, but to get to know the real Majorca, a quieter break out of season is highly recommended.

The island’s continuing success is partly thanks to its wide appeal. You’re guarenteed to find something to suit, whether you like beaches, sun-worshipping and shopping, or perhaps prefer culture, sightseeing and fine cuisine. Everyone will find something to suit, whether they are visiting with family, friends or solo.

Majorca offers a tried and tested approach which means that visitors in some ways know what they’re getting when they visit. 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 available help 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. With average temperatures reaching up to around 29°C in the height of summer and then levelling at around 20°C into October, autumn and winter visitors can experience the island’s offerings away from the crowds.

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 take advantage of out of season prices at one of the many great value hotels in Majorca so keep an eye out for deals online to get the most out of your money on your Balearic Island holiday.
