Majorca has long been a favourite holiday destination for sun-seeking Brits. During the peak season months, between June and September, thousands of enthusiastic holidaymakers fill up the beaches, bars and cheap hotels in Majorca. It’s not just UK travellers who enjoy the island, either. The King and Queen of Spain themselves were among the visitors this August when they stopped on the island for their regular holiday in the Balearics. 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 those who want to explore the island’s diverse offerings away from the crowds a winter visit comes highly recommended.
Majorca’s ongoing success can be partly attributed to its ‘something for everyone’ appeal. From its beaches and holiday activities to culture and cuisine, the island welcomes all types of traveller. 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 where you stand with Majorca and know what you’re going to get when you arrive. This is particularly comforting for holidaymakers who find that their budgets are stretched and who may not want to take too much of a gamble with their cash right now, while the many cheap hotels in Majorca help to ease the burden even further. In another sense, though, there’s so much on offer in Majorca that you could go back again and again and have a completely different experience every time.
Year round temperatures are a real 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.
There is plenty to enjoy, from the tourist attractions of the capital, Palma de Majorca, to the many and varied stunning beaches.
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.
