Nothing makes us crave the sunshine more than the unpredictability of the British weather, so why not treat yourself to a hard-earned holiday abroad, far away from all your responsibilities at home?
With a flight time from the UK of just 2½ hours, Majorca – the largest of the Balearic Islands – is an ideal holiday destination for sunworshippers, partygoers, culture vultures and beachgoers alike. As well as a host of attractions, Majorca also boasts a warm and temperate climate, with an average temperature across the year of 22.6ºC, as supposed to a much cooler 13.9ºC in the UK (The Met Office).
Often referred to as the Star of the Mediterranean, Majorca really does offer something for everyone, from sites of historical interest such as the Arta Caves, a network of underground grottos once used by pirates and smugglers, to the sophisticated nightlife in Alcudia Bay or Playa de Muro, or the more vibrant club scene in Palma, Puerto Alcudia, and world-renowned Magaluf.
