On The Beach in Majorca
Majorca, in Spain’s Balearic Islands, can confidently boast a safe 300 sunny days every year. The warm, breezy Mediterranean air helps draw thousands of European holidaymakers to the beaches of Majorca annually, with the high season running from June to August. The summer season offers the best of some generally very good weather, and of course it’s the best time for many families with school-age children to travel together. If you aren’t limited by the same timeframe, you should consider booking your holiday to Majorca for early September (or even October). This way you can avoid the crowds without missing the gorgeous weather.
If you’re heading to the Balearics for the first time and are unsure where to go, check out onthebeach.co.uk for a range of Majorca holidays to choose from. Here, we’re going to take a look at a few of the excellent beaches you’ll find when you arrive.
Alcudia, on Majorca’s north coast, is a little over 62km drive from Palma. And it’s the perfect escape for those tourists seeking to avoid large, noisy groups of people. Alcudia is quiet, a family-oriented place crammed with fine beaches. The town’s historic centre has its roots in the 13th century – with a surrounding medieval wall to prove it. If you just want some quiet time with the family, Alcudia could be for you.
If you’re craving a bit of party action on your vacation, Magaluf is Majorca’s go-to destination for night owls. Famous for its super clubs and sprawling bars, not to mention some fine beaches, Magaluf caters to the younger crowd. It might get a little crazy if you’re planning on taking your family, especially during the peak season in July and August. Things get seriously quiet during the off-season, with the population falling below five thousand between November and March. Most resorts close doors during this period, however, so Magaluf is really an all-or-nothing kind of place. Avoid if you have young children.
Much more suitable for young families is Palma Nova. One of Majorca’s first purpose-built tourist resorts, the 600m long beach was first developed in 1935. By the 1950s, hotels were springing up virtually every other week, and the promenade has grown and grown ever since. The weather is warm, sunny and dry, with temperatures ranging from 10 degrees in December to more than 30 at the height of summer.
