Apartments in Mallorca/Majorca can usually be booked by the week and sometimes for a set number of days although during the high season many apartments only take bookings for one or two weeks at a time. It is worth checking if there is a stipulation on the day that you must arrive as some establishments start the week from a Saturday, meaning midweek arrivals will lose days.
Also worth checking is whether the agency or apartment you book with are charging the €1 eco tax per day, per person that all tourists to the Balearics must pay.
