Accommodation in Majorca
Majorca is loaded with accommodation choices, so you will have no problem in finding a suitably priced hotel, apartment, villa or rural home. The main thing to remember, however, is to book well in advance as most places tend to get booked up early and many become full during the high season.
Majorca’s busiest time is during the summer months of July and August when many European countries have school holidays and the weather is at its best. All the resorts become full during this time and accommodation is difficult to find without advance booking.
Magaluf and Palma Nova, as well as Santa Ponça, Puerto Pollenca, Alcudia, C’an Picafort, Cala Millor, Sa Coma and Arenal have the bulk of accommodation options and consequently are usually the busiest beach resorts. For respite from the crowds, hiring a car and heading inland amid olive groves and mountains provides an alternative to the beach, while historical Palma has plenty of attractions for visitors.
Accommodation in Palma is generally a notch up from the beach resorts, with the exception of some exclusive areas dotted around the island, and prices are higher, as is to be expected with a capital city of its stature.
Package holidays
Package holidays are very popular in Majorca and can net you a great deal including flights, airport transfers, accommodation and sometimes even all hotel meals and drinks.

Apartments
Apartments are mostly available in the southern resorts and are more often than not cheaper than their hotel counterparts and come with self-catering facilities.

Rural homes
If a retreat to the mountains of the Sierra de Tramuntana sounds enticing, then renting a fully equipped rural home for a week or two could be just the ticket.
