Relax in Majorca

If you love golf, playing golf in Majorca amid beautiful landscapes and sea views in the sun can be the ultimate form of relaxation and there are more than a dozen courses on the island that can be reserved online or locally by telephone. However, if golf is not to your liking, Majorca has a whole range of other relaxation options besides lazing on the myriad of sun-kissed beaches.

Majorca has many health farms and spas where you can be pampered for days on end or simply enjoy a quick oil massage and sauna. A typical health farm in the mountains or down at sea level in Palma can provide health and beauty services, as well as various treatment therapies to give a total relaxation experience that need not break the bank.

Eastern treatments, such as Ayurveda and Karuna, beauty massages, yoga and tai chi classes, as well as spiritual retreats in a mountain setting can all be arranged in Palma. The Vita Zen clinic in Palma, with its eastern ambience, offers both western and eastern alternative remedies.

Taking time out and retreating to the mountains is a great way to spend a few days relaxing in Majorca. The majestic Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range is littered with scenic walking trails among olive groves and orange trees and the hilltop villages of Deia, Soller and Valldemossa are simply divine.

Apart from the mountains and health farms, there are plenty of destinations around the island which also offer the ideal environment for relaxation. The numerous hidden and unspoilt coves on the east coast of Majorca offer the perfect chance to escape the masses, as does renting a rural home, while the national marine parks of Sa Dragonera and Cabrera off the south coast of Majorca feature an abundance of wildlife.
