If you’re seeking a perfect mix of some of the most tranquil beaches, countryside, culture and entertainment then Majorca could be the ideal destination for YOU!

Don’t worry; we’re not going to sell it too hard (the island does that for itself)… but we are going to share our top 5 things to do in Majorca with you. The island is only 80km from one end to another and it’s very easy to explore with lots on offer.

Without further ado…

No 1. Visit the Cabrera Marine National Park. You’re going to need to hire a boat or jump on a tour to get there… but boy it’s worth the effort. You’ll discover hidden coves, crystal waters, beautiful fish and possibly the odd dolphin.

The park consists of a small island, which has a dramatic history to say the least. It’s been a reclusion camp for French prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars, a military zone since the 1980’s  is now an agricultural haven for locals.

Bad news for divers however, you will need a licence granted by the Government, which will last for just one day. But fear not… hiking is available and you’ll also find a museum, a 14th-century castle as well as a gift shop and café.

We discovered a fantastic walk on nymcam.co.uk around the stunning Boquer Valley in Majorca and felt the urge to share it with you.

It’s a 4 mile ‘off the beaten track’ walk with some breathtaking views.

See the full walk here.

The walk starts just outside the Oro Playa holiday apartments, Puerto Pollensa, along an avenue of ancient pines interspersed with tamarisk trees – the wide pathway was once part of the entrance road to the Boquer finca (farm).

Passing through the gates you’ll soon arrive at the castellated front of the farmhouse buildings.

From the farmhouse courtyard you will enjoy spectacular views south-east back towards the resort of Puerto Pollensa and in the far distance across the Bay of Pollensa, to the popular coastal holiday resort area of Alcudia  and south-west along a fertile valley towards the ancient town of Pollensa.
