Majorca has long been a favourite holiday destination for sun-seeking Brits. During the peak season months, between June and September, thousands of enthusiastic holidaymakers fill up the beaches, bars and cheap hotels in Majorca. It’s not just UK travellers who enjoy the island, either. The King and Queen of Spain themselves were among the visitors this summer when they stopped on the island for their regular Balearics holiday. There’s no doubt that visiting during the summer months can be an exhilarating experience – particularly if you head to Magaluf to soak up the party atmosphere – but it can sometimes seem a bit too hectic. So, for those who want to explore the island’s diverse offerings away from the crowds a winter visit comes highly recommended.

Majorca’s ongoing success can be partly attributed to its ’something for everyone’ appeal. Whether you’re after beaches and seaside fun, or culture and fine cuisine, you’ll find something to suit. Families, couples, groups of friends, those on a budget, those with money, or those just looking for a change of scene can all find something in Majorca.

In one sense the island offers a tried and tested formula. You know where you stand with Majorca and know what you’re going to get when you arrive. For those who aren’t keen to take too much of a gamble with their cash this is particularly good news and the many cheap hotels in Majorca that are available help to ease the burden even further. In another way, though, Majorca has so much to offer that you could go back time and again and have a whole new experience each time.

Year round temperatures are a real advantage. Average temperatures reach highs of 29°C in August and then remain over 20°C into October meaning autumn visitors can experience the island’s offerings in comfort as well as relative peace and quiet.

There is plenty to enjoy, from the tourist attractions of the capital, Palma de Majorca, to the many and varied stunning beaches.

Experiencing the island during the winter months away from the peak season crowds is certainly a good way to get to know the real Majorca. You’ll also be able to take advantage of out of season prices at one of the many Majorca hotels so keep an eye out for deals online to get the most out of your money on your Balearic Island holiday.
