Coastal Resorts for the Young and Families

The coastal resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova are famous for their huge range of 24/7 bars and clubs, and the hedonistic lifestyle which comes with them. Don't be put off if you're looking for something quieter. There are as many destinations catering for families as those focused on the twenty-somethings.

Inland Scenery

While the coast is undoubtedly stunning, the geography a little further inland just as beautiful. A little more rugged, it's a huge site for natural preservation. Traditional Mediterranean villages are tucked away on rocky outcrops. Many of which are favourites of climbers. The town of Calvia itself is a mix of the old and the new. As well as its early 17th-century church and traditional architecture, it also boasts some great family attractions nearby, such as the large Aquapark; and Mallorca Marineland, with its performing dolphins and sea lions.
