Majorca is very popular over the summer months, so you’ll often find flights are cheaper from October to April. Autumn is a great time to visit Majorca if you’re travelling on a budget, with temperatures still in the high 20s, but the island and its beaches are usually very peaceful.

Majorca is a destination that can be tailored to any budget. Palma has a wide variety of restaurants, bars and hotels, ranging from exclusive five-star accommodation and Michelin-starred restaurants to simple, unpretentious establishments off the beaten track. To save even more, visit one of the island’s markets to pick up supplies for a low-cost picnic on the beach. The Santa Catalina market in the capital sells local produce and is open every day of the week except Sunday. Pollensa market runs on Sunday while Inca market takes place on Thursday. You can also find souvenirs and local, hand-made products to take home.

Once you land at Palma Airport, you’re just a 20-minute taxi ride into Palma’s city centre. There are also regular buses from the terminal which take you to the city’s central transport hub, and from there, you’ll find several bus routes as well as train lines to nearby towns and villages.  

Palma and Pollensa can both be explored easily on foot, or you can ride the cycle route that takes visitors along the seafront past Playa de Palma. 

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Majorca has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

Visit Majorca for the food, the views and some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean – there are 262 in total, ranging from big family beaches with watersports, to beautiful bays and quiet coves known as calas. Try Playa de Alcudia in the north for a spacious option. As well as being a famous destination for cycling, Majorca is also home to some of Spain’s best golf courses, while Palma offers excellent nightlife with chic restaurants and rooftop bars.
