Spending Your Summer Holiday on Mallorca

Have You Already Booked Your Mallorca Holiday?

The tourist hubs are gradually filling up and the hire-car fleets at Mallorca airport are thinning out, the first signs of the start of the 2013 holiday season for this sun-drenched Mediterranean island.

While temperatures in Germany are still in hibernation, Mallorca is already geared up for the new summer season, and friendly spring weather with daily sunshine has woken the Balearic island for the coming wave of visitors. Freshly painted restaurants, renovated hotels along the Playa de Palma, newly landscaped gardens in Mallorca's premium locations and the sunny warmth of the Balearic island await travellers who choose a holiday on Mallorca this year.

Mallorca, lying off the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula, wins over countless tourists and short-break visitors from all over the world year after year. The sheer variety of the Balearics fascinates mass tourists, golfers, wellness travellers and luxury holidaymakers alike, and contributes to Mallorca's popularity as a favourite holiday destination. Anyone planning to spend their holiday on Mallorca should first gather travel information about the leisure, sport, culture and events programme for their travel dates.

The choice of interesting things to do is enormous. Sport lovers can enjoy all kinds of water sports such as diving, surfing, jet-skiing, sailing, tennis and cycling, or charter a motor yacht to explore the coastline of the Balearic island, swimming out to the hidden coves and beaches of Mallorca and enjoying the cool waters of the Mediterranean. The art and culture scene is present right across the island. High society and a luxury lifestyle in the south-west, artistic modesty in places such as Santanyí or Artà, rural finca life in the island's interior and dreamy mountain and sea panoramas in the north-west, along the steep coast of the Tramuntana mountains, all await holidaymakers in the summer of 2013 on Mallorca.
