What to do and see in Majorca, Balearic Islands: The Best Things to do

March 25, 2022 Hector Krause

The dreamy island that provided inspiration to Chopin and Miró now has a reputation as a spring break beach destination. Don't worry, though, if you're vacationing over elementary school spring break-- there's plenty for the younger crowd. Marineland's dolphin and sea lion shows and children's beach attract families. And if you have a Thomas-obsessed toddler, the antique train that travels between Palma and Soller is a must-see.

Majorka was for me very underestimate destination - I thought that this island is only for beach loafers. That was really big mistake! This was our second trip only on foot and I can recommend it to everyone who is not beginner and who has some experiences. We went from Sant Elm to Soller (+- 85 km), track was hard because of bad rainy weather, so it was dangerous - dry stones changed to wet and every step was like going on soap floor. There was no chance how to finished GR221, even bus from Lluc was stopped because of wheater. So we moved to San Picaford (eastern coast) and there we started GR 222, which is no less beautiful and wheater there was better (+- 55 km). People there are pleasant, nature very very beautiful, food excellent, accommodation very various in comfort and also prices, we tried everything from sleeping outside to 4* superb hotel - each way was magnificent. Thumbs up for Majorka :)

Artestruz Mallorca

A guide will teach you amazing facts about these ancient birds, in a safe and respectful environment. Tours are interesting, fun and very surprising. If you prefer not to go for a guided tour, you are welcome to meet the ostriches by yourself. Please check website for current prices and timetables.

This place is quite unique. It is a bit rough around the edges but for us this only added to the charm. The owners are very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. If they got tired of answering my children’s many, many questions it didn’t show! We had a fabulous time learning all sorts of interesting facts and were lucky enough to come home with an ostrich egg thanks to a very kind Italian family. This has gone to school so we can share the ostrich love with our friends in Newcastle!

A fabulous large sandy bay with all the amenities - beach beds, sun shades, restaurants, bars, water sports, etc. Areas are protected for swimming. Yachts/ motor cruisers gather here to Bob gently in the clear blue waters. Entering the water is a gentle shelf. Stop & look around. This place is beautiful!

Cuevas del Drach

World famous, are visited since 1898; inside is lake Martel, considered one of the largest underground lakes in the world, where live classical music concerts are performed every day. You can cross the lake on a boat at the end of the concert. BEWARE, there are two caves to visit in Porto Cristo, the largest and more frequently visited are the Caves of Drach. We advise to get tickets online from our web page, cheaper than at the ticket office and you don´t need to print it. Check carefully that you are at the real Cuevas del Drach, not at another caves nearby with confusing road panels, simulating to be Cuevas del Drach. On high season we advise strongly to book online from Cuevas del Drach official web site, with an small discount and ensuring your entry time.

Another culmination you shouldn’t miss when visiting the Islands of Mallorca: Situated on the Eastern coast, at the entrance of Porto Cristo, nobody expects the unique phenomenon and the magnificent charm on its own! By land or by sea (we made it by bus in the middle of the best month May! this year) easily gained the Caves of Drach, one penetrates down to unbelievable depths where nature and water did work and sculpt during millions and millions of years stalactites and stalagmites of breathtaking forms and outstanding beauty in light knitting. In jewellery-like forms and in an orgy of colours in an interlaced design to perfection, running along many galleries and pathways, astonishing the manifold reflections and gleams around, you attain the underground lake of Martel and experience the apogee with the classical concert life on board a boot. By this, on the waves of the deeply impressing classical music and the tenderly rocking boot one exalts from the depth to the heaven and will never forget this moments in a dreamed world.

Got a great deal with our TUI reps so got unlimited rides for €27 for adults €20 for the kids. Got a taxi from Santa Ponsa for only €9 so was cheap there was loads for the kids to go on so they were very happy,crazy golf took ages because there were so many people playing but was 18 holes and a laugh. There is a soft play area for the kids they are given a vest with a number on the staff take your number so you can leave them for an hour and a half in a safe environment so you can enjoy the sun and a drink with partner that was cool. I don’t recommend the snack shack food wasn’t very nice bit expensive and cold. All in all we had a good day and when you go In the crazy house there is a fab photographer to take your picture and they are good €7 each,gift shop is a tad expensive we picked up 2 teddy’s of the main attraction for €64 but they are memories to keep forever.
