Beaches galore

The pretty, clean beach of Porto Cristo is an excellent viewpoint for soft sand and clear waves. Many secluded coves are dotted about the strip of shoreline, making the perfect seaside spot. Small fishing boats line the neighbouring harbour – make sure you have a stroll here during your Majorca holiday. 

Adventurous activities

Enjoy exploring the fascinating caves. Drach is a system of four incredible smaller caves, while Coves dels Hams is a network of colourful stalactites and stalagmites. There’s an aquarium near the Caves of Drach, so you can get up close and personal with Barrier Reef fish and other magnificent underwater creatures.

A delightful dining scene

The tranquil location offers an array of chilled-out bars and eateries for the evening, rather than a full-on buzzing club scene that strays well into the small hours. You’ll find everything from tempting tapas to international cuisine.
