Mallorca: good to know
Where should a couple stay in Mallorca for the first time?
Choose Palma for three nights without a car, Deià or the Tramuntana for scenery and restaurants, or the south coast when privacy and swimming matter more than touring.
Can you visit Mallorca without hiring a car?
Yes for Palma and a hotel-led short break with transfers. A car is the better choice for the Tramuntana, village hopping and remote coves.
Is north or south Mallorca better for a hotel stay?
The west and north-west win for mountain drama and villages; Palma and the south suit city access, short transfers and sea-focused resort stays.
