Mallorca is big and versatile! It’s the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, offering a wide variety of activities and attractions.

It has a toned-down version of Ibiza’s hippy, free-love spirit, infused with more Spanish culture—provided you avoid the notorious “drunk Brits abroad” resorts like Magaluf, which you definitely should!
