Majorca — Palma's Golden Cathedral ⛪
The largest Balearic island in full summer swing: a colossal Gothic cathedral glowing over the harbour, a maze of Old Town streets built for wandering, and beaches from bustling Playa de Palma to hidden coves along the coast — hotels and flights combined comfortably under £1000. Every link takes you straight to Trip.com to check live prices and book.
🏨 Where to Stay
- Posada Terra Santa — flagship, 16th-century manor house — a restored Old Town manor with a rooftop pool and spa, its leafy courtyard hidden away amid the narrow lanes near the cathedral.
- Hotel Almudaina — smart pick, rooftop sky bar — a well-run 4-star in the heart of Palma, with an 8th-floor Sky Area terrace looking out over the cathedral and Bellver Castle.
- Hotel Can Cirera — hidden gem, next to the cathedral — a genuinely peaceful boutique hotel in a restored historic building, literally steps from La Seu, with a personal, unhurried feel.
- Hotel Mirador — attainable pick, on the sea promenade — genuinely good value on Palma's waterfront, with a spa and marina views a short walk from the Old Town.
- Hotel Amic Gala — family-friendly pick, on Playa de Palma — a relaxed beachfront hotel steps from the sand at Can Pastilla, close to the aquarium and an easy transfer from the airport.
