Northen Mallorca
The northern part of the island is home to Badia de Pollenca and Badia d'Alcudia - two large sweeping bays that are very popular with tourists during the summer and consequently, there is a large stock of holiday rental accommodation. In the north western corner, there is the Serra de Tramuntana - Mallorca's largest mountain range running from Andratx to Pollenca with the Puig Major topping out at 1445m. These mountains are home to some of Mallorca's most extravagant and secluded villas and attract the adventure travellers who like trekking and mountain biking.
Southern Mallorca
The south of the island is home to the capital, Palma de Mallorca and some of the better known beach resorts such as Magaluf, Palmanova, Portals Nous, Santa Ponca and Peguera. There is also the Serra de Llevant - Mallorca's second mountain range in the south east which, whilst not as steep or high as the Serra de Tramuntana, still provides walking and cycling trails for beginners through to experts.
For winsurfing and kitesurfing, the beaches around Can Pastilla are on a par with Pollensa in the north whilst the coves around the southwest of the island are famous for snorkelling and diving.
A Four Season Holiday Destination
With 300 days of sunshine, Mallorca is a year-round playground with weather to suit sun worshippers and outdoor sports enthusiasts - the best time to visit really depends on what you want to see and do. Much of Mallorca has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, winters. On the coast during the summer, the average daily high temperature is around 82°F/28°C. In the Serra de Tramuntana mountains in the north, temperatures are slightly cooler and during the winter months, it has been known to snow!
