Villa Rentals in Spain - Mallorca (Majorca) - Winter Or Summer, a Great Destination

    Majorca is probably best known for holiday villa rentals in Spain in the high season. Nevertheless holiday rentals in Mallorca are increasing in popularity in the low season when the weather is still sufficiently warm for a lovely holiday break. One of the reasons may be the many cheap flights to Palma Spain that are readily available to book direct or another reason may be the profusion of excellent villas and apartments that can be booked with the property owners direct. It is just as easy to get cheap flights to Palma Spain for a winter holiday in Mallorca as to get low cost flights to other Spanish destinations which are popular in the wintertime. A top quality villa or apartment to rent in a resort like Puerto Pollensa can be significantly cheaper in the low season than in the very popular summer season.

    An additional reason for the increase in off-peak bookings is the popularity of golfing breaks. The weather in Mallorca is just right for a golf holiday in Spain with average temperatures of 14 - 18° C. With 18 golf courses in Mallorca with ten more planned, three of which are under construction, Mallorca is a delight for golf lovers. The huge appetite for Golf on the island means that there is always a demand for quality self catering villas and apartments. Increasingly golfers are finding that Mallorca is an exceptional destination for a golfing break.

    The capital city of Mallorca is Palma and the Son Sant Joan airport is where cheap flights to Palma Spain arrive several times a day. The flight time from the UK is around 2- 2? hours depending on which airport you fly from and when you arrive local time is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. You can easily get to your holiday villa rentals in Spain, Mallorca by taxi or hire car depending on your preference.

    Villa rentals in Spain and particularly holiday rentals in Mallorca or Majorca (both spellings are acceptable) are in demand because of all the delights which are on offer to holidaymakers. The island is known for its lovely beaches, fabulous weather, and blue Mediterranean coastline and anyone looking for villa rentals in Spain couldn't go far wrong if they booked their holiday here!

    Holidaymakers who book villa rentals in Spain on the island of Mallorca have a large choice of resorts to choose from. The resorts at the south end of the island, like Magalluf and Arenal, cater mostly for those who want a lively holiday. On the north coast of Mallorca is the quieter town of Can Picafort which lies in the centre of the Bay of Alcudia. Also in the north is the resort of Puerto Pollensa which lies on the beautiful bay of Pollensa. It is protected in the north by the dramatic Formentor peninsula and in the south by a similar rocky structure leading to Cap des Pinar. With its sandy beach and beautiful scenery it remains a popular destination especially amongst holidaymakers from the UK.

    If you get bored with lounging in the sun outside your villa rentals in Spain or your apartment holiday rentals in Mallorca you may get the urge to explore the island. There are many sightseeing opportunities on the island and a favourite with holidaymakers is always a train ride from Palma to Soller. The narrow gauge train has been travelling along this route which passes through the Sierra de Ramunta mountains for nearly a hundred years. This picturesque train ride lasts under an hour and passes through some beautiful countryside including orange and lemon groves. When you get to Soller you can catch Mallorca's first electric tram which will transport you, albeit slowly, to the Port of Soller which is about six km away.
