While Majorca is known for its popular beaches and lively cities, the island also boasts hidden gems that offer unique experiences away from the main tourist trails. These lesser-known spots provide beautiful scenery, authentic charm, and unforgettable moments, perfect for those looking to explore Majorca’s true character.

Sa Calobra – A Scenic Drive to a Hidden Cove

Sa Calobra is a hidden gem nestled between dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters. The journey to Sa Calobra is an adventure in itself, with a winding mountain road that offers breathtaking views at every turn. Once there, visitors can explore the small pebble beach, the famous Torrent de Pareis gorge, and enjoy swimming in the secluded cove.

Cap de Formentor – The Ultimate Sunset Spot

At the northern tip of Majorca, Cap de Formentor offers unmatched sunset views. The scenic drive to this dramatic peninsula is filled with panoramic vistas, pine forests, and rocky cliffs. Once at the lighthouse, visitors are rewarded with incredible views over the Mediterranean Sea, making it a perfect spot for photography and a memorable end to any day on the island.

Best Time to Visit Majorca and Travel Tips

The best time to visit Majorca largely depends on your travel preferences, whether you’re seeking beach days, outdoor adventures, or cultural experiences:

Spring (March to May)

Ideal for hiking, cycling, and sightseeing, with mild temperatures (15-20°C) and fewer crowds. The island blooms with wildflowers, making it perfect for nature lovers.

Summer (June to August)

The peak season for beachgoers and nightlife enthusiasts, with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C. Expect busy beaches, vibrant festivals, and ideal conditions for water sports.

Autumn (September to October)

A fantastic time for outdoor activities, with warm seas and milder weather (20-25°C). The crowds thin out, and you can often find better deals on accommodation.

Winter (November to February)

The off-season offers a quieter experience, perfect for exploring historic sites and enjoying local culture. While swimming might not be ideal, hiking and cycling are still enjoyable.

Travel Tips for Visiting Majorca

Book Early in Summer: Accommodation and flights fill up quickly, especially in July and August, so it’s best to plan ahead.

Rent a Car: To explore hidden gems like Sa Calobra and Cap de Formentor, a car offers the freedom to discover remote beaches and charming villages.

Dress Comfortably: During spring and autumn, layers are recommended as temperatures can vary. In summer, bring light clothing, swimwear, and sunscreen.

Stay Hydrated: The Mediterranean heat can be intense, so carry water and take breaks in the shade.

Respect Local Culture: Majorca’s villages and historical sites appreciate polite behaviour and respectful attire, particularly in churches and traditional areas.

Embrace Siesta Time: Many shops and restaurants close in the early afternoon, so plan meals and shopping accordingly.

Explore Beyond the Beaches: Majorca offers rich culture, beautiful mountains, and historical sites, so venture inland to experience the island’s full charm.

From historic Palma to secluded coves and stunning beaches, Majorca offers something for everyone. Whether you’re exploring hidden gems, relaxing on golden sands, or chasing sunsets at Cap de Formentor, Click&Go Holidays has you covered.

Season 3 – Episode 11

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Click&Go Travel Podcast! This week, Paul and Gill are diving into a fascinating topic that might just change the way you plan your holidays: “Why do some people prefer to travel off peak?” We’ll share our insights and uncover the myriad benefits of opting for an off-peak getaway.

Earlier this month, we conducted a survey among our customers and discovered some interesting trends. Surprisingly, 56% of those surveyed have yet to book their 2024 holiday. Among the respondents who still plan to travel, over half intend to do so in September or October.

Top Reasons for Choosing Off-Peak Travel

• More hotel availability and room options
• Milder weather
• More relaxing
• Seasonal routes tend to end at the end of October – amazing deals
• Lower Costs
• Fewer Crowds – less queues
• Feel like a local – less crowds

Top Destinations for travelling Off Peak.
