Spain's Balearic Islands are some of the most popular places for villa holidays , with visitors drawn to the archipelago by the promise of incredible weather, glorious beaches, great restaurants and high-end accommodation.

Villa rentals on the island of Mallorca, the largest in the Balearic set, are among the most luxuriously appointed and with so many to choose from, you are sure to find the right property among the villas in Mallorca available.

Mallorca is an island full of contrasts - from the bustling capital city of Palma, to the small and quaint fishing villages and traditional communities which can be found along its shores and in its mountains. Renowned for its natural beauty, the island is also a haven for wildlife and many visitors may be lucky enough to catch sight of rare birds or plants.

The capital city is ideal for culture vultures on villa holidays as it is home to an imposing Gothic-style cathedral, famous for its bells, as well as many museums and galleries.

The hilltop community of Deia is a must-visit for those seeking rest and relaxation on their holiday to villas in Mallorca. This arty community has long attracted famous faces from the worlds of art and culture, no doubt enticed by its rural location and stunning surrounding countryside.

Fun-seeking holidaymakers taking advantage of villa rentals on Mallorca may want to head to Magaluf, which is the central party hotspot of the island. Here you will find a wide range of nightclubs and trendy bars, full of the young and beautiful of Spain, as well as many Brits drawn in by the flashing lights and great music.

This area is also home to Aqualand, a great waterpark which is well worth a visit on a holiday to a villa on Mallorca.

Those on villa holidays with their family or young children may instead choose to hire a luxurious appointed villa in the resort of Alcudia, a quieter spot ideally suited to those travelling with children or those looking for a destination ideal for a romantic break away from home.
