Golf Holidays in Majorca
Majorca (Mallorca) is one of Spain's Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, found just off Spain’s east coast, may be the best-kept secret in European golf, for such a small place, they are bursting with championship golf courses.
Blessed with year-round sunshine, incredible coastal views, and a buzzing nightlife, Majorca forms a paradise for golfers and have seen a boom in popularity in recent years.
The delightful capital city, Palma, is the biggest tourist hot spot on any of the islands, whilst the towns of Magaluf and Santa Ponsa offer a more lively nightlife and are ideal for groups, with Ibiza being one of the most famous party destinations in the world. In terms of accommodation, you are spoiled for choice, with numerous first-class hotels and resorts found on each of the islands.
