Majorca

If you want to enjoy a sun-drenched autumnal escape, why not come with us to beautiful Majorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands and a jewel of the Mediterranean. This stunning island has dramatic mountains, picturesque coastlines, charming historic towns and is blessed with an all-year pleasant climate.  

We are to be in the popular coastal town of Santa Ponsa, which is located in the south west of the island. The town is set in a sheltered cove with a vast sandy beach that is lined with pine trees. The crystal-clear waters might entice you to go swimming but, for the more adventurous, there are lots of water-related activities available, including paddleboarding and kayaking. If you want to explore the spectacular coastline you can take an invigorating boat trip and possibly visit the Sa Dragonera National Park Island, a protected nature reserve with fascinating wildlife. For a more relaxed experience, you can stroll along the beautiful waterfront promenade and then wander along the coastal path to the neighbouring town of Costa del la Calma, which is apparently the best place to watch the magnificent sunsets. Santa Ponsa also boasts three golf courses, a tree top adventure park and has a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants.

There are good public transport links, so you might want to visit the capital of Palma, which is 18 km away, and see the magnificent 14^th century Gothic cathedral, amble along the cobbled streets and view the beautiful harbour from the hilltop castle. There are so many options for interesting day trips from Santa Ponsa and the leaders will discuss potential excursions with the group. Any tours, and entry to places of interest, will be additional to the cost of the holiday.

We will be staying in the four-star Reverence Life Hotel which has comfortable and modern accommodation and is located a short walk from the beach. The hotel consists of four different buildings with each bedroom having a walk-in shower. The hotel has a fitness centre and eight pools, including a roof top one with spectacular views of the bay.

Vacation notes:

• Accommodation is in a centrally located modern hotel with dinner, bed and breakfast. The hotel is situated on a slight hill which might not be suitable for people with mobility issues.
• This is a moderate activity level holiday involving a lot of on-foot sightseeing.
• Travel will be from Glasgow airport
• The Son Sant Joan International airport in Majorca has a significant walk between the check-in desks and the departure gates
