35 Unique Things to Do in Mallorca Away from the Resorts heartmybackpack.com

I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about booking a holiday to Mallorca (or Majorca if you’re English). In fact, the first time I visited Mallorca the only reason I agreed to go was that my boyfriend at the time really wanted a beach holiday but was only able to get time off in May, and most of the other beach destinations in Europe would have still been too cold for swimming. Plus his mom’s partner used to live on Mallorca and promised us that there’s more to the island than big resorts.

I had only ever heard of Mallorca as a resort destination, and while resorts can be wonderful, I also always want to make sure I see more than a hotel on my vacation. I mean, if I was going to go to Spain, I wanted to feel like I was in Spain, you know?

But it turned out Tim was right about his old home, and by the end of my two weeks on the island, I realized that I might just be turning into one of those Norwegians who wants to holiday in Mallorca every year.
