Maiorca
Where to stayMallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and requires a strategic choice of base, as the island is vast and diverse. For 2026, accommodation trends center on three main profiles:
- Palma de Mallorca (The Capital): Ideal for short stays, culture lovers, foodies, and shoppers. It offers the best public transport connections and nightlife.
- Serra de Tramuntana (West): A luxury nature retreat. This mountainous region features charming villages like Deià and Valldemossa. Perfect for couples and those seeking exclusivity and hiking trails.
- East and South Coast (Calas): The beach paradise. Regions like Santanyí or Cala d'Or are ideal for families seeking crystal-clear waters and tranquility.
2026 Regulations: Balearic authorities maintain strict licensing policies for short-term rentals. When booking an Airbnb, ensure that the property displays its tourist license number (*ETV*), which is mandatory by law to avoid cancellations or fines.
