Where to stay in majorca in february ??

Question

We are both in late twenties and off to Majorca, where should we go to??

We don't want 18-30 sort of thing/the hotel to be too noisy, and we like going to the beach, nice food and a quietish drink, we aren't bothered about getting really drunk and being wild. Won't have a car so want to be near beach, bars and shops.

Where is good in Majorca?? In February.

Thanks

Answer 1

Avoid Magaluf and Palma Nova (which won't be noisy at this time of year anyway).  Otherwise it is a very civilised island.  We stayed there in February last year and found Palma, the capital, to be perfect.  It's a short taxi transfer from the airport, has plenty of interesting places to see, is right on the coast, has a busy harbour, has plenty of shopping, has plenty of places to eat and has good transport links if you want to explore Majorca.

February is not good beach weather but there are beaches in walking distance of Palma and better ones a short bus/taxi ride away.

I'd recommend a trip on the old Edwardian narrow-gauge railway and then tram to the port of Soller, beyond the Tramuntana mountains.  Hotels can arrange for you to join a guided tour which is well worth it.  Warning:  It may be warm in Palma (you'll still need a jacket much of the time) but it is chilly in the mountains at that time of year.

It's a great place.  Have fun.

Hi, Me and my family went my my majorca october just gone and we stayed in SA COMA and thought it was brilliant but i would not like to say what it might be like in february as i do not know. But we loved every minute of it.

Answer 3

I love Porto Colom in the south east of the Island, it has some lovely beaches, great walks along the sea front including over cliffs, proper local bars where the residents hang out and it does have shops but not all the touristy ones which will probably be shut in Feb anyway.

If you are looking to chill out it is a great place!

Answer 4

Try Can Pastilla.

Its 5 minutes in a taxi from the airport (costs 15e approx) and is a nice quiet resort.  I would just go for a few days rather than a week, but its worth a visit.  

Stay at the Hotel Leo, half board.  You are right on the beach doorstep, near bars and shops.

Answer 5

alcudia or puerto pollensa will be just fine

Answer 7

Most of Majorca is closed in February because it is cold, the season doesn't start till around April-October.
