All About Mallorca, Spain's Island Utopia …
Everything You'll Ever Need to Know About Mallorca
to Build Your Perfect Holiday
If you're here to find useful, practical information
about Mallorca, you're in the right place.
And if you'd like to be on our list to receive
an
occasional newsletter with practical
useful information about the island,
please leave your email address.
We guarantee no spam ever.
A view you might see on a Mallorca coastal walk.
What you'll find here:
- Lots and lots of information, general and specific, to allow you to plan a satisfying visit.
- Personal recommendations, which you can accept or leave alone. I include my own hotels and son Ben's restaurant – of course! – but I'll give you the unvarnished skinny about them in case they aren't what you're looking for.
- Here, too, are my opinions about the island, likes and dislikes, and lots of information that goes beyond just the nuts and bolts of putting together a holiday.
What's different about this site from other
Mallorca sites?
First, I don't charge anyone to be included, so if I mention a service, a hotel, a restaurant or a car hire company, it's because I think (or you think, since I use your feedback) they're worth including.
This is not like some Mallorca "information" sites that only list people who pay them a fee. Yes, you may see a few commercial links, but only to services we think would be useful for you
Second, I try to include only information you might find useful. If you visit some of the government tourist sites, for example, I defy you to find anything useful about the Balearic Islands, much less Mallorca, (though they can recommend "cheap motels" in Chicken Prairie, Iowa).
Third, this site is new, and will get better as you give us feedback on your experiences of Mallorca. A thousand people staying here, eating out here, giving us your opinions, will increase the value of this site immeasurably. So as you read what I put here, if you have a contribution to make, please take a moment to fill out the feedback forms and help me make this site better for the next people coming along.

Flying to Mallorca Cheaply
Information about flights to Mallorca, especially cheap flights to Mallorca, or no-frills airlines that fly to Palma de Mallorca.
Car Hire, the Best I Know
Cheap car hire is widely advertised, promising low cost Mallorca car rental in newspaper ads or cheap Mallorca car hire on the Net, but we’ve used all the major companies and several of the minor ones over the years and we now are recommending the best people we’ve ever worked with.
Ten Things to Do on Mallorca
From exploring Palma on foot to taking leisurely walks in the mountains, cycling, getting to know the local Mallorca restaurants and cuisine, enjoying Mallorca’s glorious scenery from your hire car, or visiting museums or galleries, there are things for everyone – sea or mountain or wine country related, and I’ve got a number of specific recommendations for you.
Mallorca's History
No opinions here – just facts, from the Greeks and Phoenicians to the Romans and the Pirates, and all the conquerors in between. And now us tourists!
The Scott's Mini-Guide to Mallorca
Specific information about things you might like to do when you visit Mallorca – sailing, scuba diving, exploring the caves, our twenty golf courses, walking, riding, cycling, ballooning, or attending specific fiestas or holidays like the island's famous Easter celebrations.
Opinions From George's Mystery Novels
I did say I'd give you opinions, and many of them are expressed in the mystery novels I write, set in Scott's Townhouse Hotel. Lots of people say they've learned a lot about the island from my sometimes unconventional, sometimes maverick views.
Food and Eating Out on Mallorca
If you're visiting the island, or indeed anywhere in Spain, there's a useful small menu translator you can print out. Otherwise, this is page of information about the local cuisine and some recommended restaurants, a list to which we hope you'll add.
