Mallorca Explorer, Self Drive
Overview
This package offers maximum flexibility to explore at your own pace and see what you want when you want. Distinct from typical self-drive holidays where you spend nights in multiple hotels and cities, our package has you staying in one hotel for the entire duration, so that you can unpack only once and use your car rental to explore the island throughout your stay.
Mallorca (also spelled Majorca), the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is an excellent self-drive holiday destination. It offers a vibrant mix of coastal roads, scenic mountain drives, charming inland villages and beach towns — all within relatively short distances of each other. The roads are generally well-maintained, and driving gives you the flexibility to explore off-the-beaten-track spots at your own pace.
