A quick city break: Stay in ‘Old Palma’, which is an easy bus or taxi ride from the airport. Hotel Puro and Hotel Tres are two stylish and contemporary hotels in the heart of the action, or for a romantic hideaway consider the 16th-century Palacio Ca Sa Galesa or Convento de la Missió, originally a monastery.
Families: Team up with friends or relatives to get a large property with a private pool, but don’t leave it too late – the best villas go fast.
Walkers:Summers can be very hot, so spring and autumn are the best times to go. Walk! Mallorca North & Mountains (Discovery Walking Guides £12.99) describes self-guided walks through scenic parts of the island.
Golfers: The island has more than a dozen courses to suit all levels, including Santa Ponsa, where the Balearic Open Championships are held, and Son Vida which has fine views over the Badia de Palma.
