Sun, sea and varied scenery make this island an incredibly enjoyable destination to drive around.

The airport is located just outside Palma de Mallorca – the city’s full title. Take the Ma-19 in your business or holiday car rental, this is one of three major roads on the island. In just 20 minutes you should reach the center of the island. As you approach the city along the coastline, make sure you wind down the window and breathe in the fresh sea air.

Use the parking lot on Carrer Muelle if you’re planning on visiting Palau de l’Almudaina and Catedral de Mallorca – the city’s palace and cathedral. Platja de Can Pere Antoni, one of the city’s best beaches, can be accessed from Carrer Joan Maragall.

If the island’s capital isn’t your final destination, you’ll find that resorts and towns around Mallorca are easily accessible in your Palma Airport car rental via the network of major roads. Join the Ma-20 from the airport and take the highway for 20 minutes to Cala Major, one of the island’s original tourist destinations. The Ma-20 and the Ma-1 also lead to the serene Costa de la Calma, which is just under half an hour away.

Although you’ll want to take your time exploring, it’s possible to drive around the whole island in a day. From the capital it’s just 45 minutes via the Ma-13 across the island to the medieval town of Alcudia. Meanwhile, use the Ma-15 to reach Cala Millor where there’s more than a mile of Blue Flag-awarded beaches, perfect for soaking up the sun.

The most scenic route in Mallorca is along the coastline and through the green-tinged hills from Andratx to Soller. The 30 miles along the Ma-10 boasts incredible views of the Tramuntana mountains, interspersed with pretty whitewashed villages.

Driving in Mallorca is much like driving on mainland Spain – you’ll stay on the right-hand side of the road and all passengers must wear seatbelts. On highways, the speed limit is 120km/h (74 mph), while on single-lane roads this drops down to 90km/h (55mph) and 50km/h (31mph) in urban areas.

The sun beats down on the myriad landscapes as the azure sea glistens in the distance – welcome to Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands and one of the most striking. With a car rental from Palma Airport, you can discover the hidden gems of its capital city, as well as exploring its mix of both lively and laid-back resorts along the coastline.

Admire the architecture in Palma

To many, Palma is the gateway to Mallorca’s most popular beach resorts. But, before you rush out of the city, take some time to stroll along the cobbled streets to discover some of its delights.

Park up your holiday car rental and wander along the Passeig d’es Born Boulevard. Spend time passing beneath the lime trees as you make your way towards the impressive Catedral de Mallorca. This Gothic cathedral dominates the city’s skyline and is must-see for any visitor.

Although built between the 14^th and 17^th centuries, creating a unique blend of architectural styles, you’ll find that Antoni Gaudí also lent his lavish touch to the interior.

Nearby Palau de l’Almudaina should also be on your to-do list. This royal residence once served as an Islamic Fort, having stood in the city since the 10^th century. Admire the fairy tale façade before heading inside to take in the colorful tapestries and antique furniture.

Enjoy a taste of local life

Art lovers should head to Es Baluard, a contemporary art museum housed inside a 16^th-century fortress that once formed part of the town’s walls. Works from the likes of Picasso and Miro line the three-floor gallery, making it the perfect place to while away an afternoon.

More art can be enjoyed at Palau March Museu. Spanish heavyweights all have pieces on display here, including Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí, alongside sculptures from French artist Rodin.

Palma comes to life after dark. After a day of sightseeing, experience its energy at the atmospheric tapas and entertainment spots down the medieval streets. Nibble on slices of tortilla, sample grilled octopus and graze on a platter of sobrassada, the island’s famous cured meat.

Mercat de Santa Catalina is also worth a stop, a bustling food market where stall holders sell everything from freshly baked bread to flavorsome local ham.

Beach life in Mallorca

Paradise can be found in Mallorca. The island is blessed with more than 30 miles of golden sand lapped by the emerald waters of the Mediterranean.

Head out of the city in the direction of Playa de Alcudia, the longest and largest beach on the island. This Blue Flag-rated stretch, known as the golden mile, boasts soft white sand stretching from Port d’Alcudia.

Here you can relax with a good book as palm trees sway in the breeze and waves tumble against the shore. Take a break to cool off in the glittering water or enjoy a leisurely lunch in one of the many beach cafes. Adventurous types can also try their hand at diving or take a boat trip out to discover more of the coastline.

Collect your rental car from Palma Airport and enjoy the freedom to explore the best of Mallorca at your own pace.
