Majorca Island Tourism (Mallorca), a History. Travel Information. There's far more to this gorgeous island than its stretching sandy beaches and year round sunshine. The infamous package holiday resorts are confined to a small area whilst the rest of Mallorca remains remarkably diverse and untouched. This is the 'other' Mallorca, a place of breathtaking landscapes and culture ready to be explored and enjoyed. Mallorca offers something for everyone and can be enjoyed on foot, bike, by car or by boat. Head for the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountain range for hiking, cycling or just plain relaxing. Those wanting a mellow pace of life will find the sleepy ancient towns and rural fincas of inland Mallorca the perfect antidote to hectic living. For relaxed beach bathing and shoreline activities such as snorkelling, windsurfing or even kite surfing, look South and East for untouristy beaches. Those in need of a city fix can enjoy the bustling life of the cultural capital Palma
