    Try https://www.ownersdirect.co.uk and https://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk

    I have used both these services and always came up trumps.

    If you like a quiet place and good for kids, we found port soller really good.

    Good Luck!!

    I've stayed at Alcudia, which was has a lovely beach, but it was too big and touristy for me! The old town was very nice though and more traditional.

    Callas de Mallorca - man made resort built for tourists. Mainly comprises of high rise blocks and the usual holiday tat shops. Small beach that gets crowded. I didn't like it here.

    Cala D'Or - loved it here! It's a mixture of low rise hotels and residential accomodation, so more traditional that other resorts. There are plenty shops, bars and restaurants that cater for all tastes in the centre, and no rowdy nightclubs/discos. The beaches are all coves within easy walking distance. The marina is fabulous with some really expensive looking yachts in. Nice to have a meal there and dream......... :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Illetes is nice too !! Not far from Porto Pi and Palma. Porto Pi is really nice for shopping just like Palma.

    Illetes has many restaurants and a very small beach area. Lovely walks to Porto portals where there is a very nice marina. Expensive though.

    Enjoy

  • Alcudia is most famous for it's mosquitos and many people get very badly bitten. Cala D'or is lovely but quiet. Perfect for young couples with small children but no good for teens.

    Have a lovely time. I have always stayed in hotels in Majorca and most seem to be a good standard.
