Mallorca

Mallorca is the largest island in the Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain and located in the Mediterranean. The capital of the island, Palma, is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands.

Mallorca has an area of over 3,6 thousand km² and the highest elevation is about 1,4 thousand km². The population is around 9 million people (2019).

Since the 1905s, Mallorca has become a significant tourist destination, and the tourism business become the main source of revenue for the island. Businessmen and investors in real estate are attracted by the large beaches, warm weather, and high-quality tourist amenities. Majorca attracts a lot of cyclists. Due to a high number of foreigners choosing to settle in the area, Mallorca has recently also become a business hub economy of its own, due to a high number of particularly foreign enterprises choosing to either relocate or expand, to the island.

The advantage Mallorca has is that it is only a two hours flight from most major European Capitals (London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Zurich), four hours flight from Scandinavian and is a five hours Ferry ride from Denia and five hours on the fast ferry from Barcelona both on the coast of mainland Spain.

Mallorca has a modern infrastructure: including an excellent public transport network, extensive mobile, and fixed telephone network; running water and electricity in all towns and villages; high-speed internet access; and excellent travel connections to the rest of Europe and mainland Spain, by air and by sea.
