An excellent example of the good quality cheap hotels in Majorca is Hotasa Samoa Hotel, winner of an accolade at the recent Hotels4u.com and Medhotels.com awards ceremony.

Perfectly situated, surrounded by picturesque beaches and inviting crystal clear waters, Hotasa Samoa Hotel can be found in Calas De Mallorca on the east coast of the island. Families in particular will enjoy the variety of activities on offer at the hotel, including a swimming pool, tennis court, mini-golf course, pool tables, games and TV room, onsite restaurants, pool bar, lounge bar, shops, exchange bureau, kids’ clubs, play area and bike rental. Meanwhile, there is even more to do in the nearby town centre, and the beach itself is just 200 metres away.

The hotel is just one of many cheap hotels in Majorca that are perfect for families. Majorca hotels come in all shapes and sizes so it’s not just families that will find the ideal base for their next holiday. The island is just as practiced at being a romantic holiday spot, with its many picturesque landscapes providing an atmospheric backdrop. Party goers can find plenty to amuse as well, with Magalluf a particularly popular hot spot.

For many years, sun seeking Brits have been flocking to Majorca for a sunshine fix. During the peak season months of June to September, the beaches, bars and many cheap hotels in Majorca are filled with enthusiastic holidaymakers. The tourists who enjoy the island’s many offerings are not just limited to UK travellers either. The King and Queen of Spain themselves were among the visitors this summer when they stopped on the island for their regular Balearics holiday. There’s no doubt that the summer months can be exhilarating – particularly if you decide to get involved in the party scene in Magaluf – but it can also seems a bit too hectic at times. So for a quieter break in the sun a winter visit is the perfect solution.


Majorca’s ‘something for everybody’ appeal has had a lot to do with its success. From its beaches and holiday activities to culture and cuisine, the island welcomes all types of traveller. Families, couples, groups of friends, those on a budget, those with money, or those just looking for a change of scene can all find something in Majorca.

In one sense the island offers a tried and tested formula. You know where you stand with Majorca and know what you’re going to get when you arrive. This is particularly comforting for holidaymakers who find that their budgets are stretched and who may not want to take too much of a gamble with their cash right now, while the many cheap hotels in Majorca help to ease the burden even further. In another sense, though, there’s so much on offer in Majorca that you could go back again and again and have a completely different experience every time.

The island’s year-round temperatures are a distinct advantage. Average temperatures reach highs of 29°C in August and then remain over 20°C into October meaning autumn visitors can experience the island’s offerings in comfort as well as relative peace and quiet.

There is plenty to enjoy, from the tourist attractions of the capital, Palma de Majorca, to the many and varied stunning beaches.

Experiencing the island during the winter months away from the peak season crowds is certainly a good way to get to know the real Majorca. You’ll also be able to take advantage of out of season prices at one of the many Majorca hotels so keep an eye out for deals online to get the most out of your money on your Balearic Island holiday.
