Book a Mallorca holiday and witness the island's dramatic changes

Those booking Mallorca villa holidays will discover that the Spanish island is no longer just a haven for partygoers.

Wales on Sunday claims that Mallorca has undergone a dramatic change of image in recent years.

"This wild child of an island in the Balearics has grown into a sedate maiden aunt, symbolised by the elegant streets and squares of its capital Palma," the publication states.

Indeed, Palma offers "class, history and luxury in abundance" thanks to its ancient walls, its well-preserved old quarter, its art galleries and its diverse architecture.

Visitors can also explore Palma's glamorous side with a wander up the Passeig del Born, which is home to numerous designer shops, or dine in a waterfront restaurant overlooking the yacht harbour.

And because Palma is relatively compact, holiday makers can explore the city on foot, taking in all the major sights and attractions in one day.

Those renting Mallorca villas in Alcudia will be just an hour's drive away from Palma, although they can also immerse themselves in Mallorca's rich history within the resort itself.

The medieval walled city of Alcudia is a historical gem featuring narrow winding streets, while the remains of a Roman amphitheatre can be found just south of the town.
