When you think of the Mediterranean island of Majorca, what springs to mind? Crystal-clear water, white sand, endless family activities and glorious sunshine? Majorca is renowned for all of these but during the off-peak months is when you can fully appreciate Majorca’s utter charm: when the beaches are less crowded, the weather is still glorious but more bearable and there is less hustle and bustle in the main towns and cities. By booking your Gran Isla Hotel in September you are treating yourself to exclusive benefits. Discover them all here…

Get an insight into the local lifestyle. With tourists steadily making their way home, locals immerge to begin celebrating their traditional festivals. One in particular is Rei en Jaume, which honours James I of Aragon and takes place in Santa Ponsa from 31st August. Most of Majorca’s most important festivities have religious ties but with modern spins. For example, in this festival you will see traditional dancing, visit medieval markets, stare wide-eyed at the parade of giants and hesitantly join in the Correfoc, where a select few members of the community dress up as devils and chase the crowd with huge sparklers, whilst, at the same time, inviting them to dance underneath the fire. On the other hand, there are lots of fiestas, fireworks, DJ sets, concerts and much more to keep you thoroughly entertained over the next few days.

Discover Majorca’s gorgeous beach coves, hidden away from the masses.

Discover Majorca’s true essence. Yes, Majorca is known for its extensive beaches but the real treasures are the small beach coves found away from the masses. These still get quite busy in summer but as September arrives, they become quieter and quieter to the point where there is no-one there and you can dive into the depths of the crystal-clear water and relax on the pure white sand, alone with just your family for company. Imagine the pure bliss you will experience…

In addition, towards the end of September, you will be able to hike the incredible Sierra Tramuntana Mountain Range. This UNESCO site hides hundreds of trails that will take you to some of the most breathtaking views imaginable: picture looking down onto a reserve hugged by mountainous landscape or admiring a gorgeous sunset as you enjoy a family picnic on a clifftop.
