Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and has been at the top of the holiday destination list for almost sixty years. The capital, Palma de Mallorca, is the centre of tourism, but there are more quiet areas full of olive groves and greenery towards the northwest coast.

With almost half of the population of Mallorca living in Palma, it is there that you will find most of the gay venues. Like many tourist centres, there is a tendency for most of these venues to cater to gay men. Dark is the newest club, providing cabins, glory holes, a maze, a dark room and beds; basically, everything a gay about town needs to get some action. The other clubs generally follow suit. Aries is a music bar with a dark room for gay men, as is Yuppi Club and Sa Bota. The only popular club that attracts both gays and lesbians is Bruixieres, a music bar that offers pool as well. Older gay men tend to head to Status, for much the same as the younger crowd attend Aries. There are also a number of gay saunas, including Aries for the younger and Spartacus for the older patrons. Predicatably there are several gay beaches, the most popular being the middle section of Es Trench, which is also listed as one of the most perfect beaches in the world.

Gays and lesbians are warmly welcomed in Mellorca, as all tourists are.

You can fly to Mallorca from most European destinations. Once on the island, there are bus services, as well as water bus services and trains, to travel out to the various locations.
