If you’re looking for a Spanish home close to a fantastic beach, then you should consider Mallorca, after a beach on the Balearic Island was voted Best Beach in Spain in the 2012 Traveller’s Choice Awards, compiled by leading travel review site TripAdvisor.

 

While, Mallorca’s Puerto Alcudia took the crown for best beach in Spain, the island also scooped third place for best beach in Europe, coming just behind two beaches in Turkey. This news comes as no surprise to sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey España, Marc Pritchard, who has been living and working on the beautiful Balearic Island for over 20 years.

“Mallorca has again demonstrated that it has some of the best beaches in Europe and in my opinion, the world,” said Pritchard. “My very first memories of Mallorca are on a wonderful family holiday I had with my parents back in 1974 – this is where my love affair with Mallorca started. I have lived on the island for many years and I must admit the picture perfect beaches and wonderfully relaxed lifestyle were the two key ingredients in choosing Mallorca as my home.”

Voted Spain’s best beach, Mallorca’s Puerto Alcudia stretches along five miles of gentle waters making it one of the longest beaches on the island. Described by TripAdvisor as a beach with “velvety white sands”, visitors and residents alike can pick from a quiet stroll around the quaint beach-side fishing village or swimming in the electric-blue sea, to windsurfing and paragliding for the more adventurous.
