As well as conventional package holidays in a hotel have you considered perhaps renting a villa?

Often people consider that cheap holidays in Mallorca aren't possible when taking a villa, but surprisingly given that a lot of them come with their own private pool and garden area this isn't necessarily the case.

Mallorca holidays in a villa are available island-wide, and it's worth checking out a few of the companies who offer them.

If you are flexible for when you can travel some of them have some good late deals, and like normal package trips at the same time a car can be hired and flights booked, but these can also be done independently.

But what about if you don't want to hire a car, and the good thing about staying in a hotel is that you can choose one that's within walking distance of bars and restaurants and other facilities?

Look out for the Mallorca holiday ones that have a symbol next to them saying car not essential as there certainly are villas that are located within walking distance of the beach and / or local amenities and at the same time as booking your holidays in Mallorca you can organise transport to and from the airport, sometimes on a coach but another option often offered is a taxi, and on the return journey home they should pick you up to get you to Palma Airport in plenty of time to catch your flight home.
