Mallorca

Mallorca offers city breaks, beach resorts and quieter coastal towns, with accessibility varying significantly by destination.

Terrain and getting around

Palma, Palma Nova and parts of Alcúdia can provide useful level routes, while hillside resorts and historic areas may include cobbles, steep streets or steps.

Accessibility is personal: distance, gradient, surface, heat and crowding affect travellers differently. Trace the complete route from the accommodation to the places that matter, including the return journey.

Choosing where to stay

Select the resort before comparing hotels. Palma suits culture and transport; Palma Nova offers a compact beach resort; Alcúdia combines a long bay with widely spread accommodation.

Ask for the narrowest doorway, lift dimensions, bathroom transfer space, bed height and a step-free route to every hotel facility that will be used. Obtain important commitments in writing.

Airport transfers and local transport

Nearest airport: Palma de Mallorca Airport. Island transfers vary considerably in duration. Confirm the correct vehicle, restraint system and luggage capacity before travelling.

Tell the transfer company whether the traveller can move into a vehicle seat or must remain in the wheelchair. Provide chair or scooter dimensions, combined weight, companion numbers and luggage details.

Mobility equipment hire

Mobility Abroad no longer accepts bookings or payments. We provide independent preparation information and links to selected providers so travellers can arrange equipment directly.

Confirm model, safe user weight, dimensions, charging, delivery, collection, damage cover and breakdown support. Match the equipment to the local terrain and the accommodation rather than selecting by price alone.

Practical local advice

Equipment support is location-dependent, so verify delivery charges, breakdown coverage and collection times for the chosen resort.

Before booking Mallorca

• Check the exact hotel street and surrounding gradients.
• Request room, bathroom and lift measurements.
• Arrange airline assistance and an appropriate airport transfer.
• Confirm equipment delivery and emergency support in writing.
• Recheck important arrangements shortly before departure.
