Answer
Is Mallorca good for a beach holiday or do you need a car to enjoy it?
Mallorca works well as a beach destination, and many visitors stay close to the coast without needing to drive every day. A car can be useful if you want to reach quieter coves, inland villages, or more remote parts of the island. For a stay focused on one area, public transport and taxis may be enough.
