As families have reined back their spending over the last couple of years, quite often holidays have been a big ticket expense cut from the family budget. But with light at the end of the economic tunnel many of those families are itching to resume their week or two away in the summer - and leading holiday companies are falling over themselves to welcome them back with some great deals. One of the places that is benefitting from the low prices is Europe's favourite holiday island - Majorca.

In the UK companies are promoting some good deals for this year's peak summer market. A week in mid June for two people, including flights, can be found online for example at under 250 Sterling a person - and there are three options with alternative Majorca hotels from Thomas Cook for example.

But would booking a summer holiday be better closer to the time, would there for example be good cheap Majorca flight airfares available online? Possibly, but although the prices might have dropped a little on already good bargains, the choice of which of the Majorca hotels is available might be more limited. If you can take leave from work or are retired it might be worth hanging on, but if you have pretty much fixed dates the prices are pretty good already and there's currently a good choice of which of the Majorca hotels and resorts to choose from.

An alternative is villa holidays - and again there are some really good deals to be had. The advantage of villa holidays is that you often get to have a private swimming pool and garden area, and most when looking at a Majorca map are within easy reach of the nearest town's amenities, some within walking distance.

At the moment there are deals available where villa holidays in Majorca work out at less than 500 Sterling a person, including flights. So grabbing a bargain doesn't have to mean settling for inferior accommodation - the villas are fully furnished, include satellite TV and dishwashers in most cases, as well of course of having the advantage of privacy and own pool.

For those who haven't visited the island before and are considering having their holidays in Majorca for the first time, they might be interested to know that the island's tourism history started way back in the 1920's. Most visitors stay in only a small part of what is potentially available - there's plenty of countryside to explore for those who don't just want fabulous beaches and good tourist orientated towns and villages.

With the deals being offered at the moment for holidays in Majorca this summer, it could be a good time to visit the island in the sun.
