Migjorn is the southern region of Mallorca. It has a string of resorts along its coast and more traditional towns inland.

The west of this region includes S'Arenal, but that's effectively part of the Palma resort strip and isn't described here.

Migjorn means "midday" in Catalan, so it's equivalent to the Midi region of southern France or il Mezzogiorno of southern Italy. Its coast is well-developed for tourism especially where the beaches are sandy. Inland is mostly a level plain, with occasional abrupt hills but not as high as the mountains along the northwest coast. This plain supports traditional small-scale farming, including vineyards. The inland towns don't have much visitor accommodation but several finca farmsteads offer agrotourism stays. The towns are the governing municipalities for the beach resorts, which have far outgrown them.

This region has suffered from unregulated or illegal development, with concrete carbuncles sprouting like undergrowth. The island elders realise there's better and more sustainable income to be gained from nature conservation, so they huff and puff against these developments and occasionally succeed in blowing them down.

Inland locals speak Mallorquí, a dialect of Catalan, but understand Castilian the standard version of Spanish that visitors learn. In the resorts, anyone in the service sector is likely to speak Castilian, English and German.
