Palma Nova Holidays

Set in the bay of Palma, this place is a popular spot when it comes to holidays to Majorca. It’s got three sandy beaches, each backed by a tree-lined promenade. The resort’s got scores of gift shops where you can pick up handmade leather, glitzy jewellery and Spanish keepsakes. There are also plenty of bars and restaurants, as well as a buzzy disco scene.

The trio of beaches in Palma Nova steals the show. They all have Blue Flag status, sugar-white sand and shallow water, with Playa Carregador and Playa Palma Nova particularly popular with families. The beach furthest to the west is Son Maties. Home to lots of chic bars, it’s a great place to watch all the beach action with a cocktail in hand.

Palma, Majorca’s capital city, is a 15-minute drive away. Here, you’ll find a mix of historical landmarks and modern architecture, plus plenty of shopping. Party town Magaluf’s also close – it’s a 10-minute drive from Palma Nova. As well as its massive menu of clubs and bars, Magaluf’s home to a number of theme parks and waterparks, like Aqualand.
