Holidays in Palma

An introduction to Palma

In Majorca's lively capital city, holidays in Palma are as diverse as they are fun. Whether you're seven or seventy and on your holidays to Palma with your family, friends or that special someone for a romantic break, being based in Palma leaves the whole of the island at your disposal.

On the southern coast of the island, Palma's broad bay, bobbing yachts and bustling streets are surveyed by the stunning Gothic cathedral which dominates the skyline. A maze of narrow alleys and secret squares radiate from the cathedral and hold a trove of delights. Little boutiques and traditional tapas bars, trendy late night clubs and snack shacks – Palma's old town is a hive of choices.

At the other end of the bay from the old town you'll spy an impressive round castle atop a hill of green. The 14th century castle of Bellver, once a private residence for summering royals, is now home to a museum and often hosts concerts – from rock to opera. Travel to Palma at the right time and you'll be in for a memorable treat.

Talking of treats…splash out with a stay at the opulent Grupotel Valparaiso Palace, on the peaceful outskirts of the town, and indulge in a day at the hotel's very own spa.

Palma's an enchanting city with a huge choice of beaches close by. Try bustling Magaluf – with its non-stop partying, aqua park and casino. Or escape to the north of the island and find a quiet cove. With all Palma and the island have to offer – you'll soon be back for more.

Palma is much bigger than I thought. It is beautiful in January - weather mild, tourist sites such as the Cathedral empty, as is the marvellous coastal walkway. Tapas bars looking for business so are friendly. Stayed at the 5 star Nixe Palace Hotel... more on this review
