Palma
Palma is an incredibly popular tourist destination located in Majorca, in the Balearic Islands in Spain. Lying on the Mediterranean Sea, the city experiences fabulous temperatures almost all year round. The main reason tourists choose to visit Palma is for the beaches (of which there are many) however there are a number of other attractions that can also be enjoyed.
The best known beaches in Palma are Magaluff and Arenal. These, however, can be incredibly overcrowded, especially during the summer months. On the plus side, they have discos and bars that are open all day long. If you fancy something a bit quieter, Cala Blava is another great beach, which is located around 25 kilometres outside of Palma. Outside of the city itself, the beaches are less crowded so much more relaxing.
If you don’t mind travelling a bit further afield, you could go to Port Alcudia or Port Pollence, which are on the other side of the island. Here, you will find nice beaches but also a lot of night clubs and bars that you can enjoy. For peace and quiet, Port Andratx is absolutely fantastic and is located only around 30 kilometres outside of Palma. There are a few bars in Port Andratx, but it is not known for the vibrant, youthful nightlife. Sant Elm is also incredibly peaceful.
If you opt for car hire Palma you will have a variety of other options available to you. Consider, for example, Cala Figuara, Cala Millor, Cala Murada, Cala Ratjada and Cala Mallorca – all are great beaches but are located away from public transport routes.
