Situated on the south coast of Majorca, Palma, otherwise known as Palma de Majorca, is the island’s lively capital, with half of the population residing in the city. Originally settled by the Romans, this western Mediterranean city expanded under Moorish occupation for three hundred years up until the 13th century before being reconquered by James I of Aragon - one of Spain’s most famous kings. Palma offers the perfect blend of culture, sandy beaches, clear seas and a vibrant nightlife – not to mention a historic and beautiful setting!
The capital boasts some lovely sandy beaches, so you’re never far from the warm Mediterranean. Renting a property in Palma’s historic centre gives you easy access to the city's main attractions; trendy restaurants, intimate cafés and an enormous harbour stretching from the front of the cathedral, bordering to the west. Cathedral La Seu is a striking 14th Century piece of historic architecture and must-see for culture vultures. Not to be missed is Bellver Castle and fortress with its fairytale-like structure. Surrounded by pine woods it is now a museum open to the public.
Palma's cyclist and pedestrian-friendly promenade is ideal for afternoon and evening strolls. Follow the cycle path and discover the city's man-made, urban beach, Can Pere Antoni, just a 15 minute walk from the cathedral. Explore the region's hotspots and hop-off attractions through an open top bus tour. Young families might appreciate a trip to Palma Aquarium, a marine park with thousands of sea creatures and over 700 species. For peace and quiet, rent a property with a private pool outside the centre for a perfect base to explore the sights.
