Palmanova

Palmanova is Mallorca's pioneering holiday development and today one of the most established family destinations in Calvià. With calm beaches, a seafront promenade and a settled residential area, it combines the holiday atmosphere with life all year round.

Palmanova unfolds around several coves and sandy beaches with calm water, much appreciated by families, with a promenade that joins it practically to Magaluf. It has a sailing club and a full range of shops, restaurants and services. Nearby areas such as Son Caliu bring a more residential, restful character. It is a destination with a family atmosphere, less busy than its neighbour Magaluf.

Flats and terraced houses near the beach predominate, alongside houses and villas in the residential areas. It is an area of strong holiday and second-home demand, with an international presence, and prices generally more affordable than the luxury enclaves of the south-west. It combines established housing with some new build and refurbishment.

It suits families and those looking for a second home beside calm beaches, with services and a good connection to Palma. Worth weighing up: its closeness to Magaluf and the contrast in atmosphere between the two, and the heavier footfall in high season.
