Palma de Mallorca

Palma is a stunner. Rising in honey-coloured stone from the broad waters of the Badia de Palma, this enduring city dates back to the 13th-century Christian reconquest of the island, and to the Moors, Romans and Talayotic people before that. A richly studded diadem of historical sites, Palma also shelters a seemingly endless array of galleries, restaurants, craft studios and bars – it's without doubt Mallorca's greatest treasure. Wander in any direction from the awe-inspiring Gothic Catedral at its geographic and historical heart and you'll find bent medieval streets lined with aristocratic townhouses, looming baroque churches, teeming public squares, vibrant bohemian neighbourhoods and markets overflowing with all the bounty of the island. You could spend weeks in this city alone, and still uncover fresh joys every day.

Why you’ll love it

T his article contains links from which we may earn revenue. More information here .

A seductive blend of coast and mountain, village, vineyard and vibrant capital Palma , Mallorca combines summer idyll with a proudly distinctive culture. Head north and you’ll find long stretches of golden sand, while to the west, the Serra de Tramuntana mountains plunge down to sapphire seas and hidden coves. You can while away your days exploring the hill villages that have inspired poets and artists, discover the Roman ruins of Pollentia or head to buzzing, bijou Palma for an exciting restaurant scene, cobbled old town and cathedral with impressive Mediterranean views.

Mallorca has long been admired for its dazzling coastline, but its interior is also enjoying a moment in the sun, with boutique hotels set in country estates among olive and almond trees, farms inviting visitors to try local produce, and wineries offering tastings.

The summer calendar is liberally sprinkled with local “festes” (festivals), from the fires on the beach to celebrate Sant Joan in June to the Battle of the Moors and Christians in Pollensa in August. Mallorca may be a favourite holiday spot for tourists, but its customs and traditions live on.

The largest of the Balearic islands, Mallorca is also the most diverse. Avid cyclists come in spring to tackle the winding routes that climb the Serra de Tramuntana and Sierra de Llevant mountain ranges, while walkers can take their pick from scenic coastal routes and countryside trails, and sunseekers set their towels on the sands of pine-backed coves and sweeping bays.

Rent a car and enjoy scenic drives across the island, from the capital to the golden sands of the Bay of Alcudia, or from well-heeled Port de Sóller on the west coast to the Cap de Formentor lighthouse, perched among the dramatic peaks of the island’s northernmost tip.

Then there are the villages. Mountain retreat Valldemossa, where Chopin stayed at the Carthusian monastery in 1839, the smart, green-shuttered stone houses of Deià, where the poet Robert Graves’s home is now a museum, and pretty, golden-hued Pollensa with its Knights Templar church.

Where to stay

From rustic farmhouses to ultra-luxurious retreats, historic country estates to hotels with commanding sea views, you won’t be short of places to stay in Mallorca.

Palma is bursting with boutique hotels, converted palaces and mansions with rooftop pools, while around the Bay of Palma, looking back towards the city, is luxurious Cap Rocat, a 19th-century fortress where rooms and private infinity pools seem to have been hewn from the very rock.

To the north of the island, a mix of all-inclusive resorts and smart hotels fringe the bays of Pollensa and Alcudia, while the hinterland is wrapped in the scent of almond blossom and peppered with golden-hued farmhouses-turned-holiday villas , country estates and mountain monasteries that are now luxurious rural retreats.

To the west, the fishing village of Port de Sóller is set among the folds of the Tramuntana mountains and dominated by celebrity favourite Jumeirah Port Sóller Hotel , while along the coast, the ivy-draped Belmond La Residencia adds a touch of luxury to genteel Deià.

Food and drink

Cured sobrassada sausage made with Mallorcan porc negre (black pig), Port de Sóller red prawns . . . Mallorca’s cuisine is a veritable mix of mar y montaña — mountain and sea.

The island isn’t short of local ingredients, from cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil to sea salt hand-harvested from the salt flats in Es Trenc. Then there are the citrus fruit, almonds and apricots, the artisan cheeses and the supremely palatable red and white wines. Take a tour of Bodega Ribas, dating back 300 years and the oldest winery on the island, or visit beautiful Finca Biniagual, which has been making waves with its acclaimed wines.

Buy fresh ingredients at Palma’s Mercat de l’Olivar, or head to the trendy San Joan and 1930 markets to try tapas dishes and local wines. Fresh catch of the day is served up in fishing villages and at rustic chiringuito beach bars, while the island’s nine glittering Michelin stars are proof of an exciting culinary renaissance. Head to Maca de Castro in Port Alcudia for a modern twist on traditional Mallorcan cuisine, while Andreu Genestra also celebrates island produce at his self-named restaurant in the countryside, near Capdepera.

It may be tempting to dash straight to Mallorca’s beaches , but stick around in Palma for a while and discover a thriving city packed with trendy eateries and rooftop cocktail bars, galleries, boutiques and the impressive Es Baluard contemporary art museum set in a 16th-century fortress. Then head just outside the city and visit the Miró Mallorca Foundation, where Joan Miró’s old workshops are filled with his art.

For a journey with a difference, why not hop on the vintage train from Palma to Sóller? Wooden carriages rattle along a 100-year-old narrow-gauge railway, offering sensational views as it climbs through the mountains, across bridges and through tunnels to the picturesque mountain village.

With about 300 beaches to choose from, it will take a lot of trips to discover them all. But the gleaming waters and tiny strand of Cala Sa Calobra, wedged between two soaring cliffs on the north coast, make the drive along snaking roads well worth it. Cyclists love the route for its sheer beauty, or you can opt to take the boat from Port Sóller.

Know before you go

As with the rest of Spain , Mallorca uses the euro. Visit in the summer months and expect busy beaches and difficulty parking near certain coves and smaller coastal villages. But if you visit in spring or September and October, you can enjoy gloriously sunny days without the crowds. Mallorca is generally safe, but as a tourist keep an eye on your belongings as opportunist thefts do occur. The island has suffered from a party reputation in the past, but this is restricted to certain enclaves such as Magaluf and Playa de Palma, so is easily avoided — unless that’s your scene.

Inspired to visit Mallorca but yet to book your trip? Here are the best Tui holidays and British Airways breaks to the largest Balearic Island, as well as the best Mallorca tours from trusted operators. And if you’re still unsure of where you want to go or what type of holiday to book, get in touch with the Designer Travel experts here and one of the team will be in contact to help you arrange your perfect tailor-made break

Coutry of thousands of islands, rich natural heritage and cultural beauty

Croatia is a country of thousands of islands, rich natural heritage, and cultural beauty. It is a home of colourful cities and the endless blue of the sea, wine regions and eight magnificent national parks. The country offers something for every taste – wander through the streets of Zagreb, the urban capital, relax at one of the numerous beaches along the coast or follow the footsteps of ancient warriors in Split and Dubrovnik. Croatia is full of wonders and well-worth visiting.

Why visit Croatia?

Croatia is a true cultural arboretum – it has the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pula, in Split a Diocletian’s palace, a romantic Dubrovnik and a baroque Varazdin. Fertile valley of the Neretva is also called the Croatian California and it has. become the largest domestic producer of mandarins and other local products. Step back in time at Brioni the time stopped with the death of Tito and the image of the place is still as it was decades ago. Croatia is also a homeland of Marco Polo, who was a global traveller. His home was the island of Korcula in the southern Dalmatia.

Our top tips when in Croatia

Take one of the oldest city funiculars in the world to get from Zagreb Upper Town to the lower part.

Spend the day in Plitvice national park and admire the beauty of nature.

Cycle though the landscape of Istrian countryside and follow the parh of the old Parenzana trail, taste various local wine sorts and walk up to Motovun village to get the best views.

Spend a romantic evening in Dubrovnik, stroll along the narrow streets, admire the sunset from the old city walls and dine at one of the top restaurants in the city.

Palma City Info

Sign up to our newsletter, things to do, palma de majorca, balearic islands » city info » travel tips.

Palma de Mallorca is one of Europe's major holiday destinations because of sunny weather, stunning beaches, modern hotels and flashy shops, and historical attractions.

By Air: Palma de Mallorca (PMI) Airport or Aeropuerto de Palma de Mallorca is a major airport located approximately 8km east of Palma city. It is the third-largest airport in Spain and one of the busiest airports in Europe during the summer months. The city airport is served by lots of airline companies from many European countries.

The airport has four terminals, of which terminal A is used for domestic flights and terminal B, C, D is used for international flights. The airport serves over 29 million passengers per year. The airport is well connected with Palma and other major towns and resorts on the island by buses and metered cabs. The journey takes around 20mins to reach the city centre.

By Boat: Another way to reach Palma is by sea. However, this means of transport is not very popular. Many cruise ships run from Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza, Mahon, and Denia. Balearia and Trasmediterranea offer super fast ferries from mainland Spain to Majorca that reach Palma in around three hours.

By Taxi / Car: Mallorca is not connected with mainland Spain or other islands by roads or bridges. Travellers can drive down to Palma from different cities of Mallorca. Cities and towns in Mallorca have road links directly to Palma.

By Train: There are two railway routes. 'Ferrocarril de Soller' operates an electric train from Placa Espanya in Palma to Soller town. The train covers scenic routes since 1912 and is highly recommended to enjoy the spice of the island. Another railway route is controlled by Transport de les Illes Balears (TIB) that runs train services between Mallorcan towns.

Balearia: Ferries from Denia, Valencia, and Ibiza. Acconia Trasmediterranea: Ferries from Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza and Mahon. Iscomar Ferries: Ferries from Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza and Denia.

Visa- and Entry- Requirements for Mallorca

The island of Mallorca belongs to Spain. It is, therefore, part of the European Union and the Schengen agreement. The visa and entry requirements for visitors to Mallorca depend on nationality and intended length of stay.

Passport- and Visa- Requirements for Non-EU / Non-Schengen Nationals

Non-EU nationals from a number of different countries, including the UK, the US and Canada, amongst others, do not currently need a visa to visit Mallorca for a short stay. However, it is important that your passport fulfils the criteria as specified below. A new scheme called ETIAS is due to be introduced in 2025 , which will require non-EU nationals to obtain a visa-waiver prior to visiting Mallorca (please see below).

Passport validity

The following passport entry requirements apply to all nationals from non-EU / non-Schengen countries. Your passport needs to fulfil two criteria:

  • Valid for 3 months  or more  after the day you leave  Mallorca/Spain. Please check the  expiry date  of your passport. AND
  • Less than 10 years old  when you travel to Mallorca/Spain. This is calculated from the  date of issue .

These entry requirements are based on the information provided by the European Union . However, some airlines are currently requesting passport validity of  6 months  or more at the time of travel, so please double-check your airline’s requirements.

It is important that you check the validity of your passport in good time before you travel , to give you sufficient time to apply for a renewal, should this be necessary.

Visa requirements

Different visa rules apply, depending on your nationality and intended length of stay .

Visa exemptions for tourists on short stays

Nationals of over sixty countries do not require a visa for shorter trips and holidays, including

  • The United Kingdom
  • The United States
  • New Zealand
  • and many others

Please see the  European Union website  for a full list of countries whose nationals are exempt from the visa requirement.

For the above nationals, the following rules apply for travel to Mallorca:

  • You can stay visa-free for up to  90 days  in any  180-day period .
  • However, if you are also visiting other EU countries, you will need to check that you do not spend more than  90 days in total  across all the countries you visit, in any given 180-day period.
  • Different rules apply for longer stays and for anyone seeking employment in Mallorca.

Longer stays or non-visa exempt countries

A visa for travel to Mallorca is required if

  • You are planning to stay longer than the time period detailed above.
  • You are a national of another non-Schengen / non-EU country that is not listed in the above link.

If you do require a visa, you will need to apply for this at the  Spanish embassy  in your country of residence  prior to  travelling to Mallorca.

Find out more about the Mallorca Nomad Visa .

Additional requirements / documentation for all Non-EU / Non-Schengen nationals

If you are visiting Mallorca as a tourist from a non-EU / non-Schengen country, you will need to meet the following additional requirements:

  • Be in possession of a return ticket or ticket for onward travel
  • Have a proof of address for your stay in Mallorca
  • Have enough money to support yourself during your stay in Mallorca. Currently, this equals an amount of € 100 per day.

In practical terms, these requirements may not be routinely checked at the border control when you arrive in Mallorca.

New procedures to be introduced

There are changes on the horizon, with new procedures being introduced for nationals from non-EU/non-Schengen countries. Please note, that these are not yet operational .

ETIAS – Visa Waiver

Nationals from visa-exempt non-Schengen / non-EU countries will soon be required to apply for travel authorisation ahead of their journey to Mallorca. This new scheme is a visa-waiver rather than an actual visa. It is called ETIAS, which stands for E uropean T ravel I nformation and A uthorization S ystem. A valid ETIAS-authorisation will enable the person to visit Spain (and/or other European countries) as a tourist for short stays (please see above for the definition of a short stay).

An ETIAS travel authorisation can be obtained via the official website for a fee of € 7 and will be valid for 3 years . When applying, you will need to provide some  personal information , e.g. your name, address, passport details and current occupation. You will also be asked questions about criminal convictions, past travel to conflict zones, and you will need to  outline your travel plans  during your stay in Europe.

ETIAS was initially intended to be launched in May 2023 but has already been postponed several times. The most recent information announces that the scheme is now due to start in mid-2025 .

The EES or Entry/Exit s ystem is an IT system that will be used at passport control for passengers from non-EU, non-Schengen (third) countries. Its purpose is to speed up the process and increase the accuracy of the checks being carried out. The new system will automate procedures at border control and replace passport stamping. It will record the time and place of each person’s entry into the country and store their facial image and fingerprints . As with ETIAS, the EES is likely to become operational in 2025 .

Passport- and Visa- Requirements for Non-Schengen EU Nationals

Nationals from non-Schengen EU countries require a valid passport or National Identity Card to travel to Mallorca. A visa is not required .

This currently applies to the following countries:

Please note

From the end of March 2024 , Romania and Bulgaria will join Europe’s Schengen border-free zone for air travel . This means that there will be no more inspections for travellers arriving at Palma Airport from Bulgaria and Romania from 31/3/2024 .

Passport- and Visa- Requirements for Nationals from Schengen Countries

For travel within the Schengen area you are not usually required to show a passport or national identity card for travel. However, you will still need to bring one of these documents with you, as foreigners who are on Spanish territory are obligated to carry valid proof of identity with them. A visa is not required .

Lost or Stolen Passport

Should your passport get lost or stolen during your stay in Mallorca, you will need to get in touch with your embassy or consulate .

The Ultimate City Guide to Palma de Mallorca

The Ultimate City Guide to Palma de Mallorca

As you fly over the Tramuntana Mountains and descend over the countryside of Mallorca, The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma stands out in the distance. Welcome to Palma de Mallorca, one of the best island city destinations in Europe and well worth a visit.

It was my first time in Palma but not in Mallorca. In fact, I had completely skipped it on a previous trip , more allured by coastal towns and calas . This time I was certain we would return and spend a few nights in the bustling city. What I found was a stunning city, exploding with an exciting food scene and lots to love.

Palma de Mallorca is full of art, markets, and artisan shops. The time there blew by and I’m already itching to return to a few spots that I didn’t quite make it to. For those looking for what to do or better yet, where to eat, check out my ultimate guide to Palma de Mallorca.

Short on Time? Here Are My Top Picks for the Best Hotels in Palma de Mallorca:

  • Hotel Antigua Palma , for the best boutique hotel
  • Sant Francesc Singular Palma de Mallorca ,  for the best luxury hotel

If you’re exploring more of the island, read my in-depth guide to the best hotels in Mallorca .

Guide to Palma de Mallorca

What to know before traveling to palma de mallorca, when is the best time of year to visit palma de mallorca.

My suggestion for Palma de Mallorca is to try to visit during the off-season. Summer months mean crowded cruise ports and lots of heat, so the city can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. Because it is a city, you could ideally visit year-round if you wanted to. The best weather would be April through late May and September through October.

How many nights in Palma de Mallorca?

You could easily see the city in two nights for a full three days. It would give you ample time to eat at a few restaurants, visit the cathedral, and stroll the city. That said, I’m always a fan of a slower-paced travel experience so three nights could be great too.

Do I need a car to visit Palma de Mallorca?

No! I would suggest not bringing a car into the city if you do not have to. If you do, there are parking garages and very little street parking.

How do I get from Palma Airport to Palma?

There are two options available, either by taxi or bus. It is a 20-minute drive, so a taxi may suit you best if you want the fastest route in an air-conditioned vehicle that goes door to door. Typical taxi fares are around 25-30 euros. For bus service routes, see here .

Where to Stay in Palma de Mallorca

Hotel antigua palma.

Right in the heart of the city is Hotel Antigua Palma , a boutique design hotel with a chic rooftop terrace. I checked in with Kiwi Collection (collaboration) to stay at the hotel with my husband and daughter. Booking with Kiwi Collection has its perks that were available at this hotel, like an automatic upgrade, daily breakfast, and resort credit for dining.

When we checked in, the top suite was available for an upgrade. What a room! The grand ceilings, cool tones, and draped linens gave it a very chic feeling. I adored the free-standing tub for a soak after spending all day out exploring. The Hotel Antigua was close to everything we did in Palma, the furthest we had to walk was 20 minutes.

We enjoyed the rooftop terrace and restaurant with views overlooking the city at night. It was quiet, and intimate, and the entire team was helpful in planning our time in the bustling city.

Where to Eat in Palma de Mallorca

Mercat de l’olivar.

A highlight of our time in Palma was heading to Mercat de l’Olivar and into the back where the small tapas bar hideout. Head to the fish section and grab a seat at the Ostras bar — anything fresh from squid to boquerones is perfection.

Can Joan de s’Aigo

Famous for ensaimadas that are made with lard and their sipping chocolate, Can Joan de s’Aigo is a fan favorite in the city. I find the pastries a bit on the greasier side but nonetheless great.

I came across Ombu Tapas when doing research for the city, it’s a modern take on tapas. Overall I would say the food is good (it was packed, reservation needed). It was very innovative and had good flavors, though I found the prices on the steeper side.

Bar Espanya

For pintxos come to Bar Espanya . I adored this spot for a quick bite and a drink. Reservations are recommended as well.

La Rosa Vermutería & Colmado

I highly recommend getting a table at La Rosa Vermutería — every dish is wonderful from boquerones in vinegar to their famous Spanish omelet.

Mistral Coffee House

Of all the third-wave coffee houses, Mistal Coffee was our favorite.

El Aquanauta

For those looking for Mexican food in Mallorca, come to El Aquanauta for street tacos and more.

Spot was one of those places I wish we could have made it to. The food looks delicious and friends gave it a thumbs up.

La Molienda Bisbe

La Molienda Bisbe is good spot to pop in for breakfast and a solid coffee.

Emilio Innobar

Emilio is another one that came highly recommended. Unfortunately, it wasn’t open on the days we were there. Including it, in case you’d like to visit!

Things to Do in Palma de Mallorca

Shop local in palma.

There are so many wonderful artisan shops in the city center that I highly recommend popping into. The first is Arquinesia Perfumes for their artisan perfumes hosted in a beautiful century-old home. Second is GORDIOLA for all things made of glass, truly a beautiful store. And for all things woven or rattan, Mimbrería Vidal is where it’s at.

Stroll the City

Honestly, one of the best parts of our visit to Palma was going for a stroll through the city. It’s beautiful, the roads are narrow, and each leads to another view. I recommend going in the morning before the crowds to have it to yourself.

See the Palma Cathedral

The grand dame of the city is the Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral . It houses a 44-meter-tall nave, making it the second-highest nave of all Gothic cathedrals in the world. After you take a tour (recommend booking tickets online in advance), go for a stroll around the cathedral into the Bishop’s Garden or even the Banys Arab or Arab Baths.

Stroll Through Via Verí for Good Design

If you’re looking for interior design shops and a quite cute street to stroll, come here.

Visit Fundació Miró Mallorca

Just on the outskirts of the city (taxi needed) is Miró’s workshop where we painted and sculpted. While part of the building is still under construction, if you have time, it’s worth a visit.

Other Top Things to Do in Palma:

  • Spend a day at a local beach club like Anima or PuroBeach
  • Go to the Bellver Castle
  • Visit Es Baluard Museum of Modern & Contemporary Art
  • Go on a Tuesday tapas trail through the city
  • Eat at the Mercat de Santa Catalina food market

Ps — are you booking a trip soon use my booking checklist.

These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you . If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here .

1. Book Your Flights

Use Skyscanner to find the best flights. It searches 100s of airlines and websites across the globe to ensure you’re not missing out on any route options or deals.

2. Book Your Accommodations

Use Booking.com for hotels and guest houses. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.

3. Book Your Tours & Experiences

Use Viator or Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check both as their inventory varies depending on the destination.

4. Book Your Car

Use Discover Cars or Rentalcars.com to find the best car rental deals. I recommend comparing rental agency reviews on Google to ensure you are booking with the best company in that destination, as the reviews are often more accurate than the car rental search engines.

5. Don’t Forget Airport Lounge Access

Get a Priority Pass membership to gain access to 1,400+ VIP lounges and airport experiences worldwide. The Priority Pass app is the first thing I check when I have a layover. I’ve been a member for over a decade, and having a comfortable place to relax before and between flights makes air travel so much more enjoyable.

6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance

I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, and cancelations, etc.). I use it frequently for my travels to stay protected.

My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:

  • World Nomads (best for all-around)
  • Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)

Xx, Jessica
