The five main neighborhoods to stay in the capital of Palma de Mallorca are the historic Old Town, chic Portixol (with its sandy beach), hip Santa Catalina, family-friendly Playa de Palma and Cala Major (for a bit of everything).
Mallorca
Mallorca is a Balearic island gem.
Wander through Palma de Mallorca’s Gothic cathedral and bustling streets, then escape to hilltop villages like Deia and Valldemossa, where time seems to stand still. Indulge in fresh seafood by the harbor, and explore hidden beaches accessible only by foot.
Mallorca is quite simply one of our favorite islands to visit in Europe!
