Located on Majorca’s south-west coast Palma Nova is Magaluf’s quieter, family friendly neighbour. The gorgeous bay boasts three long, white, sandy beaches, with Blue Flag-awarded Playa Palma Nova the jewel in a glistening crown. The soft sand slopes gently into shallow water, providing 500m of spacious beach. The promenade is packed with friendly bars and restaurants which continue all the way in to Magaluf which is a 10-minute drive away.

By day, take your pick from the serene beaches and quieter restaurants. And should the mood take you in the evening, the party-hard neighbourhood of Magaluf with its hundreds of bars and nightclubs is just a short distance away. Think of holidays to Palma Nova as a chance to enjoy Magaluf’s calmer, more level-headed side, with as much or as little nightlife as you like.

If you pull yourself away from the magnificent beaches Palma Nova has plenty of activities to keep you entertained on your holiday. Golf Fantasia has three floodlit crazy golf courses that wind themselves through caves and tropical waterfalls. Visit the Aqualand waterpark located just outside of Magaluf or try your hand at go karting at Karting Magaluf on a professional track. The sophisticated capital of Majorca, Palma is only 20 minutes’ drive away where you can take in the sights of the Gothic cathedral, the hilltop castle and magnificent harbour.
