One of Majorca’s earliest package holiday destinations, Palma Nova is situated just 12 kilometres from the city of Palma de Mallorca and is also close to the famous resort of Magaluf. Somewhat quieter than neighbouring Magaluf, Palma Nova is more of a family resort with all the facilities that you would expect for this type of destination. Its wonderful sandy beach, shelves gently to the sea, with plenty of space to laze and enjoy the sun. The main beach of Palma Nova is sixty metres wide and almost half a mile long so you should be able to find your own spot. There are sunbeds and parasols for hire and there are also water sports facilities to enjoy, lifeguards are on duty during the busiest times and warning flags should be observed by swimmers, though Palma Nova beach is mostly safe even for young children. Palma Nova weather is of course one of its main attractions, being sunny and dry most of the time during the normal holiday period. The nightlife is pretty good though for real clubbing head for Magaluf. All in all a great resort on a popular holiday island.
