Holiday homes & rentals in Palma de Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca has many modern seaside apartments and villas with pools from which to explore the capital city of Mallorca island.

Delicious seafood, stylish art galleries and museums as well as unforgettable concert venues are just some of the delights that await you in this haven of sunny luxury.

Excitement for your taste buds

Some of the best local flavours can be found directly in the markets, such as the San Juan Gastronomic Market situated in a modernist building from the beginning of the 20th c. Alongside fresh seafood and Mallorcan specialties, you will also find international cuisine here.

If you're feeling like a bit of a splurge, head to La Bodeguilla, a restaurant which received two Michelin stars in 2017 and serves excellent wines, along with unusual tapas and high quality Iberian ham.

Enjoy a relaxing holiday in the Mallorca sunshine

One of the main attractions of this dazzling island is the consistently fantastic weather, ideal for making the most of the summer sun and exploring the range of great outdoor activities. Even the winters are wonderfully mild, but most holidaymakers choose to come between June and September, when temperatures are easily in the high 20s if not 30s, especially in July and August.

While staying in your holiday apartment, you’ll be a very short walk from the beach, with brilliant facilities nearby meaning you can hop into the shade for a bite to eat or drink to cool off. Other great coastlines near Palma de Mallorca are at Cas Català, Palmanova and Magaluf, all within a 20-minute taxi ride away.

Active holidays in Palma

Cycling is a great way to see the surroundings independently, with a number of cycle hire shops available in town. As the island enjoys great year-round weather, you’ll find it a highly enjoyable experience on well-trekked routes. Mallorca is also wonderfully equipped for keen golfers, with many great courses located around Palma de Mallorca itself.

Mallorcan culture and history

Don't miss out on Es Baluard, the mallorcan museum of modern and contemporary art, which houses works by major Spanish artists such as Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali, but also includes installations by contemporary artists such as Marina Abramovic.

The Royal Palace of La Almudania was originally an Arabian fort before being taken over by the Crown of Aragon, a mediteranean kingdom of medieval times. It is currently used as a summer residence by the King of Spain, but visitors are admitted and can admire the historical tapestries and furniture.

Cave of wonders

For a spectacular day trip, visit the Drach Caves where illuminated boats float on bright turquoise water beneath a rock ceiling covered with stalactites. The stalactites grow at the rate of 1cm every hundred years, which gives you an idea of how ancient these caves really are.

Classical concerts are regularly performed in these caves, so you can let yourself be transported by beautiful music while floating in the boats in this magical setting.
