Palma Nova is Hot

Palma Nova is situated on the island of Majorca, on the south west coast, approx 1 hour transfer time from the airport in nearby Palma.

The resorts benefit from a good regular bus service making getting around quite easy. Also worth considering when a number of people travel together would be one of the numerous taxis. Generally fares are very reasonable, however, experience shows that it is better to agree the fare in advance, and always try to have the correct money ready.

Palma Nova has three beaches. The beaches are Son Matias, Son Caliu and Palma Nova beach, with the latter being the biggest. Palma Nova beach offers water sports, fishing and snorkelling activities.

When you are on the beaches beware of the fruit men who will try to sell you their fruit for high prices, you may also come across gypsy ladies selling red flowers or fake jewellery. The quality of the products sold may not be what you think, there are lots of shops to choose from and at least you know what you are buying.

The promenade offers some exclusive restaurants with Chinese, French, Italian and Mexican cuisine. Palma Nova is not as hectic as Magaluf and is a good choice for young couples who fancy a quieter, relaxed evening.

You will find everything you may need on your holiday such as a good chemist, supermarkets, restaurants and cheap tobacconists.

Plenty of little bars and restaurants to take away your thirst on those sunny days in the summer. There are some nice Karaoke Bars and the English Pubs where you can get your typical bacon and eggs and some proper draught beer.

You also have some more traditional Spanish bars for some good strong coffees and later in the day some nice tapas.

There are no real nightclubs but some of the late night bars have English Djs playing all the latest tunes and of course some of the good old stuff. It will give you a good night out till the early morning hours.

There is definitely one thing in Palma Nova not to be missed and thats the Crazy Golf. It has some fifty odd holes to be played, all set in attractive tropical gardens with some nice water features and caves. Open most of the day until late in the evening in the summer season.

Weather is hot in the summer months and cooler in the winter months. The resort is open in the summer and closed in the winter.
