Description

Playa de Palma is a sweeping sandy beach in the south-east of Palma, set right along the bay of the island's capital.

Fine sand, shallow water, and a long promenade

The beach is defined by soft, pale sand and a very gently shelving seabed — you can walk a long way out before the water gets deep. In calm weather the sea is clear and turquoise, and the promenade running the length of the beach is a pleasure to stroll along. Sunsets over the Bay of Palma are one of the most talked-about draws.

Cleanliness and facilities

Many visitors praise how clean the beach is kept, particularly in the early morning. Restaurants, bars, and shops line the promenade, and sunloungers are available along the beach.

Peak season and the quieter months

During summer, Playa de Palma gets very busy and the lively party atmosphere around the so-called Ballermann area dominates the scene. If you prefer a calmer visit, spring and autumn are considerably quieter, making a leisurely beach walk far more enjoyable.

Playa de Palma lies in the Platja de Palma i Pla de Sant Jordi area, postcode 07600, in the south-east of Palma. EMT buses and taxis are the main public transport options.
