PALMA

Palma is the capital – and only – city of the Balearic Islands. Settled in a large bay on the southwest coast of Mallorca, this region is overflowing with rich culture, history and captivating gothic architecture. One of the most iconic landmarks is the Santa Maria cathedral, which was built in the 13th century and overlooks the Bay of Palma. Venture just a short distance from here to discover the unassuming treasure of Deia – a quaint coastal village frequented by only locals and a few foreign literary and musical artists. Day or night, you won’t want to leave the island without stopping by the town’s cemetery for an eerily beautiful outlook over the Mediterranean.

Palma is a radiating metropolis that boasts a picture-perfect blend of Mediterranean beauty, rich culture, and amazing history. Cruise along Mallorca’s stunning coastline, characterised by dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and pristine beaches to reach Palma. Moor in the city’s protected harbour and head ashore to explore the vibrant atmosphere, where Gothic buildings and a bustling culture meet in the historic city streets. Visit the city’s famous landmarks like the La Seu Cathedral and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, as well as the lively Paseo Martimo promenade, to fully immerse yourself. Try local cuisine like ensaimada, tumbet, and sobrassada.
