One island, a thousand sensations
Visiting Palma is a true gift: on one hand it is a Mediterranean city, with unique culture, architecture and gastronomy, and on the other, a gateway to the rest of the magical island.
Palma has a privileged location providing a launch pad for return trips to all the island’s blue and green corners (plus every colour in between), trips to the sea or the mountains, trips to World Heritage sites, relaxing trips to its enchanting towns or a chance to experience the island’s beautiful sunsets. One island, a thousand and one sensations. All are unique and diverse in nature. Because Palma and Mallorca are the gifts that come in a pack, and you need to make the most of them.
