Platja de Palma (Palma Beach), Palma de Mallorca

Palma Beach (Platja de Palma) is a sun‑soaked stretch of golden-white sand along the tranquil bay of Palma. Extending roughly 4.5 kilometers from Can Pastilla to S’Arenal, the beach is divided into 15 sectors-“balnearios”-each marked by stainless steel kiosks and shaded terraces, once the famous sites of Ballermann culture but now undergoing modernization. With gently sloping seabed and shallow, crystal-clear waters, it’s especially popular with families and swimmers of all ages.

The extensive promenade that runs alongside Palma Beach is the scenic Promenade (Paseo Marítimo), which links the capital with the beach and stretches over 5.5 kilometers across districts such as Can Pere Antoni and El Arenal. From here, you’ll find a lively scene of beachfront cafés, restaurants, and bars serving Mediterranean cuisine and Mallorcan specialties-paella by the sea, tapas at sunset, or seafood at open-air chiringuitos.

During the day, you can bask in the sun, swim, or enjoy water sports from jet-skis and paddleboarding to banana boats and parasailing. Beachfront infrastructure ensures comfort with sun loungers, umbrellas, showers, ramps for disabled access, and lifeguards on duty.

For a change of pace, visit the nearby Palma Aquarium-just a short ride from the beach-for a fascinating marine experience with sharks, Mediterranean ecosystems, and tropical biomes. In the evenings, Partystars flock to venues like Megapark around Balneario 5, though recent efforts aim to shift the area toward a more family-friendly vibe. Whether you’re after relaxing beach days, seaside dining, or local flair, Palma Beach offers a versatile and memorable coastal escape near the vibrant capital.
