Palma Nova, Majorca Holidays: Beaches and Family Resorts
Palma Nova on Majorca is one of the most reliable choices for a first family holiday in the Balearics. It pairs gentle, sheltered bays with a short transfer from the airport, so you can be paddling in the Mediterranean not long after landing.
UK couples and families come back year after year because the resort is easy to manage. The beaches shelve slowly, the promenade is flat for buggies, and there is enough going on in the evenings without anything getting rowdy.
Where to stay in Palma Nova
The hotels here sit close to the sand, which keeps days simple. Hotel Comodoro Playa is a four-star beachfront option in Majorca, Balearic Islands, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, so you are a short stroll from the water whenever you fancy a swim.
Getting there and when to go
Most UK airports run regular flights to Palma, and the transfer to Palma Nova is short. The season runs from spring through to autumn, with the hottest, busiest weeks in July and August. May, June and September give you warm sea and quieter beaches if you can travel outside the school break.
Beaches and resorts
Palma Nova is built around a couple of soft sandy bays with calm, shallow water that suits young swimmers and nervous paddlers alike. Loungers, gentle waves and a tidy seafront make it an easy spot to settle into for a week.
Food and things to do
Along the promenade you will find the usual mix of Spanish places, family-friendly restaurants and cafes serving everything from grilled fish to familiar comfort food. Beyond the beach there are boat trips, water sports and easy days out along this stretch of the Majorcan coast.
Who it suits
Palma Nova works best for families with younger children and for couples who want a relaxed beach week rather than a party. If you like calm water, short transfers and a low-fuss resort, it is a safe bet.
