Palma Nova is famous for its Paseo Maritimo Coastal Promenade, where both locals and tourists can walk and enjoy the scenery and at the same time check out the long line of souvenir shops and stores parallel to the beach. The beaches of Palma Nova are just a short 15 km west of the airport. The sands tend to be quieter and more tranquil than those in Magaluf.
There are three beaches beside the town--Playa Carregador, Playa Palma Nova and Playa Son Maties. Alongside all beaches are restaurants, bars, shops and free car parking.
The former is a 600-metre stretch of fine sand, good for enjoying water activities like boating or windsurfing. The latter is where you can find all the bars and nightclubs. Playa Palma Nova is a nice middle ground, at 1 kilometre interspersed with small playgrounds. It's a great place for families and couples alike.
One of the main things to enjoy on a trip to Palma Nova is dining out. There are plenty of different cuisines on offer, including many traditional Spanish tapas bars.
The Chi Lounge (Playa Son Matias) is a trendy place to grab a cocktail on your summery holiday. The vibe is relaxed, the food Asian fusion. Definitely a stop for any beach-goer who likes to hang out in hip company.
The Welsh Mosquito (Playa Son Matias), a British-style bar next to the famous Chi Lounge, is a friendly tavern with great views of the beach. There's a variety of international cuisine here--be sure to try the grilled meats or the lasagna.
Aside from good food, shopping sprees are another activity enjoyed by many visitors to Palma Nova in February. There are plenty of small shops and boutiques parallel to the beach front but the best shopping experiences can be found a little further inland at the capital, Palma de Mallorca. Theme parks are also a popular option with tourists and locals of all age, with Marineland and Golf Fantasia two of the biggest.
