Palma Bay Resorts and Beaches
Son Sant Joan International Airport being 8km from the capital Palma, offers a number of transfer options.
The cheapest being the shuttle bus which runs every 15 minutes from 6.10am to 2.15am and costs around €2 per person. The route taken being from the airport on to the Plaza Espana in the city centre, then on to the ferry terminal and port areas.
Loaded up with suitcases and family, this might not be the best option with which to start your holiday! Door to door taxis service is by far the best option.
This historic city of Palma is what Majorca is all about, not the tourist trap environment, but one of fabulous cultures, all of them in this one beautiful city.
Yes, like London in the UK, the a commercial centre of course, but the wonderful history stored here, of the many and ancient cultures are traced back to long before Roman times.
Music, art, ballet, festivals, theatre, all of life's treasures are here to enjoy, not to mention the nightlife!, and it is little known that the tree lined avenues of La Rambla and the Passeig des Born was once a dried riverbed many centuries old.
Being centred around the huge Bay of Palma, the nearest beaches are C'an Pastilla and Cala Mayor, some 5km to 6 km away.
Palma Bay Resorts and Beaches
The well maintained as well as the poorly maintained tourist developments in Majorca, meet here, along a 25-km stretch of coast.
The former villages of S'Arenal and Magaluf face each other across Palma Bay.
A very long time in the past, the only buildings to stand out would have been Palma's cathedral and castle.
Now however, a continuous stretch of hotels, which are ugly concrete buildings, extend all of the way to Magaluf.
Each of the resorts has around this bay its own character, to suit the young or old, British or Continentals, economy class or club class tourist/holiday maker.
One moment you can be in Portals Nous, with its smart marina crammed with expensive millionaires' yachts, the next moment in Magaluf, all British pubs and wet T-shirt contests.
Not all bad though, because follow the road beyond Magaluf through the pine woods, and suddenly you are among tiny coves, where, out of season, you might still find your own private beach.
Keep going, and eventually you reach the headland of Cap de Cala Figuera where you can look back at sweeping views of the entire bay.
Sheer magnificent and ancient cliffs rise from out of the clear blue sea, with not a hotel in sight.
On a crystal clear and star lit night, here at least is a little bit of heaven, for utter peace and solitude; as you take in the breathtaking beauty of a star studded night sky.
