Penthouse over the roofs of Palma

Palma - vibrant and exciting

The capital of the island, Palma, is more than just the economic, political and cultural centre of the Balearic Islands. With one of the most beautiful and best-preserved historic town centres in the Mediterranean and its exclusive promenade, the Paseo Marítimo, Palma is also a good place to live in. Wide boulevards, innumerable shops and boutiques, restaurants and pavement cafés form the backdrop for a bustling, colourful street-life. When you visit the market halls or the old cafés in the old town, time seems to stand still.

Also nicknamed the Hollywood of Majorca, Son Vida, the north-eastern district of Palma, has two 5-star hotels as well as several golf courses and spas. This is where some of the most exclusive properties on the island are to be found. Not far from the capital are the popular beach resorts of Portixol, Cala Mayor, San Agustín and Cas Català with cosy restaurants beside beaches and marinas. If you buy property in or near Palma, you can enjoy all the flair of a stunning, pulsating Mediterranean city – and from most places also a gorgeous view over the old town or the sweeping bay.
