Palma del Mallorca which area to stay for first visit

[mumma24]

Just booked flight to go to Palma with my 20 year old daughter next April

many suggestion of best location or hotel please? Mid budget

walking distant to old town, shops, markets, the beach
thank you

@mumma24 Nakar hotel is in newer area but is very good. Don’t have all details as DD stayed there with friends and really enjoyed it.

Higher end: Can Cera or Sant Francesc in the old town.

Thank you @TizerorFizz

I stayed at posada terra santa and wouldn't stay anywhere else now. Stunning hotel and service and amazing location. It is higher end though I got a good deal and a free upgrade.

thanks @wheo ii know there’s the harbour but is there a good beach nearby to walk to?

I second Nakar hotel

IIRC you'll probably take a bus to the better beaches

We stayed at Palma Suites. It's an aparthotel and serves the most incredible breakfasts and the staff are charming. You get a glass of cava on arrival and the suites themselves are fabulous. We just booked an Easyjet break and were blown away with how lovely it was. Also a great location in the old town with lots of great bars and restaurants within cooee.

@CharlotteStreetW1 this looks amazing. Thank you . Will check with my daughter if a swimming pool is important as I can’t see one.

There's a plunge pool on the roof terrace.

I stayed recently in playa de Palma and it was perfect. Short hop from the airport, lovely long clean beach, plenty of restaurants and shops. I can't wait to go back.
