Appartement Palma

Palma is the capital of Mallorca and the administrative centre of the Balearic Islands, a city of roughly 400,000 residents that combines a genuinely historic urban core with a sophisticated contemporary lifestyle. The old town, anchored by the Gothic cathedral of La Seu and the Almudaina Royal Palace overlooking the bay, gives the city an architectural weight rarely found in Mediterranean island capitals. Palma functions as a year-round city, not a seasonal resort, which underpins the resilience and depth of its property market.

Daily life in Palma centres on neighbourhoods such as Santa Catalina, with its covered market and restaurant concentration, and the Passeig del Born for retail and café culture. The Portixol waterfront, a short distance east of the old town, offers a relaxed marina setting with direct beach access. Cultural institutions include the Es Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Fundació Miró Mallorca.

Palma Airport (PMI) sits approximately 8 kilometres east of the city centre, reachable in under 15 minutes by car, and operates direct routes to over 100 destinations across Europe and beyond, including year-round connections to London, Frankfurt, Zurich, and Madrid. The port of Palma provides regular ferry services to Barcelona, Valencia, and Ibiza. Intercity bus and taxi infrastructure within Mallorca is well developed, and the island’s road network makes most coastal destinations accessible within 45 minutes.
