New Build Penthouse In Cala Major With Sea Views And Private Pool

Palma is the capital of Mallorca and one of the most established property markets in the western Mediterranean. The city carries genuine cultural weight: the Gothic cathedral La Seu dominates the seafront, the Almudaina Royal Palace sits alongside it, and the old town holds centuries of layered architecture within a walkable core. Distinct quarters, from the historic Casc Antic to the converted warehouses of Santa Catalina, give the city a range of residential identities that few island capitals can match.

Daily life in Palma centres on neighbourhoods like Santa Catalina for its market and restaurant scene, Portixol for waterfront dining, and the Passeig del Born for retail and cafés. Son Vida to the northwest is the address for larger private estates. The Mercat de l’Olivar remains the main covered food market for residents.

Palma Airport sits approximately eight kilometres east of the city centre, reachable in around fifteen minutes by car or taxi. It is one of the busiest airports in Spain, with direct scheduled and charter routes to most major European cities year-round, and significantly expanded connections from April through October. Inter-island ferry services from the port connect Palma to Ibiza, Menorca, and mainland Barcelona and Valencia.
