Best For: Families who want a bit of everything — culture, coast, great food, and easy island exploring. Palma’s compact size means you can hop between museums, parks, shops and seafront strolls without much effort, and there’s plenty to keep older kids and teens entertained. Ideal for short breaks or a city-meets-beach base.
Not Ideal For: Palma is a busy city, especially in summer, so it’s not the best pick if you’re planning to spend most of your time on the sand. If your dream holiday starts with a barefoot breakfast by the sea, consider staying somewhere along the South West Coast — you’ll still have easy access to Palma, but the beach will be on your doorstep.
