The hugely popular resort of Palma Nova and its nearest neighbour Magaluf, are the largest resort developments of the municipal district of Calvia, and is situated on the south west coast of the island. Once you've arrived in the resort, and settled into your accommodation, making the return trip into Palma for either shopping or sightseeing is fairly easy by public transport. Throughout the day and well into the evening, buses from Palma Nova to Palma run every 30 minutes and at less than £2.50 for the journey, do represent excellent value for money. An alternative to the buses, worth considering when a number of people can travel together, is one of the numerous taxis that operate around the resort. Generally, fares are very reasonable, however, experience shows that it is better to agree the fare in advance, especially when going out of the resort, and always try to have the correct money (plus the obligatory tip) ready.

Both Palma Nova and Magaluf have fine sandy beaches with everything on hand to keep you and the rest of your party amused throughout the day. Watersports, glass bottom boat trips, go karting, ...
... water parks as well as countless shops, bars and restaurants are all located along the wide traffic free promenades.

For those on self catering breaks, you will never be more than a few hundred yards from either a fast food restaurant or a reasonably priced English friendly pub or for something more adventurous there are a number of local restaurants which align the seafront front all specialising in tapas or another local favourite paella. Well worth a try.

In comparison between the two, the beach at Palma Nova is also quieter than the one in Magaluf, however this may be simply because there is less hotels here. Both beaches are kept remarkably clean throughout the entire summer, a combination of persistent tidying from the local authorities and a ban on consuming glass bottles on both beaches. Palma Nova is a resort better suited to young families because there are less nightclubs and bars thus the thousands of party goers are more drawn to the resort of Magaluf.
