The resort of Palma Nova in the south west of Mallorca.
|
 |
Palma Nova is situated in the south west of the island and was one of the earliest areas to be developed as a holiday resort.
The resort has expanded over the years and now
merges with the Son Matias area which leads directly into the neighbouring resort of Magaluf.
|
The beach and promenade have been renovated over the years and directly opposite there are numerous restaurants and bars.
Water-skiing and banana boat trips are available and the boat excursions on glass bottom boats and others can be taken from the jetty at Son Matias beach.
Night life is quieter than the neighbouring Magaluf, with a variety of bars and live entertainment venues aimed at the family with less emphasis on the disco pubs and clubs geared towards the younger generation.
|
|
Restaurants along the sea front cater to every taste and budget, ranging from fast food at McDonalds to some beautiful "a la carte" restaurants and several friendly cafeterias.
Most bars and restaurants have a choice of either local drinks or imports.
