Best Places to Stay for Beaches
Visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches in Calvia, located along the Badia de Palma (Bay of Palma). Magaluf is the most famous place to stay. This seaside resort is surrounded by theme parks, restaurants, shops, discos, and hotels for every budget. Separated from Magaluf by a headland, Palma Nova is another great choice for accommodations, with family-friendly attractions and the beaches of Son Matias, Na Nadala, and Es Carregador. A quiet neighborhood just on the outskirts of Palma Nova, Son Caliu is peaceful but close enough to be able to walk to the busy areas. Find a room here for a romantic vacation by the sea.
