Platja de Palma Beach Mallorca

If you cannot wait to get on a beach, this 5km stretch of fine white sand is just minutes from the airport. The two resorts of Can Pastilla and S' Arenal have merged into one, connected by a long palm lined promenade offering every possible entertainment in summer. This is a good resort for families -  there are children's playgrounds and a miniature train ride, though the nightlife can get a bit raucous. Take a passeig here before dinner and you have a fabulous view of Palma, the twinkling lights on the waterfront reflected in the sea.
