Come on Over to Palma Nova!

March 14th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Majorca holidays, Spain

Whether your Majorca family holidays are on a splurge or on a shoestring, there’s no better place for them than sunny Palma Nova. This popular resort town has plenty to keep everyone entertained; from the Spanish Royal family to the hordes of bargain holidaymakers that regularly flock to its warm sandy beaches. So whether you’re spending or saving on your holidays, here’s our guide to Palma Nova’s must-see attractions.

The Beach

On a Shoestring…

You simply can’t take your Majorca family holidays and miss out on the area’s fantastic gold sand beaches. The beach at Playa de Palmanova shelves gently out into the sea and provides the perfect bathing conditions for young families. The beach has been awarded the Blue Flag award for Excellence and is not only great for its gentle swimming conditions, but is also the best option if you’re into water sports. As well as kite surfing, scuba diving and paragliding, the beach has dolphin-watching boat excursions and a volleyball court, both ideal for Majorca family holidays.

Splashing Out…

If you want to splash out on your Majorca family holidays, then the beach to see and to be seen on is Carre Pagell. Celebrities and royalty alike flock to Puro, an ultra-trendy beach club located on the seafront. At night the rich and fabulous come out to play, and during the day there is an holistic programme of events including yoga and spa treatments.

The Family Attraction

On a Shoestring…

If you’re reaching the end of your Majorca family holidays and need to tone down your spending, then the perfect family attraction can be found at Golf Fantasia. Golf Fantasia is a crazy-golf theme park perfect for both adults and children.

There are three different 18-hole courses to choose from and all are situated in tropical parkland featuring waterfalls, caves and lakes. Golf Fantasia also has a games arcade, complete with slot-machines and an enviable snack-bar.

Splurging Out…

If you really want to treat the family on your Majorca family holidays then the Pirates Adventure is a great splurge. The tickets aren’t cheap, but the antics of Sir Henry Morgan and his band of brave buccaneers at the Pirates Theatre in nearby Magaluf are sure to captivate your whole family. Watch in awe, whilst sipping your complimentary grog, as the pirates defeat their French foes through a spectacular mixture of gymnastics, dance and martial arts.

The Family Meal

On a Shoestring…

If you like to wake up to a full English breakfast, then you really can’t go wrong in Palma Nova. McDonalds, KFC and Burger King all feature, but the restaurants along the seafront all serve cheap British food, which is just as good, if not better, than these popular establishments. Karen’s Bar comes highly recommended and promises a warm Welsh welcome to all its patrons. The bar specialises in steaks and other cuts of meat, but we suggest trying the home-made Spaghetti Carbonara, a bargain at just €6.00.

Splurging Out…

Tristans is the only restaurant in Majorca to boast two Michelin stars, and if you really want to splash out on your Majorca family holidays, then this is the place to go. The restaurant is a popular meeting place for yacht owners and celebrities who don’t bat an eyelid at its hugely exorbitant prices. Owned by German chef, Gerhard Schwaiger, the restaurant specialises in traditional Mallorcan cuisine and even has a gourmet tapas menu. A main course will set you back around €56.00 but the food is well worth the hefty price-tag. The wine list is also fantastic, and the location overlooking the marina will provide a memorable ending to your Majorca family holidays.
