200+ Vacation Rentals in Palma, Balearic Islands, Spain

The capital and largest city of the autonomous community, the Balearic Islands in Spain, Palma sits on the south coast of Mallorca on the Bay of Palma.

Mallorca’s vibrant capital, Palma is stylish and intimate, yet bursting with life. The cosmopolitan capital of the Balearic Islands and a huge Mediterranean tourist destination, this island is lively all year round with luxury hotels, trendy restaurants, elegant cafes, diverse shops, vibrant nightlife, and a burgeoning art scene. With the glistening Mediterranean Sea at its feet, this effortlessly accessible capital offers a delicious melting pot of cultures, and historic influences. Whether in the cobbled streets of the atmospheric old town, or in the heart of the grand plaças, impressive monuments, museums, galleries, and churches of Gothic splendor abound. Edgy districts happily rub shoulders with more traditional and exclusive neighborhoods, while a vibrant food and shopping scene weaves its magic across the city. Head for a seafront café, breathe the air, relax, and enjoy that first sip of ruby red Mallorcan wine.

• La Seu Cathedral: Wonder at the gothic splendor of the city's cathedral when you visit La Seu Cathedral. One of the three largest cathedrals in Europe, La Seu Cathedral towers above the tranquil lake of Parc de la Mar and is visible from land and sea. The capital’s pride and joy, the magnificent sandstone edifice carries the weight of eight centuries of history. Inside the cathedral, you can admire a spectacular wrought iron baldaquin, created by Gaudí, which is beautifully reminiscent of a crown of thorns. Stunning stained-glass rosettes adorn the windows, forming a spectacle of multicolored lights.
• Palma Aquarium: Take a trip under the sea and marvel at the exotic aquatic species on show at Palma Aquarium. Home to 55 tanks containing over 700 different species from the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the aquarium is home to a true gamut of international sea life. Adults and children alike will love seeing an expansive array of sea life including vibrantly coloured fish, octopus, sharks, and rays in their underwater natural habitat. With numerous exhibits that display several different species of marine life, individuals, young and old, will be educated and entertained on this fun-packed day out.
• Almudaina Palace: Relax by the lakeside at the city's emblematic fortress of the Almudaina Palace. Sitting adjacent to the La Seu Cathedral, the original alcazar of the 10th century was all but demolished. However, this building is a gothic architectural masterpiece in its own right. Venture upstairs beyond the sumptuously dressed historic rooms at ground level to see the Pyrenean marble portal in St. Anne’s Chapel, a rare example of Romanesque style art in Mallorca.

• Formentera: If you’re looking for pure, white sand beaches and seas so blue, then you can find it all here on the island of Formentera. Accessible via ferry, Formentera makes a wonderful day trip of respite and provides a rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle of Ibiza. The smallest Balearic island, Formentera is renowned across Europe for its gorgeous beach life and expansive choice of aquatic activities including snorkelling, sailing, and scuba diving. If you happen to be a beach bum, then you’ll be right at home!
