Palma is located on the southwestern coast of Mallorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands. Its prime location along the Mediterranean Sea gives it a stunning coastal environment, with easy access to some of the island’s most beautiful beaches, including Playa de Palma and Cala Major. The Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site, lies just north of the city, providing scenic hiking trails and picturesque vistas.
The city is well-connected to major European cities, with its airport, Palma de Mallorca Airport, just 10 km away, making it a key entry point for tourists. Nearby islands like Ibiza and Menorca are easily accessible by ferry or plane, offering further exploration opportunities.
Palma enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot, dry summers. The best times to visit are during spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October), when temperatures are pleasant, and the tourist crowds are thinner. Summers can get quite hot, with average temperatures reaching 30°C (86°F), making the coastal breeze and beachside relaxation particularly appealing.
