Going Upmarket in PALMANOVA, Mallorca? A Holiday Update

  • In this video, find out if Palmanova in Mallorca is going upmarket.
    With the new premium sun-bed service being rolled out on beaches throughout the Calvia municipality, check out this and other BIG changes in Palmanova.
    I also bring you an update on the building works taking place at the building site behind the Cas Saboners Aparthotel and we take a walk to Son Matias Beach, highlighting some cheap eats and out-of-the-way equipment hire.
    Exploring Son Matias Beach, we see how busy it is, then moving onto Palmanova Beach.
    I talked to a family who are staying at the Rosa del Mar about their impressions of Palmanova and whether they feel welcome in the resort following press reports claiming tourists are no longer welcome.
    I speak to the beach rental manager to find out what’s going on to beach services, before heading to look at the developments at the Hotel Tropico.
    We then walk around the point to check out the Britannia Jet departure times, before walking to Es Carregardor beach.
    But in big news, find out which bar has closed forever on the Palmanova waterfront.

      My family and I are staying at the cas saboners, we can see the cranes as our room is facing that way, all rooms face to pool. The noise is hardly anything, we heard a few bangs and see the cranes move occasionally but that's it. Doesn't bother us at all. We go home Wednesday and its not been a problem one bit.

    Enjoying the weather here in Palmanova..would say to any ladies coming over to make sure you have the clothing you'll need....i got flip flops in the U.k. that are £10 more expensive here. .I also brought over short sleeve m&s t shirts which are too thick to wear!! It's blistering hot...forget the batwings and go sleeveless!
    Supermarket food,eating out and drink have really increased since we were here 3 yrs ago..
    We've managed well with hire car and used our blue badge in their disabled spaces fine...
    Folk as wonderful as ever....especially in the Aquasol..

You can hear slight noise from the bedroom during the day but this didnt disturb my childrens naps other than that it was fine didnt affect our holiday. I was more worried about dust as my daughter has asthma but hotel very clean and no issues with this at all.

    Really wouldn't advise Palmanova. Sea was full of plastic and rubbish. There was an old German man taking pictures of top less women and children which I reported to police and they did nothing but move him on. Trashy place... We made the most of it but I'd say its the worst holiday we have had by a mile.

    Alex..
    Can I ask an enormous favour ❤
    Next time you're at Palma Airport (you may even have a photo)..
    Could you go to the taxi rank and get a snap of the prices by cab to the resorts.
    Myself and my wife are heading to Sa Coma.
    It's just so we can factor in the cost.
    Because last time we were there, we got a coach transfer that never moved from its parking spot for 2 hours, and took 1hr 50 after that to drop us off.
    I will also message Andrew (loving life mallorca) too, and see who replies first.
    Keep up the good work.
    Best wishes ❤️
    Tom & Alex (Wigan)😊
