The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma is the crown jewel of Palma. This massive Gothic structure spans 109 meters in length with a 44-meter nave and 6,600 square meters of floor space. Featuring the largest rose window in the Gothic world, it illuminates the city center. Construction lasted from 1229 to 1630, creating this unforgettable architectural landmark.
Palma Aquarium in Mallorca showcases over 700 marine species across more than 50 tanks. With an impressive shark habitat, diverse ecosystems, and a transparent tunnel for immersion, it offers a unique look at aquatic life. Focused on marine conservation, the facility features interactive, educational activities. It is an ideal family destination for exploration and learning.
Located just three kilometers from the historic center of Palma, Bellver Castle towers over the city and bay from its 112-meter hilltop perch. This circular fortress is one of only four of its kind globally. Built in 1310 under James II, it functioned as both a royal residence and military prison.
In the heart of the historic center of Palma, the Juan March Foundation stands as a cultural cornerstone. Housed in a striking 17th-century building, it showcases 69 avant-garde works from the late 20th century. Explore paintings by Miró, Dalí, and Saura, alongside sculptures by artists like Eduardo Chillida, complemented by rotating temporary exhibitions.
The rugged coast of Mallorca serves up postcard views, and Caló del Moro is the prime example. Tucked below cliffs near Santanyi, this tiny cove features a stretch of sand under 50 meters long. Surrounded by rock and greenery, these warm, clear waters feel like a natural swimming pool perfect for snorkeling.

The Cathedral of Mallorca is worth a visit during a stay in Palma. I visited it while visiting an uncle who lives there. Well located facing the sea, the area is pleasant. It is very imposing and intricate on the inside. Its Gothic architecture is well crafted, with some modern additions like the interventions by Gaudi inside. The light enters beautifully thanks to the stained glass windows, especially the large rose window.
Huge space where you can of course see fish, but also walk through nicely landscaped parks and grab a meal at a table or on the go. Walking under the shark tank tunnel is actually pretty impressive.
Small, long cove tucked between two rocky headlands. Fine sand, clear warm turquoise water, and plenty of different fish to watch along the rocks with a mask and snorkel. It is almost like a postcard,…
Small, long cove tucked between two rocky headlands. Fine sand, clear warm turquoise water, and plenty of different fish to watch along the rocks with a mask and snorkel. It is almost like a postcard, except that they built a hotel block on one of the rocky headlands, which ruins the scenery. A shame. It is still my favorite beach in Cala d'Or regardless.

This old wooden train goes from Soller to Palma, the capital, crossing the mountains of northern Mallorca. You pass through 13 tunnels, including one that is several hundred meters long and nice and cool. Above all, the view of the mountains is spectacular and unique to Mallorca. A must do.

This port town in the northeast of Mallorca is known for boat trips heading toward the Formentor peninsula. In our case, we took a catamaran that sails past the Formentor lighthouse and makes a stop in open water for swimming or paddleboarding. We had an hour to swim at Formentor Beach, a sandy bay surrounded by pine trees. The scenery of these tree-covered cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean is nice to see.

This is an imposing and majestic monument that reminds us that Mallorca is not just a beach resort but also a place steeped in history. Gothic in inspiration from the start, the construction lasted several centuries! Seeing it from the harbor and getting closer to see the details of its architecture is very impressive. There is an entrance fee. It is fairly understated, except for the myriad of multicolored stained glass windows!

Ancient castle overlooking the city and its bay. It is accessible by car or on foot via a staircase that climbs up from the harbor. If you choose the stairs, it is a bit long but still doable! The castle is surrounded by a park and a small grove. The interior is fairly basic. There is a patio surrounded by arches, which has its charm. The most interesting part is the sweeping view toward Palma and the Mediterranean. I would stick to a free visit on Sunday. I would not necessarily pay to go inside.

Very beautiful little sandy cove accessible after a short walk on steep paths (not recommended for strollers or people with limited mobility). Come early in the morning, otherwise you won't even have a spot to put your towel. Swimming is super pleasant in the turquoise waters. There is a sort of cave carved out by the waves that you can check out by swimming a few dozen yards out.
