Playa de Palma is a superb 6km beach just east of Palma de Mallorca and a minutes from the island's international airport. To its west is the beach of Can Pastilla and to the east is the small resort of Arenal. Strictly speaking the Playa de Palma stretches from 'balneario' number 1 at the entrance to Arenal as far as 'balneario' number 15 which marks the beginning of the resort of Can Pastilla. Most visitors refer to the whole beach as the Playa de Palma and there's a long promenade stretching its whole length.

The great majority of visitors to Playa de Palma are German package tourists which is reflected in the high concentration of German bars and restaurants along the whole length of the seafront. There are a few British bars around but they aren't easy to find. Interestingly as you head west from Can Pastilla the Manchester pub is one of the last bars whilst the Liverpool pub is the first British place as you enter Arenal at the opposite side of side of Playa de Palma. There's also a small selection of Dutch bars between 'balneario' number 2 and 3.
