Overview
Smaller in size but seriously special, Zafiro Palace Palmanova is the best-beach-located of the Zafiro Palace bunch — our go-to brand of Balearic boltholes for families — making it perfect for an effortless sea-and-sightseeing break
Just a five-minute wander from a dreamy sandy beach and a 20-minute car-hop from Palma’s buzzing old town, this chic, all-suite stay hits the sweet spot between laid-back island living and elevated, family-friendly luxury
With a more intimate vibe than its northern sister hotel, it’s a favourite for parents craving a sleek stay with all the trimmings — minus the mega resort feel. Starting the road to relaxation right, the airport is just 20 minutes away, and the fine, flat sands of Palmanova beach are practically on your doorstep
Designed to feel more like a collection of stylish holiday homes than a mega resort, the suites are generous and bright. Expect clever, sanity-saving touches throughout — cloud-soft beds, spacious terraces (to avoid the dreaded nap trap), and options like Swim-Up Suites for all-hours dips. For a next-level upgrade, Zafiro Club Suites offer plenty of perks for parents – like priority restaurant bookings, daily fruit and treats, premium minibars, and a dedicated room-service menu.
Food-wise, there’s a board to suit every appetite — from bed and breakfast to all-in indulgence. The main buffet brings global crowd-pleasers, while the 4 à la carte restaurants (included once per week for guests on a 7-night stay) serve up more refined, grown-up flavours. Poolside snacks, smoothies, and cocktails are all part of the package, and yes, drinks are served without needing to leave your lounger
For little ones, it’s non-stop action. A splash-tastic pirate ship pool, Kids Club for ages 4+, treasure hunts, crafts and games keep them happy, with mini discos and magic shows keeping the fun rolling into the evening. Grown-ups can sneak off to the Oasis Pool or the serene indoor spa, where peace and pampering come as standard
And when you’re ready to explore? The designer boutiques and yacht-filled marina of Puerto Portals are just 10 minutes away, while the palm-lined promenade is perfect for pram-friendly, sleep-inducing strolls
In summary? Zafiro Palace Palmanova is a stress-free spend-savvy escape for families who like their holidays light on logistics and big on entertainment

An all inclusive resort isn't our usual type of hotel, however, it was perfect for a first holiday avec our toddler! The hotel is located close to the airport which was a bonus for us. A short transfer is a total win when your toddler has already been sitting still(ish) on a flight! The local area has a stunning white sandy beach, lots of restaurants and little shops, but it's not the most traditional of towns. We used the hotel as a base and spent time exploring further afield in Palma, Soller and Port de Soller. It was lovely to come back and jump in the pool and we did a couple of full days in the hotel. Rooms were spacious and super clean. No complaints here and I'm a tough customer. Overall I thought it was the perfect hotel for a nice and easy sunny holiday with a toddler
Worth waking the baby for
01
Palma
A compact-in-size yet culturally packed capital, picturesque Palma is just 20 minutes from Zafiro Palace Palmanova and promises everything from an aquarium to tapas bars and shady parks for little legs to recharge. It’s all Gothic cathedrals, colourful markets and charming backstreets begging to be explored. Hop aboard the mini tourist train for an easy way to see the sights
02
Local beaches
Perfectly prepped for family beach days, Palmanova is home to three brilliant bays — Son Maties, Palmanova Beach, and Es Carregador — all just a short stroll from the hotel. Expect calm, shallow waters ideal for paddling, soft golden sand for castle building, and seafront cafés that make leisurely lunches a breeze
03
Serra de Tramuntana
Stretching along the island’s northwest coast, the Serra de Tramuntana mountains offer a big slice of natural beauty. A UNESCO World Heritage Site just over 30 minutes away, it’s where adventure-loving families can swap sandy toes for scenic trails. There are kid-friendly hikes, pine-scented picnic spots and Insta-worthy viewpoints aplenty. For something gentler, drive the winding roads through picture-perfect villages like Valldemossa or Sóller, where authentic snap stops and postcard views go hand in hand
