The airport is 12 km from Palma de Mallorca city centre and is served by public buses and long-distance connections to the resorts.
Car rental
If you want to make the most of your time exploring the island, a rental car is the most convenient means. All car rental companies operating in Mallorca are located right at the airport and everything is very clearly signposted from the arrivals hall. The car rental centre is located about 50 metres from the terminal.
Rental prices vary greatly according to the season. While in winter you pay from 15 eur per day, in the summer holidays prices go up to 55 eur per day.
Bus to Palma and S'Arenal
Transport to the nearest towns is provided by EMT. The bus stop at the airport is about 50 metres from the arrivals hall, all clearly signposted. On the way to the airport, buses stop at the departure hall on the upper floor.

In addition to the above-mentioned Palma public transport lines from the airport, there are also direct intercity buses to the resorts operated by tib: www.tib.org.

The cheapest way to buy a ticket is to pay by card on the bus. Up to 5 people can travel on one payment, with the more people travelling, the cheaper the fare will be in the end. Prices are broken down by zone (distance), the cheapest one-way ticket for 1 person costs 5,40 eur, the most expensive 8,10 eur. Details can be found in the "timetable" section for each line, see links above.
Taxi
Taxi prices are fixed, the meter must always be on. However, problems with scams on tourists are quite rare in Mallorca. In all official taxis you can pay by card.
- Starting rate: 3 eur (at night and weekends 4 eur)
- Price per km: 0,93 eur (at night and at weekends 1,10 eur)
- Added charge for driving to/from the airport: 4,40 eur
Uber and Bolt services do not work in Mallorca.
I would like to ask for information about bus routes from the airport, specifically the A32 to Can Picafort.
Is it possible to find out what time of the evening this line operates in the summer? This information is not currently on the TIB website as it is said to be a seasonal service which is not running at the moment.
Yes, they have a link to the timetable from previous seasons on their website, so you can probably deduce at least approximate times from that.
Last year, the last A32 bus left the airport at 0:05.
