Just a few hundred metres from the bustling and late-night resort of Magaluf lies the much quieter resort and beach of Palmanova (sometimes spelled Palma Nova). Visitors will be impressed by the beautifully landscaped wide sandy beach, the quieter environment with its many parks, and the wide range of sporting activities on both sea and land.
