- In this video, find out if Palmanova in Mallorca is going upmarket.
With the new premium sun-bed service being rolled out on beaches throughout the Calvia municipality, check out this and other BIG changes in Palmanova.
I also bring you an update on the building works taking place at the building site behind the Cas Saboners Aparthotel and we take a walk to Son Matias Beach, highlighting some cheap eats and out-of-the-way equipment hire.
Exploring Son Matias Beach, we see how busy it is, then moving onto Palmanova Beach.
I talked to a family who are staying at the Rosa del Mar about their impressions of Palmanova and whether they feel welcome in the resort following press reports claiming tourists are no longer welcome.
I speak to the beach rental manager to find out what’s going on to beach services, before heading to look at the developments at the Hotel Tropico.
We then walk around the point to check out the Britannia Jet departure times, before walking to Es Carregardor beach.
But in big news, find out which bar has closed forever on the Palmanova waterfront.

My family and I are staying at the cas saboners, we can see the cranes as our room is facing that way, all rooms face to pool. The noise is hardly anything, we heard a few bangs and see the cranes move occasionally but that's it. Doesn't bother us at all. We go home Wednesday and its not been a problem one bit.
Our daughter and family, grandchildren are in casaboners hotel right now and they are having a fantastic time, hotel amazing, pool amazing, beach amazing, weather amazing no noise or problems at all. Holidays are what you make it,
Absolutely BRILLANT - fantastic to hear! Thanks for leaving this comment!
we stayed there in 2022, such a great hotel for familes
I arrive june 11th to sol lunamar
Were just back from Palmanova. We stayed in the CasSaboneers and it was great. I was worried before going about the new works and site noise but we never heard a thing. The hotel had music playing beside the pool and the place was lovely... so good I've just booked to go back again next Mey. Your videos are great and a real pleasure to watch
Just been reading about the tragedy in Palama de Mallorca regarding the restaurant collapse. We send our condolences to all affected and hope you and yours are safe ...
Great video Alex. Palmanova looks wonderful. Have a lovely weekend
You too John!
Palmanova looks busy can’t wait to come in July
Amazing video we can all really tell you put lots of work into it so huge well done
That's so much - I really appreciate your comment.
Rather you than me I made that mistake last year. Never again.
Enjoying the weather here in Palmanova..would say to any ladies coming over to make sure you have the clothing you'll need....i got flip flops in the U.k. that are £10 more expensive here. .I also brought over short sleeve m&s t shirts which are too thick to wear!! It's blistering hot...forget the batwings and go sleeveless!
Supermarket food,eating out and drink have really increased since we were here 3 yrs ago..
We've managed well with hire car and used our blue badge in their disabled spaces fine...
Folk as wonderful as ever....especially in the Aquasol..
Thanks Alex for your videos which were very helpful before we came.x
Excellent video as always. Palmanova looks fab.
Really surprised that Canblanc has closed, it has always looked busy. Thanks for this look at the most asked questions. Palma Nova is blessed with so much beach space.
Always great information. Thanks Alex.
This was such a sunny video that makes me really want to be over there enjoying that white powdey sand, aqua sea and sunshine. Its looking fabulous and as always you gave some brilliant information for visitors. Loved the interview and its brilliant that people are visiting from many different countries.
Absolutely love Palma nova. My first holiday was on son matias beach before the internet. Couldn't afford a hotel room :)
Thanks for this 👍👍
Which would be the least crowded beach in summertime in Palma de Mallorca?
Any beach first thing in the morning.
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun great, thank you!!!

Staying at Fergus Style for a week at the end of June. Any update on the beach bar restaurant would be great :) Love your videos BTW
CAN BLANC still taking bookings on their website for this location @mallorcaunderthesun
My family and I stayed in Playa cas saboners for 1 week on the 12th May 2024 we had a great holiday. You can hear slight noise from the bedroom during the day but this didnt disturb my childrens naps other than that it was fine didnt affect our holiday. I was more worried about dust as my daughter has asthma but hotel very clean and no issues with this at all.
Just moved to El Toro, great view of the beach from my apartment. Noticeably busier today. Western water park not busy today. Really appreciate the Mallorca videos.
Good to see that they’re trying to improve the offering in Palma Nova……perhaps they should also ban vest-tops and socks & sandals!!😆
lol!
What made you move to Majorca/Mallorca 19 years ago ? and can i just say i think you're such a lovely genuine 💯 lady 🤗😊👍

Will be there next Sunday Alex. Kathryn and me watch all your videos
Been all over the Spanish islands many times they are unbeatable value but unfortunately like everything else today the add ons sunbeds food booze etc have gone sky high I moved to Andalusia in 2018 and the price of everything has doubled and more Spain is not cheap anymore in anyway shape or form good video 👍👍🏴🦊
Always in palma nova .We stay in ponent mar. We are from Dinamarca. Have been here the last 20 years
Wonderful! Enjoy!
The last time we stayed it was the first week in October, the hotel staff said it was best to come over in May as the staff are tired and grumpy by the end of the season 🤣 Q. What's a Bali bed?
Hi Bali bed is an oversized Sun lounger with maybe a top on it
@@teresatuite7081 Thanks! Like a cabana.
Ha yes!! I would agree with that!
Are the toilet services up to scratch?
Love it alex my favourite place
I see the work to fill the whole in the road has been completed
Also nice to see natural clouds rather than the vapour cloud seeding ttails that are often in our skies now
Hi ya we r going to Magaluf on the 31st of May that's next Friday I just want to know is it going to be really busy then thanks from Cheryl
Not sure this year, but it's getting busier... been out today and the island is busy busy!
Me and my husband are coming over to Palma Nova in June. We are from Sweden
We are in palma noba in june, sunbeds too expensive, we will just chuck a towel down if needs be. Ir buy a couple chair _,sunbeds and a sun brolly . No point spending all those euros each day, its a RIP OFF.
I've been watching your videos for the past couple of months as myself and my family are visiting PalmaNova in a few weeks, staying at Fergus Club Palmanova Park. Don't suppose you have any videos around that area?
Hi Alex will be over on the 4th of June at the lunamar hope to see you 😊 save some of that 🌞 for us ❤
Plenty more sun to come!
X
Awesome as usual ! But....we know the beaches...Can u do a tour of the bars, restuarants, Papis, Munroes, McDonalds, etc....
When will you be at the Olive Tree, Alex? We have reservation for 14.00 Sunday. Be nice to say hi! Been watching you for years! Peter and Liz
Alex what is the Britainnia Jet you btiefly show at 19:40. Is it a people ferry to places or sonething else?
Thought they didn't want too many more visitors so why build more hotels?
Not sure when you filmed this but good afternoon to you 😊
A couple days ago...
Coming 2nd june staying son matis, hope we see u Alex xx
Great!! I'm sure you will!
Omg can blanc not opening !!!!!! Its an amazing place to eat and drink with beautiful biews, the food is mouthwatering. Whsts happened
Do the hotels in Palma Nova have the drinks restrictions on the all inclusive?
No! Just Magaluf
Can you help me. Is there anywhere in Palmanova to have a bet on the horse racing? Thanks
Good question. There will be - I'll see if I can point it out next time I'm down there.
Are pathways going to be added to the beach for disabled?
Just got back yesterday from Palmanova . . Would go back tomorrow , however . . The Grillhouse ! Avoid . Just so bad .
Area is best of Mallorca
Hei. Will you visit Fergus Waterpark? BR
Hey! I have emailed Fergus a few times and no reply
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun not professional from them 😳
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun looks like there are embarassed that hotel is not ready. Beacuse first opinions are terrible. Maybe locals could tell you something more about this hotel, or if you around step in please, for a breakfast👍
Been going to Son Matias for over 35 years, and these sun bed beach prices are too high, it’s ok if they are taken away stacked up and disinfected each day. But they don’t, for 19-50€ that should be done.
The food in the Rosa del Mar was terrible, although going there as Fully Inclusive we went out to eat, it was that bad....
how is Arenal these days?
Busy
Alex, we hear locals have been demonstrating today against tourists 😮 should we be worried? What is your take on this?
I was there ! Just editing a quick video
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun thanks alot 👍
my dream woman
Far from a 5 star resort, but has pretensions of being so.
Will be going elsewhere to actual 5 star resorts, for better value for money.
Really wouldn't advise Palmanova. Sea was full of plastic and rubbish. There was an old German man taking pictures of top less women and children which I reported to police and they did nothing but move him on. Trashy place... We made the most of it but I'd say its the worst holiday we have had by a mile.
Alex..
Can I ask an enormous favour ❤
Next time you're at Palma Airport (you may even have a photo)..
Could you go to the taxi rank and get a snap of the prices by cab to the resorts.
Myself and my wife are heading to Sa Coma.
It's just so we can factor in the cost.
Because last time we were there, we got a coach transfer that never moved from its parking spot for 2 hours, and took 1hr 50 after that to drop us off.
I will also message Andrew (loving life mallorca) too, and see who replies first.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes ❤️
Tom & Alex (Wigan)😊
Great idea! I have a video planned from there, so yes!
Thank you so much Alex 😊
