Palma is the capital of the Balearic Islands and one of the most liveable cities in the Mediterranean. It combines the services of a regional capital with a compact, walkable centre, the sea a few minutes away and sunshine for most of the year. For a relocated professional, everyday life is easy: hospitals, international schools, coworking spaces, markets such as Santa Catalina and l’Olivar, and a busy cultural agenda around the Cathedral, the Passeig del Born and the seafront.

The city has two rhythms. From May to October it is lively and international, with the port full of yachts and flights from all over Europe; in autumn and winter it becomes calmer and more local, while offices, the university and the hospitals keep working all year.

For a work stay, the key is to choose an area that fits your commute and your season. Serviced apartments in Palma de Mallorca give your employees a real home for weeks or months, with a kitchen, Wi-Fi and space to rest, instead of a hotel room.

Palma has over 420,000 inhabitants, almost half of Mallorca’s population, which makes it the largest city in the Balearic Islands. It is also a very international city, with a large community of residents from other European countries and Latin America. On top of residents, the island receives millions of visitors every year, mostly between May and October, which is why availability of accommodation changes so much by season.

Palma has neighbourhoods with a life of their own all year round, just minutes from the centre and the business areas. They are a good choice for employees on long assignments and for professionals relocating with their family.

Santa Catalina

A former fishermen’s quarter next to the Paseo Marítimo, built around its traditional market. Today it is one of the most popular areas in Palma, with restaurants, cafés and shops, and everything within walking distance. Central, lively and well connected by bus to the rest of the city.

El Molinar and Portixol

Seafront neighbourhoods east of the centre, with a long promenade, small beaches and a relaxed atmosphere. Many apartments have sea views, and the cycle path along the bay connects them with the centre in a few minutes. Ideal for long stays and for those who value quiet after work.

Son Espanyolet

A residential neighbourhood of low-rise houses next to Santa Catalina, quiet and with local shops. It offers a more local way of life while staying close to the centre and to the ring road towards the business parks.

The two official languages are Spanish and Catalan, spoken locally in its Mallorcan variety. Spanish is used in everyday life and in business, while Catalan is common in public administration, schools and signage. English and German are widely spoken in tourism, hospitality, the marine sector and international companies, so relocated employees can manage day-to-day life in English, although basic Spanish is very useful.

Palma de Mallorca airport is about 8 km from the city centre and is one of the busiest in Spain, with direct flights to most European cities. A direct airport bus connects it with the centre in around 20–30 minutes.

Within the city, EMT buses cover every neighbourhood, and the metro links the centre with the University of the Balearic Islands and ParcBit. From Plaça d’Espanya, trains run to Inca, sa Pobla and Manacor, and the historic train to Sóller. The port has ferry connections with Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza and Menorca. Palma also has a public bike-sharing system and a cycle path along the seafront.

A car is useful for reaching business parks outside the centre or travelling around the island, but in the centre parking is limited, so choosing a serviced apartment close to the workplace is the most practical option.
