When should I book Palma packages from London?

November recently showed floors from about £119 per adult. Compare live Palma packages and check Stansted vs Luton for the same nights.

No. UK passport holders can enter Spain without a visa for stays up to 90 days. Check current ETIAS pre-travel authorisation requirements before flying.

Yes — Palma is a relatively low-crime city. Usual precautions around bags and pickpockets apply in busy tourist areas and on public transport.

What currency is used?

Euro (€). Cards are widely accepted; a fee-free travel card gets you the best exchange rates.

How many days do you need?

A long weekend (3–4 nights) covers the old town and a beach day comfortably; a week lets you explore the rest of the island too.

What airport do flights use?

Palma de Mallorca Airport, about 8km from the centre — budget routes from London fly direct from Stansted and Luton.

Best valuePeak / expensiveLow season

Recent package floors favoured November (from about £119), then December. October still works if you want warmer sea; July–August are peak for both price and crowds. Prefer Stansted coverage in our current scrape — Luton samples can look thin.

Getting there

Palma de Mallorca Airport sits about 8km from the centre. The EMT bus line A1 runs roughly every 15 minutes into Plaça d'Espanya for around €5, taking 20–25 minutes; taxis cost roughly £20–25.

Ryanair, easyJet and Jet2 all fly direct from Stansted and Luton with flight times around 2h20. Outside school holidays, fares are usually very reasonable when booked a few months ahead.

What to see & do

La Seu Cathedral

The Gothic cathedral towering over the old port is the city's icon — go inside for the Gaudí-restored interior and the famous rose window, then walk the seafront promenade beneath it at sunset.

Old Town (Casc Antic)

A maze of narrow lanes between the cathedral and Plaça Major, dotted with courtyards, small galleries, and unhurried café terraces — best explored slowly in the cooler morning hours.

Es Baluard Museum

A modern and contemporary art museum built into the old city walls, with a rooftop terrace looking out over the bay — one of the better-value cultural stops in the city.

Platja de Palma

The big city beach a short bus ride east of the centre — wide sand, calm water, and plenty of low-key beach bars away from the old town's tourist crush.
