Palma Nova
Palma Nova has three beaches which start at the headland of Torrenova, the first beach is called Son Matias Playa.

At the base of the headland we had lunch at the Blue Bar which apart from the food gives good views across the bay


The beach is a golden sand beach which has chair beds and parasols which cost 10.80 euro’s a day (3.60 euro’s for each component).

In October these parasols act more like large sundials and to keep in the shade one moves around
vast areas of the beach .

There are also open areas for those that do not require the parasols and beds.


Although there 18 hotels on the headland the Hotel Hawaii’s position dominants and overlooks the bay from the headland.

Further along the beach the Sol Matias beach and the Santa Lucia hotels can be seen in the photo below

Walking on down to the Santa Lucia its pool area and grounds are built on a small peninsula that divides the beaches

The road goes around from the Santa Lucia and you get these concrete footballs to fall over. These balls are all over the Magaluf strip and I am sure the local doctors are happy.


At this point the main road becomes closer to the beach which becomes the Palma Nova Playa




The second beach has a very small peninsula with a McDonalds on it before opening up again to a third beach which is still called PalmaNova Playa and finally ends at a small marina



Finally we found a small alley way beyond the marina to go down and take a photo Ponent Mar end

In the evening that were remaining not at the meets we had a quiet drink at Canto bar

Or went to Ruby Tuesday’s to see Rod Stewart tribute act

Mick shaking hands with the performer

This isn’t Hayzer in disguise is it?

Or Freddie Mercury performing on another occasion

The beaches were quite populated on the sunny days but acceptable to us in October I would think crowded in July/Aug time
Finally from our 6th floor room we could see the area was surrounded by mountains

And what better way to end this review with a sunset
