FAQs

How far is Can Pastilla from Palma Airport?

Just 5km – you'll be at your hotel in 10-15 minutes. We can sort your transfers when you book.

Is Can Pastilla good for families?

Brilliant. Shallow calm waters, Palma Aquarium on your doorstep, and Aqualand a short drive away.

Can you walk from Can Pastilla to Arenal?

Yes! The flat promenade is about 6km – lovely for a stroll or even easier on a bike.

What's the nightlife like?

Relaxed and family-friendly – beachfront bars and late-night tapas. For livelier nights, Palma and Magaluf are both a quick taxi away.

When's the best time to visit?

June to September for beach weather, or May/October for fewer crowds and still-lovely temperatures.

Is Can Pastilla the same as Playa de Palma?

They're neighbours on the same long stretch of beach but separate resorts. Can Pastilla is at the western end (closer to Palma and the airport) and has a quieter, more village-y feel. Playa de Palma stretches east towards El Arenal and is bigger with more beach bars and a livelier atmosphere. You can walk or cycle between them on the flat promenade.

Do you need a hire car?

Not at all. Can Pastilla is one of the best-connected resorts in Majorca. Buses to Palma run every 15 minutes, the promenade connects you to El Arenal on foot or by bike, and everything in the resort is walkable. A hire car is handy if you want to explore the island's mountains and villages, but it's definitely not essential.

What's the food like?

Proper good. The beachfront has chiringuitos and tapas bars, and the backstreets have some great local restaurants. Look for Menu del Dia deals at lunchtime - most places offer three courses with a drink for around €10-15, which is hard to beat. For something special, Palma's Santa Catalina neighbourhood is a quick bus ride away and has become Majorca's foodie hotspot.
