Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Pool days are where Zafiro Palmanova really shines.
You’ll find three outdoor freshwater pools, including a main lagoon-style pool with plenty of sunbeds and parasols, plus a more chilled area with Balinese beds for grown-ups to unwind. There’s also an indoor heated pool with whirlpool for cooler days (heated 01 Oct–31 May, open seasonally).
Centre stage is the splash park with pirate ship, slides, tipping bucket and sprinklers – a huge hit with younger children and tweens. Towels are available with a refundable deposit.
The sandy beach of Palma Nova is just around 200m away, sloping gently into shallow water that’s ideal for families. A seafront promenade links all three beaches and runs all the way to Magalluf.
