Overview

 
Set right on Palma Nova’s golden sands, Son Matias Beach is an adults-only favourite with sweeping sea views from almost every angle. This compact 4-star hotel blends friendly, old-school service with modern, bright interiors, a saltwater pool and toe-in-the-sand access to the promenade. With the resort centre just a short stroll away and Magalluf within easy walking distance, it’s a brilliant base if you want low-key days and livelier nights on tap.

From sunrise coffees on your balcony to sunset drinks by the saltwater pool, Son Matias Beach makes the most of its prime position on Palma Nova’s horseshoe bay. Expect no children, friendly staff who remember returning guests by name, and an easy-going atmosphere where the biggest decision of the day is whether to head for the beach, the promenade or the pool terrace whirlpool. For couples seeking the Balearics’ classic beach holiday feel without giving up comfort, Son Matias Beach delivers the perfect balance: adults-only calm, a seafront setting and gentle entertainment that never overwhelms. It’s around 1 hour from Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI). See more Balearics holidays.

Map & location


Palma Nova, Majorca, Balearics, Spain

Son Matias Beach enjoys one of Palma Nova’s plum positions, fronting the gently shelving sandy beach with just the promenade between you and the sea. Step out and you’re moments from cafés, bars and restaurants, while the compact resort centre is only about 100m away. Walk along the seafront and you can be in lively Magalluf within around 10 minutes, giving you the best of both worlds – relaxed by day, high-energy nightlife within easy reach if you want it.

Palma Nova itself is a long-time favourite among UK travellers thanks to its trio of Blue Flag beaches, shallow waters and friendly, easy-going vibe. It’s an excellent base for exploring the rest of south-west Majorca, including Palma’s old town and the dramatic western coastline.

  • Palma Nova resort centre 100m

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The focal point of the outdoor area is the saltwater pool, framed by a spacious sun terrace. A built-in whirlpool adds a touch of spa-style comfort, and you’ll find plenty of sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols for lingering afternoons. Pool towels are complimentary, so there’s no need to pack your own.

Directly in front of the hotel, the sandy bay curves gently around Palma Nova. The beach shelves slowly into shallow, clear water, making it ideal for confident swimmers who prefer calm conditions and for simply wading out to cool off between sunbathing sessions. A long promenade runs behind the sand, perfect for morning walks or an evening stroll to Magalluf.
