Hotel Flamingo

The glorious white sands of the Playa de Palma are just 10 or 15 minutes from the airport in Mallorca, and the area is jam packed with restaurants, shops and every imaginable attraction for tourists. It's lively and buzzing, and it's gradually getting a makeover to replace the ugly architecture from the first tourist boom.

More or less midway between Ca'n Pastilla and Arenal, the four star Flamingo Hotel has a great front line beach location with excellent sea views across the turquoise waters of the great bay of Palma.
