A Calm Urban Beach with Historical Backdrop
Ciutat Jardí sits just outside Palma’s centre, offering a family-friendly beach with soft sand, gentle waves, and excellent swimming conditions for children. Flanked by breakwaters and overlooked by Fortí Torre d’en Pau (built in 1898), this beach blends coastal leisure with historical character. It’s named after an early 20th-century development vision and retains a nostalgic charm, still home to the neo-Arab Hotel Ciudad Jardín, operating since 1922.
A Popular Choice for Families & Cyclists
Thanks to its easy accessibility, free nearby parking, and calm, shallow waters, Ciutat Jardí is a favourite with locals and tourists alike. The surrounding promenade and dedicated cycling lanes make it a convenient beach for visitors arriving by foot or bike. Though the beach often gets crowded, especially in summer, the vibe remains relaxed and welcoming.
Anchoring & Nearby Marina
Boaters can anchor off the beach, though care should be taken due to shallow depths close to the coast. The nearest port facilities are found at Club Nàutic Cala Gamba, located just 0.6 nautical miles away. For a quieter break near the city, Ciutat Jardí offers a refreshing mix of sun, sea, and historical ambiance.
