The Mar Suites Residence 3
Perks for the Parents
This light and beautiful home in the heart of Palma’s old town is steps from cozy cafés, art galleries and playgrounds, with the port a 5-minute’ walk away. The location makes a stay with kids easy. Set up as a 1-bedroom unit, the double sofa bed in the lounge and crib on request makes it possible to accommodate a family of 4 plus a baby. The building is on one of the widest streets in Old Town, with views over the Almudaina Royal Palace and the Cathedral. Designed and decorated with love and care, the owners plan for you to have an unforgettable stay in Palma and can help with anything you need. Babysitting can be arranged on request.
Why Kids Love it
The residence is suitable for kids under 12. On request, all manner of baby care items can be provided, from a cozy travel crib with linens to a high chair, baby bath, toys and books. The location is great for kids, a short stroll from the port, where they can admire books, and around 20 minutes’ walk from the nearest beach on a route taking in a large park. Shops and restaurants are an easy walk away; buses head out of town to the long sandy beach at Playa de Palma and to the coves at Illetes or Puerto Portals. Renting a bike to ride along the promenade is a great way to enjoy the views and sea air. There are 2 playgrounds and a lake with swans nearby.

Accommodation Details
This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is in an old town building with 4 units in total, all with an elevator. This unit is on the third floor and has a little balcony with views of the royal palace. It includes a main open plan living space with kitchen, living room, and dining area. The living room includes a comfortable Italian-designed sofa bed (160cmx200cm) only for kids under 12 years old. The bathroom has a shower. The master bedroom, at the back of the space, has a double bed and storage. The shared lobby/entrance space to the building includes a big map of Palma Old Town, a bench, WiFi and left luggage closets.
Style Notes
Cozy Nordic. Fresh and modern, this light, lovingly-transformed space has a clean modern minimalist style and plenty of pine, gray and white tones. The main living space is uncluttered and offers plenty of space to eat, play and relax. The bedroom and living room have Majorcan shutters to keep the rooms dark at night and prevent any outside noise from disturbing the peace. The location is one of the stand out features - who needs paintings on the wall with perfectly-framed views of the royal palace from the balcony? We love the little reading nook with rocking chair, the compact but very usable kitchen and the white painted beamed ceilings.

Palma, Mallorca
Ancient castles, blue flag beaches and a historic train
Elegant and historic, Palma is the capital of Mallorca and revels in tapas bars, historic streets and fabulous blue flag beaches. The aquarium is a must-see, with 8,000 marine creatures and a range of special kids activities from face painting to turtle feeding and shark sleepovers, while the 14th century Bellver Castle hides tunnels and secret staircases in its buildings surrounded by pine forests. Day trips to Soller, a lovely rural town, are easy on the classic Soller Railway, through countryside and tunnels, and are sure to round off a great family vacation.
