palma

plain

white

Experiences in Palma vary significantly depending on the visitor. Some travelers describe the locals as friendly, helpful, and accommodating in both retail and food service environments. They note that staff were gracious when assistance was needed and that the atmosphere was generally warm and sociable. Many travelers highlight the high temperatures, especially during the summer months, as a defining feature of the climate in Palma, with visits in June noted for especially hot weather.

However, others report negative experiences, particularly around racial bias. Non-white visitors have mentioned being treated unfairly—ignored or served last in service lines, and followed around in shops under suspicion of theft. These reports indicate that while some visitors feel welcomed, others have faced discrimination and unwelcoming behavior.

On the visual and architectural side, Palma’s aesthetics are described as underwhelming by some, with residential areas and smaller towns noted as plain or lacking character, outside of central Palma. Overall, while Palma offers warm weather and potential for friendly interactions, the variability in how guests are treated and the sometimes unremarkable appearance of its neighborhoods are aspects worth considering when planning a visit.

AI-generated summary of reviews
2 years ago

I’m African American. Was in Mallorca for a week on a trip. I found everyone amiable, friendly and, in retail outlets, accommodating. Same with food service. I noticed a lot of black folk in Palma, presumably vacationing there. When I got lost I was graciously helped. It was very hot there—June 2023. Not much on the architecture front. Besides the central part of town, housing was rather plain and even ugly. Some of the small towns I visited were also rather plain.

Pretty racist to those that arent white, you feel unwelcome, locals stare at you like your alien, you get served last even when your 1st in line, you get ignored and when you walk into a shop you get followed around because the workers think your going to steal something. However for white people im sure Palma is great.

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
