English Cala Estància
A small cove protected by breakwaters next to Can Pastilla and near the yacht club, with several hotels around it.
Can Pastilla is one of the closest resorts to Palma de Mallorca Airport: about 4–5 km and 5–10 minutes by road. Even so, give your exact accommodation, because Cala Estància, central Can Pastilla and the start of Playa de Palma are different stops, and your Zonetransfers driver will finish at the right one.
Updated:
Unlike trips to the north or east of Mallorca, reaching Can Pastilla does not mean crossing the island. The resort lies just west of the airport, on the Bay of Palma.
The key variable is not the distance but where exactly the transfer ends. Hotels near Cala Estància, in central Can Pastilla or at the start of Playa de Palma are in different sectors.
For the return to PMI, book with the hotel's real address too, not a generic reference to the resort.
You can walk this stretch of coast without noticing any boundaries, yet each sector has its own landmarks. For a transfer, the hotel or exact address is far more useful than a broad resort name.
A small cove protected by breakwaters next to Can Pastilla and near the yacht club, with several hotels around it.
Residential streets, hotels, restaurants and a seafront promenade, within the city of Palma and a few kilometres from PMI.
The long hotel strip continues from Can Pastilla towards S'Arenal. A hotel several kilometres along should not be treated as central Can Pastilla.
Hotels here are often marketed as "Playa de Palma" while being close to Can Pastilla, or the other way round. The exact address sets the right end point.
Because the value is not in the kilometres: a car is already waiting when you come out of arrivals, the fare is agreed before you fly and you are dropped at the hotel door with all your luggage, however late you land.
The price for your hotel, passengers and luggage is confirmed at booking, so there is nothing to work out at the kerb.
No dragging suitcases along the promenade: the driver stops at your hotel entrance.
A minivan carries up to eight people with their bags; larger groups travel by minibus.
Being close to PMI does not remove the need to define the destination. These hotels show how accommodation is spread between Cala Estància, inner Can Pastilla and the start of Playa de Palma.
At C/ Pins 26. The hotel puts the airport about 4 km and five minutes away by car, and Cala Estància some 250 metres away.
At Carrer de Miquel Massutí 28, in Can Pastilla, closer to the Cala Estància side than to hotels further along Playa de Palma.
At C/ Manuela de los Herreros 12; the hotel says the airport is about five minutes away by car.
A sheltered beach by Can Pastilla, the clearest reference for hotels on the western side.
On the seafront, a reference for the area between Cala Estància and the centre of Can Pastilla.
The beach runs about six kilometres towards S'Arenal, lined with hotels and services.
On the Playa de Palma corridor very close to Can Pastilla, one of the main attractions in this part of the bay.
Can Pastilla is part of a long coastal promenade that carries on to Playa de Palma, which explains the continuous look of the resorts.
Can Pastilla belongs to Palma but is not in the city centre: booking "Palma de Mallorca" instead would take you somewhere else.
Count back from your departure time: 2 h 15 min for a Spanish or Schengen flight, 2 h 45 min for the UK, Ireland or another non-Schengen country. That is the time Zonetransfers sets for the pick-up in Can Pastilla.
| Destination of your flight | Pick-up time |
|---|---|
| Within Spain or the Schengen zone | 2 h 15 min |
| UK and other non-Schengen countries | 2 h 45 min |
Can Pastilla is so close that the drive hardly counts: the pick-up time is mostly the margin your airline asks for at check-in and security.
About 5 to 10 minutes for some 4–5 km, the shortest of the resort transfers from PMI.
Not exactly. Can Pastilla is at the western start of Playa de Palma, next to Cala Estància; the beach then runs about six kilometres to S'Arenal. Give the hotel name so the driver stops in the right sector.
No. Can Pastilla belongs to the municipality of Palma but lies on the bay next to the airport, about 15 minutes from the old town; book Can Pastilla or your hotel, not "Palma".
Nothing changes: the driver follows your flight, and the 60 minutes of free waiting time start from the actual landing, not the scheduled time.
Yes. Up to eight passengers fit in a minivan; above that, or with a lot of luggage, we arrange a minibus or coach with driver for 9 to 55 people. See minibus and coach hire in Mallorca.
