Airport Transportation in Palma
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Palma de Mallorca Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Palma runs from Palma de Mallorca Airport to hotels and apartments in Palma's old town and seafront, the cruise port, and the Bay of Palma resorts from Can Pastilla and Playa de Palma in the east to Illetas, Palmanova and Magaluf in the west.
Palma Airport Transfers
Our Palma airport transfers start in the arrivals hall of the main terminal building, where your driver waits with a sign showing your name once you have cleared passport control and collected your bags. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, even on the busiest summer days.
Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Palma airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa in Palma or around the Bay of Palma, or to your ship at the cruise port. Taking a ferry on to Ibiza, Menorca or the mainland? We drive you to the port; give us your sailing time when you book. Going on to Alcúdia, Pollença, Port de Sóller or the east coast resorts? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Palma Airport Shuttle
Our Palma airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your hotel, villa or the port, with no stops at other resorts around the bay. There is room for suitcases, strollers, beach gear and golf bags, so it suits families and groups staying in Palma or on the bay.
Landing at Palma Airport
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), also called Son Sant Joan, is the airport for Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. It sits next to Can Pastilla, east of Palma on the Bay of Palma, and shares its runways with an air force base. Aena runs it, and it is one of Spain's busiest airports, with most passengers arriving in summer.
All flights use one terminal building with four color-coded boarding modules: A (blue), mainly for flights from outside the Schengen area, including the UK and Ireland; B (green), for Air Nostrum regional flights; C (orange), mainly for European flights; and D (purple), for Schengen flights. Flights from Germany and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; if you come from outside the Schengen area, you arrive at Module A and queue at passport control, and queues can be long on busy summer days.
From your module, follow the signs to baggage claim and the arrivals hall in the main building; the walk from the farther gates can be long. Pre-booked drivers meet passengers in the arrivals hall. Spain is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October.
Schengen entry
Spain is in the Schengen area. Arrivals from outside it, including the UK, go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Long walks
Gates in the outer modules can be a long walk from the main building, so allow extra time between landing and meeting your driver.
Summer peak
In July and August demand for rides is at its peak, so book your transfer before you fly.
Ferries
Ferries to Ibiza, Menorca and the Spanish mainland leave from the port of Palma. Give us your sailing time when you book, so your drop-off fits it.
Euro and cash
Spain uses the euro; carry some cash for small purchases.
