Private Transfer

Most recommended

A private transfer is the most comfortable and hassle-free way to get between Palma city centre and the airport. A professional driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name and takes you directly to your hotel or address — no meter, no night surcharges, luggage included. Particularly valuable for late-night arrivals, families with children or when your accommodation is not close to a bus stop.

Up to 20 passengers

Flight tracking included
24h service, every day
Child seats on request

Official Taxi

Taxis are available outside the terminal, but the final fare depends on the meter plus the airport departure surcharge and possible night or holiday supplements. In high season, long taxi queues at the airport can mean a significant wait before you even start the journey.

€15 - €30+ by meter
15-25 min journey time
Worth knowing: the airport surcharge and night supplements can push the fare up noticeably. For groups of 4, the private transfer (€12/person) often works out the same or cheaper than the taxi — with a guaranteed driver and a locked-in price.

Public Bus TIB (Line 1)

TIB Line 1 runs directly between the airport and Palma city centre, stopping at Plaça d'Espanya and other central points. It is the cheapest option, but requires walking to the bus stop with all your luggage, waiting for the next service and arriving at a fixed point from which you may still need onward transport to your hotel.

~€2 - €3 per person
30-40 min to city centre
Worth knowing: night services are very limited or non-existent. Not practical with heavy luggage, young children or if your hotel is not near a bus stop. For a group of 4, the private transfer (€12/person) delivers you door-to-door for a price comparable to two taxi fares.

Shared Shuttle

Some shared shuttle services operate between the airport and hotels in Palma city centre. The per-person price is lower than a private transfer, but the route includes stops at several accommodation properties, which can add considerable time before you reach your destination.

From €6 per person
Variable depending on stops
Worth knowing: from 4 passengers the private transfer (€12/person) is comparable in price but with no stops, no waiting and direct delivery to your hotel. Late-night shuttle services may not operate.
