Following Toronto, Singapore, and numerous other locations, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates declares Palma de Mallorca as its new destination for summer 2026, describing it as the "gateway to the Balearic Islands," which also includes Menorca and Ibiza.
The cosmopolitan island combines Mediterranean charm with a stunning old town, excellent Spanish cuisine, hidden squares, and the option to sail along Mallorca's beautiful turquoise coasts.
