In this post we're going to tell you 5 interesting things you probably didn't know about Palmanova, the centre of the municipality of Calviá, where the 4-star Reverence MareSuperior Adults Only Hotel is located.
Its origin
Palmanova was founded as a residential complex in 1934, with a project that aimed to build a garden city next to Palma, which is just 14 kilometres away. It was the first residential complex in the municipality of Calviá and one of the first in Mallorca, as well as one of the first tourist areas on the island.
Its beaches
Palmanova has 3 main beaches: Palmanova, Son Maties and Na Nadala. These three beaches are separated by small rocky areas and each of them is approximately 600 metres long. Palmanova beach is the main and largest of the three beaches, while Son Maties and Na Nadala beaches are slightly smaller. The 3 beaches are popular with tourists due to their crystal clear waters and fine golden sand.

Although he is a native of another Mallorcan town, Manacor, his debut in an ATP tournament took place in Palmanova, in the 2002 Mallorca Tournament, when he was only 15 years old. Nadal received an invitation to the tournament and defeated Paraguay's Ramon Delgado in the first round 6-4, 6-4. He then lost in the second round to Belgian player Olivier Rochus.
