Living here

Nou Llevant, long known as the Polígon de Llevant, is a barri on the eastern side of Palma, about 2 km from the cathedral and a short walk from the sea. Built up from the 1970s and now changing fast with new apartment blocks, parks and the Palau de Congressos, it is a good fit for a modern city flat with the beach and the airport close by.

Nou Llevant is a grid of wide streets in Palma’s Llevant district, boxed in by Carrer de Manacor to the north, Carrer de Manuel Azaña to the west, the Ma-19 motorway to the south and the Via de Cintura (Ma-20) to the east. Most of it went up from the 1970s, when workers from mainland Spain moved into new blocks of flats. The eastern part stayed largely empty until the Palau de Congressos opened on the seafront edge in 2017. The first new luxury blocks followed in 2019, and building was still going on in 2025.

Basic services are close at hand. The public health centre, Emili Darder, is on Carrer de Puerto Rico, with Son Llàtzer as its reference hospital. State schools in the barri include the primary schools CEIP Pintor Joan Miró and CEIP Camilo José Cela and the secondary schools IES Antoni Maura and IES Francesc de Borja Moll. There is a supermarket on Avinguda de Mèxic and the small municipal Mercat de Llevant on the western edge, while the large Pere Garau food market is 15 to 20 minutes away on foot. Street-level shops and cafés are scarcer than in older barris, because the area was planned as mainly residential.

There is a fair amount of green space. Parc Krekovic, opened in 1990 and named after the Croatian painter Kristian Kreković, covers about four hectares behind a wall with four gates, and newer parks such as Can Palou and Son Pedrals sit among the recent blocks. The Ma-19 cuts the barri off from the shore, but Can Pere Antoni, the sandy beach closest to the city centre, is about 15 minutes' walk away, and the small beach and harbour at Portixol are about the same distance. Can Pere Antoni fills up with local swimmers in summer.

It is above all a residential neighbourhood. The Palau de Congressos brings conference visitors, but holiday lets in flats are banned across Palma. Old and new contrast sharply: new towers with private gardens, pools and security face the sea, while some older public housing blocks are run down. Across the Via de Cintura, Son Malferit is mostly commercial and industrial, with big-box stores, a football ground, a gas-fired power station and a former cement works. Just to the west, the protected Gesa building, empty for about 15 years, is due to become a public library and arts centre by the end of 2029 if works keep to schedule.

Who buys here

Two groups live side by side and, according to a 2025 local press report, rarely mix. Long-standing residents are mostly working families and pensioners, many from families who came from mainland Spain from the 1970s onwards, along with tenants of subsidised housing. The newcomers in the new blocks include many foreign buyers with large budgets. Typical buyers want a new flat with a communal pool, within easy reach of the centre, the airport and the beach.

Property

The stock falls into two parts. The western and northern streets, around Parc Krekovic and Carrer de Manuel Azaña, are lined with blocks of flats from the 1970s onwards, some high-rise (one on Avinguda de Mèxic has 13 storeys) and a few in poor repair. The new blocks, finished since 2019 or still going up, are mostly on the once-empty eastern side towards the Via de Cintura, with a few among the older streets: large developments of apartments and penthouses with communal gardens and pools, many facing the sea. Houses are rare. Building continued in 2025, so check what is planned next to any flat you consider.

Questions buyers ask

Is Nou Llevant the same as the Polígon de Llevant?

Yes. Nou Llevant is the newer name for the Polígon de Llevant (Polígono de Levante in Castilian), a barri in Palma’s Llevant district between Carrer de Manacor, Carrer de Manuel Azaña and the Ma-19 and Ma-20 motorways. Official lists of barris and older maps still use the old name.

How far is Nou Llevant from the beach?

Can Pere Antoni, the sandy beach closest to Palma’s centre, is about 1 km from the middle of the barri, roughly 15 minutes on foot across the Ma-19. The small beach at Portixol is about the same distance, and El Molinar is a little further east.

Is there still building work going on?

Yes. New blocks were still going up in 2025, and the council’s redevelopment of the Gesa building and its seafront just to the west is due to finish by the end of 2029 if works stay on schedule. Expect cranes and lorries nearby for some years.

Is Nou Llevant a good choice for families?

It has state primary and secondary schools, a public health centre and several parks within the barri. There is no international school in the barri: several are on the western side of Palma and in Calvià, and one is in Marratxí, so families using them should expect a school run by car.
