Virgin Coves and Charming Corners in Mallorca
If you are looking to escape the crowds and connect with pure nature, the island treasures gems of inestimable value. Mallorca stands out for its beaches formed at the mouths of torrents, creating landscapes that are unique in the world.
Llevant and the authenticity of the south
In the southern and eastern (Llevant) areas, you will find some of the most sought-after beaches due to their fine white sand:
- Es Trenc (Campos): Probably the most iconic beach on the island, famous for its Caribbean appearance and naturist tradition.
- Cala Agulla and Cala Mesquida: Protected enclaves surrounded by dunes and pine forests in Capdepera.
- Cala Varques and Cala Llombards: Dreamy spots with turquoise waters, ideal for those seeking tranquillity.
- Cala Mondragó: Located in the heart of a Natural Park, it combines biodiversity with unparalleled coastal beauty.
Treasures of the Serra de Tramuntana
In the north and west, the landscape becomes more rugged and spectacular:
- Sa Calobra: A natural monument where the Torrent de Pareis embraces the sea. It is one of the most popular spots due to its geological grandeur.
- Cala Deià and Cala Banyalbufar: Small rocky coves with cool waters that reflect the essence of the Mallorcan mountains.
- Formentor Beach: Famous for its views and pine grove, from where Menorca can be spotted on clear days.
Family-Friendly Beaches with Services: Comfort and Fun
For those travelling as a family or looking for full facilities (sunbeds, umbrellas, and beach bars), areas such as Alcúdia, Palma, or Calvià offer top-tier infrastructure.
- Playa de Muro and Alcúdia Beach: Awarded for their safety and quality, they are ideal for children thanks to their shallow waters and fine sand.
- Cala Millor and Cala d’Or: Tourist centres with a complete range of leisure, dining, and nautical activities.
- Playa de Palma: The best-connected and well-maintained area, ideal for combining relaxation with proximity to the city centre.
Accessibility and Safety on our Coastline
At the Mallorca Tourism Foundation, we promote inclusive tourism. For this reason, beaches such as Can Pere Antoni or Platja de Son Maties feature ramps for people with reduced mobility and adapted amphibious chairs.
Remember: Always check the flag colour before swimming: Green (safe), Yellow (caution), or Red (prohibited).
Unique Experiences: Sport, Naturism, and Sustainability
Mallorca adapts to every lifestyle:
- Water Sports: When the north wind blows, the beaches of Alcúdia and Can Picafort become the epicentre for windsurfing and surfing.
- Naturist Tradition: In addition to Es Trenc, El Mago Beach (Portals Vells) is a historic spot for practising nudism in a discreet and beautiful setting.
