Mallorca has beautiful beaches; long unspoilt beaches in the north such as the bay of Alcúdia and the famous beach of Es Trenc in the south. However, the island also has many small bays, some of which are difficult to access or may only be reached on foot. In return, the reward is crystal-clear water, fewer crowds and, with a little luck, sea urchins or small fish. If the ground is rocky, as is the case on the west coast, we recommend you wear aqua shoes. Here you’ll find a selection of beaches that are suitable for families with children, bays for romantics and natural, unspoilt beaches with nudist areas. Mallorca has something for everyone. By the way, you will only find deserted dream beaches on Mallorca in the early and late season or in the evenings at sunset in summer.

The largest town is Manacor, about 20 minutes away and the largest shopping complex in the area is about 10-15 minutes drive away.
Cala s’Almunia
S’Almunia is nine kilometres away from Santanyí. Its name comes from the group formed by Cala es Maquer and this rocky sea inlet. This part of the Santanyí coastline is a jetty carved by the sea and the wind on the rock, whose few smooth sections are used by bathers as solariums.
Platja es Dolç
After a 5-minute walk, heading east from Colònia de Sant Jordi, you’ll find the charming natural beach of Platja d’es Dolç. Located in a nature reserve, it offers a landscape of wooded dunes, crystal clear waters and wonderful views of the sea, the distant fishing port and marina of Colònia de Sant Jordi..
Palmanova – Cala Blanca
Platja de Palmanova, or Cala Blanca, is located between Punta Nadala and es Carregador. This sandy area forms part of the set of three beaches: Palmanova, Son Maties and es Carregador, which groups together the Palmanova urbanisation. It is half a kilometre long and, with its fine white sand and calm waters, it’s ideal for families.
Cala Mesquida
In summer, this beach is very popular due to the easy access from the urbanisation and tends to be very busy, but as you head towards the right hand side of the beach, you’ll find fewer people.
Playa de Muro – Casetes des Capellans
Es Capellans, Caseta or Casetes des Capellans is two kilometres from the centre of Can Picafort and 10.2 kilometres from Muro. This sandy area, almost half a kilometre long, is the continuation of Platja de Can Picafort (Santa Margalida) and the beginning of Platja de Muro.
Port de Pollença
Due to the wide range of facilities nearby, this beach is very popular with families, with some of the services available being the rental of sun loungers and tiki umbrellas, showers, toilets and changing rooms. The deep blue-green water is usually fairly calm, although the northerly winds can make it choppy, which attracts some fun-seeking surfers.
Son Serra de Marina
This is a very popular beach among locals and is, for many, the best beach in Mallorca. Practically unspoilt, it alternates sandy areas with rocks and has a protected dune system at the back.
