Mallorca, a refuge in the middle of the Mediterranean, attracts travelers with its idyllic beaches and secret coves. Join us for a look at these idyllic corners the island has to offer.
Cala Figuera: The Charm of Coastal Life
Located in the southeast of Mallorca, Cala Figuera resembles a canvas painted with the essence of coastal life.
Cala Figuera was once a fishing port, so if you visit this beautiful cove, you’ll be able to see some whitewashed houses from that era reflected in the turquoise waters.
If you want to spend a day in this cove, we recommend visiting one of the local restaurants, where they serve delicious fresh fish dishes.
Its crystal-clear waters make it the perfect place for snorkeling.
Playa de Muro: An oasis of fun in the north of the island
The charming Playa de Muro in Mallorca is more than just a beach destination; it’s a collection of experiences that you can choose from. Not only does it offer spectacular scenery with its fine sand and turquoise waters, but it’s also a hub for a variety of activities.
If water sports are your passion, Playa de Muro is the ideal place to practice everything from windsurfing to kitesurfing or paddlesurfing, thanks to its perfect weather and sea conditions.
Gastronomy is another attraction. The restaurants in Playa de Muro offer a culinary selection for all tastes, whether it’s paella on the sand, signature cuisine overlooking the sea, or live music at a beach bar. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this diverse range of flavors if you visit Mallorca.
Cala Millor: A vibrant paradise on the east coast
Cala Millor, which means “the best cove,” lives up to its name with its spectacular beauty.
Located on the east coast, its crystal-clear waters and golden sandy beach are the perfect setting for enjoying the Mediterranean sun. Unlike Cala Figuera, this beach is 1.8 kilometers long and up to 35 meters wide, making it perfect for a beach holiday with family or friends.
Thanks to its large size, it offers a wide range of services, from sun loungers and umbrellas to bars and everything you need for water sports such as diving, windsurfing, kayaking, and surfing. It also has wheelchair access.
If you choose to spend your holidays in this area of Mallorca, you can’t miss visiting the Cuevas del Hams, which are located just 15 minutes by car from Cala Millor.
Cala Agulla: A corner of wild beauty
Cala Agulla, a natural paradise located on the northeast coast of Mallorca, is an idyllic small-scale tourist resort near the picturesque medieval village of Capdepera. The area stands out for its sand dunes, pine trees, and low rocks, encompassed in the Lévant Peninsula Natural Park.
Despite its simplicity, this wide beach surrounded by stunning landscapes offers various water activities and comfortable facilities. Here you can enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants and exciting water activities.
Cala Mitjana: A haven of peace on the island
Cala Mitjana, located on the eastern side of the island, is a small cove of fine, white sand, surrounded by pine trees and cliffs. Despite its difficult access, we consider it one of the must-see coves on your visit to Mallorca. To get there, it’s best to drive to S’Horta, and from there walk along the signposted path that leads to the cove.
Its stunning beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect place to relax and get away from it all. It’s worth noting that there are no restaurants or beach bars in the area, so we recommend bringing water and food from home.
The crystal-clear waters and 5-meter depth make it perfect for diving and exploring Mallorca’s wildlife.
Cala Mesquida: Nature in all its splendor
Cala Mesquida, in the northeast of Mallorca, is a spectacular natural enclave offering one of the best views of the island. With its wide beach, dunes, and numerous birds, it is a true haven for nature lovers. The area has several restaurants and offers water activities such as diving and snorkeling.
Located on the northeast coast of Mallorca, Cala Mesquida is a magnificent sandy beach of 350 meters surrounded by pine trees and dunes. Like Cala Agulla, it is just 7 km from Capdepera.
With its wide beach, dunes, and significant number of birds, it is a true haven for nature lovers. The area has several restaurants and offers water activities such as diving and snorkeling.
Cala Mesquida is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun and the sea.
Sa Calobra: Between mountains and sea
Sa Calobra, on the northwest coast of Mallorca, is a group of two beaches separated by a string of cliffs. On one side is Cala Sa Calobra, a gem of just 30 meters. Despite its small size, the cove has charming little restaurants where you can enjoy the island’s cuisine.
On the other side, we find the 100-meter-long Torrent de Paris. Surrounded by the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains and accessible only by a winding path, it offers stunning views and crystal-clear waters. Although the restaurant offering is limited, the pristine beauty of the place more than makes up for it. The area also offers hiking and diving opportunities.
Can Picafort: A vibrant spot in the north of the island
Located in Santa Margalida, Can Picafort Beach is a splendid white sandy beach stretching over 1 km long and 30 meters wide. Lined with the Bay of Alcudia, it offers a coastline of over 9 km and has been awarded the coveted Blue Flag, thanks to its services and natural preservation.
This family beach has amenities such as showers, sunbed and umbrella rentals, beach bars, and wheelchair access. Water sports, fishing, and the Can Picafort Yacht Club are among its leisure options.
Its promenade, bike path, and sculptures by the artist Joan Bennàssar, as well as a 7th-century archaeological site, add to its charm.
Alcudia Beach: A Place for Everyone
Alcudia Beach, one of the longest beaches in Mallorca, is a popular destination for its fine, soft sand, calm waters, and family-friendly atmosphere.
It has facilities with showers, restrooms, and even changing rooms. We highlight its family-friendly atmosphere, with a specific children’s play area and even a gym.
For the more adventurous, you can try a variety of water sports at this beach, including kayaking, paddleboarding, pedal boats, and pedalos.
The beach also has an area with umbrellas and sun loungers available for rent, so you won’t need to carry everything from home. The beach also has a variety of bars and restaurants where you can stay hydrated.
A large portion of this beach is bordered at the rear by a long boardwalk housing shops, restaurants, cafes, and accommodations, as well as a local tourist office.
