Best beaches in Mallorca

 

As we mentioned before, Formentor Beach is one of the best beaches in Mallorca, but the island has much more to offer! If you want to visit the best beaches in Mallorca, here are the places that are worth going to during your visit so that you can enjoy the sun and the sea on an unforgettable journey.

 

On the island it is not all fine white sand, you will also find beaches covered by Posidonia, a very common algae in the Mediterranean sea bed and which is washed up on the beaches by the currents. Furthermore, for lovers of nature and the wild, the rocky coves, unspoiled and hidden, are the best place to appreciate the true beauty of the coast and the sea.

 

The list of beaches and coves worth visiting during your stay on the island is endless, so we recommend those which, in our opinion, are some of the best beaches in Mallorca. Among them are, of course, Formentor Beach, Es Trenc, Cala Agulla, Playa del Mago and Playa de Illetes.

 

Es Trenc

 

The Es Trenc sandy area is one of the most beautiful places on the island, formed by endless white sand dunes. It is more than 2 kilometers long and the waters are very calm and crystalline. This beach, so beloved by Mallorcan people, is completely unspoiled, but it is easily accessible, so getting there will not be a problem.

 

Cala Agulla

 

Cala Agulla is located on the northern part of the island and forms a natural landscape worthy of a Mediterranean postcard. Because of the beauty of its landscape, it has been declared a Natural Area of Special Interest. The beach is a good place to visit with the family, ideal for lovers of scuba diving. It also has parasol rental services for relief from the hot sun that is characteristic of summer in Mallorca.

 

 

Playa del Mago

 

A curious fact about this famous Mallorcan beach is that it was named after the film El Mago, which was filmed there in 1967. Playa del Mago, located in the area of Calvià, is a nudist beach and one of the most popular beaches in Mallorca. The beach, although rather small, has all the services, as well as providing an incredible landscape.

 

 

Playa de Illetes

 

Playa de Illetes, very close to Palma de Mallorca, is the ideal place if you are looking for a little more atmosphere. Here you will find the best restaurants, beach clubs on the sand and the most glamorous places to enjoy an unforgettable evening on the island, with the blue sea as a backdrop.

 

 

Serra de Tramuntana

 

The best landscapes of the island are not only made up of paradise beaches. Mallorca has a wild beauty that makes all nature lovers fall in love with it. The epitome of the island's natural landscapes is probably the imposing Serra de Tramuntana, the mountain range that runs along the northwest coast of Mallorca, from the area of Andratx and ending at Formentor Beach.

 

The Serra de Tramuntana has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is a place full of wildlife, rural villages that look like fairytales and dreamy landscapes formed by forests, cliffs and the intense blue of the Mediterranean in the background. Whether you are looking for rural tourism, visiting some of the most authentic villages on the island, or prefer to go hiking in Mallorca to get to know the island better, you will love this place.

 

You will find routes and excursions for all levels suitable for walking or even cycling and roads along which all those who prefer to move around by car can travel. If you are lucky enough to visit the island out of season, the mild and less hot climate and the lower number of tourists will make your visit a different experience that you will never forget.
