The Ultimate Guide to the Most Beautiful Beaches in Mallorca

If you are about to leave or are booking your next nautical charter to the largest Balearic island, perhaps this little guide to the most characteristic beaches and bays of Mallorca will suit you!

In this guide, we will introduce you to the beaches of Mallorca that you shouldn’t miss during your charter aboard a yacht, catamaran, or sailboat.

MALLORCA YACHT CHARTER ENQUIRY

But first, let’s take stock of the characteristics of this charter destination:

One of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain, Mallorca boasts more than 550 kilometers of coastline, a sea of ​​blue and crystalline waters, sands, and beaches that have nothing to envy the Caribbean and a mild and temperate climate, a classic of the Mediterranean Sea.

Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic archipelago and is located about 170 km from the mainland, southeast of Spain, and off the Spanish coast between Barcelona and Valencia. The generally quiet sea of ​​this archipelago makes it the perfect place to sail to during summer.

It is famous for its paradisiacal beaches, breathtaking bays, and nightlife, but not only. The hinterland of Mallorca hides many points of interest such as mountain villages, hiking trails, and numerous cycling routes.

The capital of the island is the city of Palma de Mallorca, a large, lively, and sometimes frenetic center (about a third of the hotels on the island are located right in this city). It is home to around 500,000 inhabitants and is a city rich in both ancient and contemporary monuments and interesting museums.

Palma is well known also and above all for its nightlife, in short, if you are looking for late-night open clubs and disco parties, you don’t need to go too far!

What is the best time to visit Mallorca?

Thanks to its mild temperatures, Mallorca makes its beaches accessible as early as June and until the end of September (even October is a month with an increasingly favorable climate for navigation).

Aside from the summer, Majorca is a destination that is also suitable for spring holidays. Although in the months of April and May the sea is still quite cold, this period is ideal for visiting the interior of the island and its cities or for hiking in the mountains due to the low number of tourists present and boats moored in the ports.

The 7 most beautiful beaches of Mallorca

After making a small recap, we have arrived at the time to talk about Beaches!

Here is the list of the 7 must-see beaches of Mallorca in our opinion, followed by a brief description of each:

• Playa de Muro;
• Es Trenc;
• Calo des Moro;
• Cala el Mago;
• Cala des Marmols;
• Cala Agulla;
• Cala Mondragò;

Playa de Muro

with Alcudia it forms the longest continuous stretch of beach in the Balearic Islands. Together they extend for about 7 kilometers.

Playa de Muro and its jetty are one of the emblems of the island and offer a unique panorama that we often find on Majorca postcards.

The characteristics of the beach are perfect: sea with a gently sloping seabed, white sand, and clear waters, and behind this stretch of beach there are suggestive sand dunes where juniper bushes grow.

A location suitable for the whole family, but with a few discos and a pinch of nightlife that doesn’t hurt.

Es Trenc

Es Trenc is a beach on the southwestern tip of Mallorca and is located within the protected natural area of ​​Ses Salines. Since 2017 it has been part of the marine-terrestrial Natural Park of Es Trenc-Salobrar de Campos.

A row of dunes behind a fine white sand beach forms a sort of natural barrier that separates the Campos plain from the sea. The characteristics of the sand and crystal clear blue waters make it one of the emblematic beaches of Mallorca, present with its beauty in the photographs of many tourist promotions on the island.

It is one of the last areas of unspoiled nature in Mallorca, a beach that is still quite wild, with high environmental values, ​​and apart much appreciated by nudists.

Calo des Moro

Located on the southeast coast of Mallorca, it is a small virgin beach carved into the rock and protected from the waves. If you have in mind the images of boats that seem to fly over water, well in Calo des Moro this optical effect is the order of the day and for this reason, it is one of the most photographed beaches on the island.

Immersed in the wildest nature of Mallorca, in one of the most popular areas, especially for tourism in northern Europe.

Cala el Mago

Crystal clear water, a few trees to provide shade, Cala el Mago is one of the most famous beaches in Mallorca.

Surely it is a favorite of those staying in Magaluf, The name Playa del Mago derives from the fact that here, in the 60s, some scenes of a film starring Anthony Quinn were shot. The title of the film was, in fact, The Magus.

Cala del Mago is really beautiful, easily accessible, and suitable for everyone. The beach is divided into two distinct coves, one of which is frequented mainly by those who practice nudism.

Cala des Marmols

A splendid cove of white sand like marble, hence the name, which is hidden on the southeast side of the island. Protected from currents, its waters are always warm and transparent.

To make it even more popular is the fact that it cannot be reached by car but only by sea or by land and that there is no type of service on the beach and along its paths, which makes it even wilder.

Cala Agulla

Together with Cala Mesquida and Cala Torta, Cala Agulla forms a trio of incredible beaches of dunes and pink sand.

Cala Agulla is located a stone’s throw from the center of Cala Ratjada, one of the most beautiful areas most frequented by tourism in Mallorca. Behind the beach, there is a pine forest where you can take refuge in the hottest hours.

Due to its easy accessibility, Cala Agulla gets crowded easily, especially on summer weekends and it is, therefore, better to visit it during the week.

On the other hand, an aspect to pay attention to is the wind forecast: when the wind comes from the sea, waves arise that make it almost impossible to swim as well as more difficult to navigate.

Cala Mondragò

Cala Mondragò is certainly one of the most enchanting places on the whole island. It is protected by a vast pine forest and consists of two beaches, connected by a path that runs along a rock wall, where there is a restaurant and a chiringuito that sells fresh fruit and refreshing cocktails.

Continuing the walk inside the pine forest, other smaller and wilder beaches can also be reached.
