Hazel Hammond 19 April 2018

With predominantly sandy beaches, palm trees and promenades aplenty, the best beaches in Mallorca are idyllic, relaxing and ripe for adventure.

The beaches in the north of Mallorca are characterised by long and beautiful stretches of sand with a variety of water sports on offer. In the south of the island and along the east coast, beaches come in a variety of shapes and sizes, many of which are found inside stunning nature reserves. Beaches in the bustling west of the island are the busiest, attracting visitors and locals from the island’s capital, Palma de Mallorca.

There really is a beach to suit all tastes in Mallorca. Here are some of our favourites.

Playa de Port de Pollença Playa de Port de Pollença

This huge golden sandy beach of 1.5km long is a must-visit in the north-eastern corner of the island.
