Beaches in Mallorca

Beaches BotonBeen an Island Mallorca has almost all its coast to offer splendid white sand beaches, rocky beaches, open plan ones, others surrounded by mountains. There are places reachable by car car, others just on foot… it variety is what makes this a perfect spot in the Mediterranean. That is why we will list a few of these below, but there are always many more to explore.

 

On the North Coast:

 

Playa de Muro

This is a long sandy beach with nice view to the mountains. The sand is fine and water is clear and shallow… it is simply perfect for those with families and children. There is a lot of space to play and there are bars and restaurants along the beach open throughout the whole day.

The coordinates are: 39º48’52” N – 3º07’01” E

 

Alcudia

Alcudia is one of the big bays in the north of the island. It is also a fantastic beach for families and children. It has a promenade and some bar are directly on the beach. There is also a playground on the beach for kids! When the sun starts setting you can walk along the promenade to Port Alcudia for a snack, a drink or simply to let you children play a bit more on the trampolines set up form them in the summer.

The coordinates are: 39º50’16”N – 3º07’29” E

 

Formentor

If you were shown a picture of this beach and you were asked where it was you would possibly think the Caribbean. This is a white sandy beach with crystal clear shallow water. It is remote but can get crowded in the summer. There are only two restaurants at the beach and no amenities nearby, so be prepared. We would not recommend this beach for children since it is very narrow therefore not leaving much space for children top lay.

Cala Deia

This is what we call a typical mallorquin cove. There is no sand only pebbles and rock but the surroundings are of such beauty and charm that it is a favourite amongst locals. The sea is always amazingly clear and inviting. It is not an easy place to reach. Once the car is parked the walk is not long but steep. There are two restaurants with very good fish dishes. Early diner at sunset in the summer with a glass of white wine is a must!

Platja D’en Repic in Soller

Bahia de Soller is one the most beautiful palces on the island. It is a natural port, surrounded by steep dramatic mountains, with a pleasant and walking promenade with many trendy cafes and restaurants. This beach is sandy and there is space for children to play. But the water is not shallow. On the contrary there is quite a steep slop into the sea. So it is not ideal to leave them on their own playing around. Port Soller is always worth a visit.

On the East Coast:

 

Sa Coma & Cala Millor

These are the two biggest resort on the east coast. Only separated by the península Punta N’Amer. This is a really nice walk between the two beaches, but a long one. Sa Coma is one kilometre long and pretty wide. The sand is white and water is very clear and shallow. There is a walking promenade which takes you another beautiful cove: Cala Moreya. Form this spot or even Punta N’Amer it is possible to spot dolphins sometimes. Cala Millor on the other hand is considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast. Its sand is white and its waters are shallow. It is definitely child friendly.
