With over 200 beaches lining its coast, Mallorca <\/a> is an island paradise that offers visitors the choice between popular family-friendly playas<\/em> and idyllic, off-the-beaten-track calas<\/em>. Under piercing blue skies and the heat of the Mediterranean sun, this Balearic gem entices you to lap in the rays of the sun as you discover swathes of golden sands and the glistening blue beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Playa de Formentor <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A journey to Playa de Formentor means making your way through some of the most dramatic landscapes on the island. Divided into three sections, each with its own vibe, the beach is both beautiful and calm, it’s water shallow with rarely any waves. Stay for what may be the best sunset on the island or head to nearby Cap de Pera Lighthouse, where the evening light fades from blue to orange to pink hues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cala Santany\u00ed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking to explore the waters beyond the comfort of the shore, Cala Santany\u00ed is for you. Good means it\u2019s a popular dive spot with a variety of fish waiting to be chased and sea caves calling to be explored. By hiring a paddleboat, you\u2019re able to see the majestic Es Pont\u00e0s, a rock arch carved by the wind and tides that rise from the sea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. Cala Mesquida<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Set amongst the sand dunes and pine forests of the northeastern coast, Cala Mesquida is a designated \u2018area of special interest\u2019 owing to its wild beauty. Popular with tourists due its easy accessibility, the beach is quick to fill with umbrellas and loungers available to hire. Arrive early to secure a spot on the fine grain sand and wade in the waters that remain shallow metres offshore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Cala Mondrag\u00f3 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Designated a Blue Flag beach in 1992, Cala Mondrag\u00f3 remains protected from development and mass tourism. While popular, it remains relatively low-key and clean with visitors respecting its white sands and calm, clear waters. Don\u2019t forget to bring a good book and snorkel mask, as it\u2019s the perfect place for those looking to blend relaxation with adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Playa d\u2019Alcudia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stretching nearly 3.5km long, the sands of Playa d\u2019Alcudia have something for everyone. This family-friendly beach is patrolled by lifeguards for extra peace of mind when swimming and with kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and paddleboats available to hire, there\u2019s an activity on offer for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6. Es Trenc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located in the south of the island, Es Trenc is one of the most popular beaches on the island famed for its Caribbean blue waters and almost blinding, white sand. While this relaxing beach tends to draw families and a younger crowd, there is plenty of space to find the perfect patch of sand you\u2019re wanting to call your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7. Cala Varques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Known as one of the more low-key beaches to be found on Mallorca, this secluded cove beach boasts a free spirit atmosphere in addition to its deep, blue water and opalescent, white sands. Besides swimming and sunbathing by the shore, the deeper water further out is home to waters teeming with fish. Put on a snorkel and swim amongst its friendly inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

8. Cala Dei\u00e0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one Balearic beach on top of your list, it\u2019s Cala Dei\u00e0 whose onshore natural beauty is enough to warrant a visit. Hidden between pine-covered cliffs, its relative seclusion means a peaceful ambience to take in the panorama. Feast on some fresh and locally caught seafood served at one of the chiringuitos nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

9. Cala S\u2019Amarador <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located in Mondrago National Park, Cala S\u2019Amarador is surrounded by rocky coves, lush forests and serene sand dunes instead of resorts. Only accessible by car, it remains relatively quiet yet lively even in the summer peak. If you\u2019ve finished swimming for the day but not ready to leave, head for a walk on one of the several trails to discover the majesty of the national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

10. Cala Sa Calobra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The drive to Cala Sa Calobra is a highlight in itself with breathtaking drops and dramatic hairpin turns boasting spectacular views. You\u2019ll be welcomed by crystal-clear, turquoise water that\u2019ll have you running and undressing at the same time. While the beach is more pebble than sand, it\u2019s comfortable enough to relax on as you watch yachts cruise by in the distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
