Northern Mallorca: Beaches and Nature
Formentor Beach
Tucked into the dramatic landscape of Pollensa Bay, Formentor Beach is famed for its turquoise waters and secluded charm. A favourite arrival by yacht, it offers crystal-clear snorkelling, sightings of octopus and cuttlefish, and three superb dining options, all connected by a shallow, scenic shoreline. The iconic Hotel Formentor, once frequented by Winston Churchill and Grace Kelly, is being transformed into a year-round Four Seasons resort.
Pollensa Beach
Just steps from Puerto Pollensa, this wide, one-kilometre stretch is peaceful and well-equipped, with lifeguards, showers, and a vibrant promenade of restaurants. Perfect for families and sunset strolls.
Alcudia Beach
Twice the width of Pollensa’s bay, Alcudia Beach offers expansive white sands, ideal for families. At one end lies the Alcudiamar Yacht Club, while Playa de Muro in the centre boasts chic beach bars and lively restaurants.
Cala del Aguila
A wild, pine-fringed beach popular with the younger crowd in summer. Cala del Aguila offers pristine sand, clear waters, water sports, and a rustic chiringuito serving hearty local cuisine.
Port de Sóller Beach
Separated from the port by a stream, this long, narrow beach is composed of fine shingle and light sand. Take advantage of boat trips or visit the stylish new Yacht Club.
Cala Deià
A rugged, rocky beach with transparent waters, Cala Deià is a magnet for artists and celebrities. Hidden among the cliffs and olive trees, this coastal gem blends natural beauty with cultural allure.
Cala San Vicente
Made up of four coves — Cala Barques, Cala Clara, Cala Molins, and Cala Carbó — this coastal enclave is ideal for diving and snorkelling, with its craggy shoreline and crystalline waters.
Es Trenc
Located on the southeast coast near Colònia de Sant Jordi, Es Trenc is a postcard-perfect beach of white sand and shallow aquamarine water. Protected from development, its wild dunes and laid-back chiringuitos make it a must-stop when heading toward Ibiza or Cabrera.
Sa Calobra
Arguably the most dramatic beach on the island, Sa Calobra lies at the end of a 12km mountain road or, better yet, a spectacular boat journey. Set between towering cliffs at the mouth of the Lluch and Gorg Blau rivers, it’s a perfect mix of adventure, beauty, and cinematic scenery.
