Beaches in Mallorca — 6 of Our Favourites

This small beach is surrounded by low cliffs which make for excellent viewpoints, covered in pine trees. Its unspoilt appearance is strengthened by its fine golden sand and the lack of buildings surrounding it making it a great choice for those in search of some peace and quiet.

A popular cove with mooring yachts thanks to its favourable anchoring conditions, accessing the beach by land requires some walking. 

Hotels Nearby
There is nowhere to stay on the beach here, so the closest option is arguably Cala d'Or, which offers a range of accommodation mainly designed for families, or if you'd like to stay somewhere more traditional in Mallorca, try the inland town of Santanyi. 

Restaurants Nearby
The nearest option is on Cala Mondrago, only 500 metres away, where there is a beach ‘chiringuito’ serving traditional mallorcan tapas. Alternatively, there is a good selection of restaurants in Cala d'Or serving Mediterranean cuisine, a range of tapas and international food.

You'll find very comfy bamboo sunloungers for hire here as well as showers and toilets. There is also a beach bar that sells drinks and snacks.

You'll need your own transport to get here - car parking costs €3.50 for the day. Or take a boat trip if you can, the bay is popular with private boats.

The closest resorts are Cala d'Or to the south and Porto Colom, around 3 km to the north.

Here, you’ll find sun loungers and parasols to rent, lifeguards are on duty during peak season and the beach offers facilities such as toilets, showers, disabled access and a free car park.

Despite its seclusion, this beach is often still very popular during the summer months. If you’re arriving late morning, and find there's too many people already, you can always try the larger bay of S'Aramador beach, a 400m walk east along the scenic coastline. Alternatively wait until the evening to enjoy the best this beach has to offer.

Hotels
There are a couple of hotels within easy reach of Cala Mondrago, alternatively the closest resort is Cala d'Or, which offers a whole host of options mainly designed for families, or if you'd like to stay somewhere more traditional in Mallorca, try the inland village of Santanyi.

Restaurants
A handful of bars and restaurants serving up traditional Mediterranean gastronomy offer daily refreshments on the beach. Alternatively, there is a good selection of restaurants in Cala d'Or serving Mediterranean cuisine, Spanish tapas and international food.

At 130 metres long and around 80 metres wide, the beach can easily accommodate the crowd so expect to find yourself amongst happy families dutifully arranging their towels and snorkels.

A mini mart and a few casual beach cafes or restaurants can be found in the petite village of Cala Santanyi (not to be confused with the village of Santanyi further north and inland… offering extensive local and international cuisine, as well as regular live music).

This is one of our favourite beaches on Mallorca - its relatively isolated location means only those with cars or boats can access it. There are sunbeds and parasols to rent, and a small bar for refreshments. Toilets and showers are available.

Free car parking is available about a five minute walk away.

The closest resort to s'Aramador beach is Cala d'Or and you can read all about it in our Guide to Cala d'Or. Alternatively, you could try staying in the close-by rural village of Santanyi, which has some boutique hotels and a very good weekly market.
