A visit out west to Port d’Andratx and Sant Elm Beach

We left our lovely home town of Pollensa and set out for the west of the island. One of the great things about the island is that everywhere is so accessible, within 50 minutes we had traversed the island and arrived at Port d’Andratx for a leisurely walk along the sea front.

Visit to Cala Portals Vells Beach Mallorca

Last Saturday I decided that it was time for a change and I should visit one of the other beaches in Mallorca rather than my beloved Cala Llamp. There are so many beaches in Mallorca to choose from but I had set my expectations of what a beach should offer pretty high with Cala Llamp.

Deckchairs and Dinner in the Port of Soller

Location
Port de Soller

The Port of Soller is heating up (35 degrees today) and welcoming its visitors for the summer. The Repic beach is the main playground, and the choice of which part of the beach you sit on is a decision of the day. Some of the deckchair vendors are attached to local restaurants and the expectation is that if you sit on their deckchairs you will buy your snacks and lunch from them.

Cala Mesquida cove lies at the Northerly tip of the Eastern coast of the island in the Capdepera district and it is well worth the drive to get to it, though you can take the bus from nearby Cala Ratjada if you prefer.

Day Trip to the National Park of Cabrera

During the peak season even the quietest beaches and most secret bays in Mallorca become busy. Finding a space on the beach in Palma or any of the popular beach resorts can become difficult and the water becomes cloudy as hundreds of people stir up the sand.

Boat Trip to Formentor Beach

Location
Port de Pollenca (Puerto Pollensa)

During the summer months there are plenty of opportunities to take boat trips across the calm sea in the North of Mallorca. There is a regular boat service from the popular tourist town of Puerto Pollensa to the beach at Formentor, where the sea is clear blue and the sand is soft.

Playa de Formentor Beach Review

Location
Formentor

With its crystal clear waters in an almost unbelievable blue and its soft white sand Playa de Formentor also known as Calla Pi is absolutely breathtaking in the way that is usually reserved for the most unspoilt secret spots.

Cala Sant Vicenc Beaches

Location
Cala Sant Vicenc

Cala Sant Vicenç, also known in Spanish as Cala San Vicente is a small beach resort located on the Mallorcan coast between Pollenca and Puerto Pollensa. Tucked away between the Tramuntana Mountains, the clear waters of Cala Sant Vicenc are surrounded by impressive rocky cliffs. There are three magnificent beaches here each boasting views that stretch out across the sea for as far as the eye can see.

It was a hot, sunny day and after we’d finished our desk based work we decided to go to the beach for some R & R, but we were keen to try somewhere new. After a brief glance at our island map we decided C’an Picafort was to be the destination for the afternoon.

A Sunday Afternoon Cruise around Mallorca

Location
Port de Soller

We arrived 15 minutes late. It would have been considered early if we were meeting Spaniards, however Mark and Chris are proud Yorkshire men. They are also the father and son team who run the yacht charter company in Puerto Soller, on the western coast of Mallorca.

A Day Out at Port Alcudia Beach

The hot August sun is beating down on Mallorca and it is the perfect time to sit back, relax and give your skin the vitamin D it has been craving all year. This baking sun is an extraordinary 30-33 degrees at the moment and so a day at the beach with it's gentle breeze and gorgeous sea is the perfect way to stay cool.

Cala Romantica Beach Review

Cala Romantica is a picturesque cala with turquoise water and golden sand in the far east of Mallorca. A ten minute drive south of the resort of Porto Cristo, it is one of three sandy calas within a kilometre radius. The other calas are called Cala Mandia and Cala Anguila and can be accessed by foot.

The Sol Wave House Hotel in the Majorca beach resort of Magaluf is part of an plan to bring a bit more class to the resort. The main attraction at the hotel are the two wave machines that make learning to surf and even ride barrels a reality in the flat calm of Mallorca's beaches.
