New Beach for the Port of Soller

The Port of Soller is on the North West coast of Mallorca, nestling in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountain range. In my opinion we have got it all here – from the majestic mountains that surround us down to our perfect horse shoe bay. Despite a thirty year association with the place, I would never have envisaged what is happening here today.

Seawater In Mallorca Beaches Is Of High Quality

Water all clear on Mallorca's beaches

There is nothing to worry about when swimming in Mallorca's cristaline Mediterranean waters. The local government has just released a report based on extensive tests performed on 115 different points around the island's coast and they have all come back with very positive results.

Location
Capdepera

I drove down to see what Cala Ratjada was like as a friend had suggested I take a look. It is clear when you arrive that the town is another German stronghold on the island, with specials boards outside restaurants written almost exclusively in German, with the odd bit of Spanish and English.

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.

Beach Bars in Mallorca

In addition to the smart beach clubs that Mallorca has to offer, there are a number of more relaxed beach bars where you can enjoy food and drink either right on the beach or right next door to the beach.

A Day at Playa de Muro Beach

Location
Playa de Muro

Playa de Muro is worth a visit, whether as a day out or as a base for your holiday. There’s a very busy main road stretching the length of the town stocked with every commercial amenity you might need, there are supermarkets and pharmacies, clothing and souvenir shops, bars restaurants and fast food outlets and for nightlife you’re in walking distance to Playa D’Alcudia’s main hot spot the Banana Club.

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.

Sailing from Port de Soller

Location
Port de Soller

Living near the sea in the Port of Soller, Majorca, has many advantages. Waking to the sight of the perfect horse shoe bay surrounded by mountains is still a thrill. The beach is coming to life with strategically placed tin bins which are used by the local bar owners to burn the bamboo.

The Best Beaches in South Mallorca

Mallorca has miles of coast line and is home to some of the most popular beach resorts in Europe. Magaluf, Alcudia, Palma Nova and and Cala D'or all make the Trip Advisor top ten list for beaches in Spain, and a week on the sand is what most people look for in a summer break, making Mallorca the ideal summer holiday destination. Finding the best beach on Mallorca is something that can turn a trip to the island into a perfect holiday.

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.

Son Serra de Marina Beach Review

Son Serra de Marina is a quite little coastal town in North Mallorca. Laid back and sprawling it covers a 5km stretch of coast and is made up of houses initially built as weekend getaways for city dwelling Mallorcans.

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 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.
