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.

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.

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.

Sailing in Mallorca is big business. In the last few alone decades new marinas have been built at Puerto Portals and Port Adriano to accommodate luxury yachts and Palma has one of the largest harbours in Europe for non commercial vessels.

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 Varques, East Coast of Mallorca

It's late October, and still the sun shines in Mallorca. And not just that autumnal sun that provides such wonderful light, but proper hot sunshine. It was a blissful 27 degrees yesterday, and with Northern Europe under the influence of a cold northerly front, we thank our lucky stars that we are here, away from the grey and the damp.

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.

Snorkelling in & around Palma de Mallorca

There are so many great beaches in Mallorca. White sands and clear waters can be found all along the north, south and east coasts and Majorca beach resorts like Magaluf, Illetas & Puerto Portals all have sheltered bays.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The bay of Alcudia is well known for it's endless Playa de Muro beach. Not quite as well known is that the bay is excellent for wind and kite surfing. And just a a little bit further down the coast from Playa de Muro, the wind surfers and kite surfers have laid claim to one of the best places on the island to ride the waves.

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.
