1. Es Trenc Beach
This beach is located in a spectacular natural park which makes it one of the best in the world pristine beaches of Mallorca. Its white sand stretches along 2km of coastline, and is bathed by some of the most beautiful beaches in the world turquoise waters shallow that make you think of the typical Caribbean beaches.
Es Trenc is one of the most famous beaches Mallorca and therefore there are usually quite crowded, but if you go a little away from the entry point you will find a place to plant the umbrella and enjoy the tranquility. Being inside the natural park no services as showers or bathrooms, but there is at the entrance a small chiringuito where you can buy drinks mainly. There is also a restaurant outside the beach where you can eat, although the prices are a bit high due to its location.

To get to this beach it is best to do it with the following services car as the public transport in Mallorca does not work very well. Once there you will have to leave the car at a parking The price is 7€/day for cars or 2€/day for motorcycles. You can also leave your car at the roads but you have to take into account that you can be fined and you will have to walk a long way to get to the beach. There are usually long queues of cars entering and leaving the beach so we recommend you to take the following advice getting up early or riding a motorcycle if it is a possibility for you.


2. Pi Cove
This small hidden cove on the south coast of the island is one of the special corners that Mallorca has. This cove of fine sand and turquoise waters surrounded by rocks and dense vegetation, it forms a incredible scenery It is located at the mouth of a torrent. It is a perfect cove to go when there is wind The cliffs are almost unnoticeable and do not bother anything.
In high season they have a rental service for hammocks and a small chiringuito But when we went in August we didn't see any of this, maybe because of the time. We recommend going well into the afternoon if you want to find less people, as it is not a very large beach and is usually quite crowded in high season.
As soon as parking there is enough in the whole town of Cala Pi, but it is true that there are so many people that you may have to park a little far away and walk for a while.
⚠ Watch out!
When searching for Cala Pi on Google maps it is possible that it marks the village of Cala Pi as it happened to us and then we could not find the entrance to the cove. Here we leave you the specific location of the restaurant at the entrance.


3. Caló des Moro
Caló des Moro, we can say that it is one of the most famous coves of Mallorca, and one of the more beautiful. However, the recent mass tourism has made the place lose a bit of charm for our taste. Being a very small cove with a very small sandy area, as soon as there are a few people there is nowhere to find a place to put a towel. That is why we recommend go very early in the morning or just go to see it, take a bath and leave.
To get to Caló des Moro, the best option is to leave the car at the free parking at the entrance of the urbanization of Cala Llombards. From there there is a 15-minute walk We recommend wearing a hat and sneakers if possible, as there is little shade. The last part of the path is along the cliffs, which allows you to see a beautiful view the beach.
Please note that this beach does not have any type of services There are no showers, no beach bars or anything close by, so if you want to spend the day, remember to bring water and food.
4. Mondragó and S'Amarador coves
These beautiful pristine coves are part of the Mondragó Natural Park. With clear waters and fine sand, both are surrounded by vegetation and connected by a rock platform that connects them.
There is parking on both beaches, although the one at S'Amarador is a bit bigger than the other one. The price is 7€/day for cars and 2€/day for motorcycles, and you only have to follow a very easy dirt road for 5 minutes to get to the beach.
The natural environment of these beaches is incredible, although in summer they tend to be a bit crowded, which takes away a bit of charm. We recommend you to leave your towels and umbrella at S'Amarador which is a little bigger than the other, and walk through the rock platform to visit Mondragó Cove. You will have a very nice panoramic view of both beaches from there.
There is beach bars to eat both in S'Amarador and Mondragó, and a hammock rental area.


TIP Influencer 📸
If you want a very cool view of Cala Mondragó and the little boats moored in the cove, we recommend you to follow the path that continues to the right in S'Amarador, which leads to the Mirador de Cala Mondragó. The views are beautiful and perfect for taking some postureo photos.
5. Muro Beach
This paradisiacal beach of white sand and crystal clear waters that never seem to cover is one of the best beaches in the north of Mallorca. It is a coastal strip It is divided into 4 sectors (sector 1, sector 2, Es Comú and Ses Casetes des Capellans) where you can find different areas, some with more services such as hammocks and others more natural.
The sectors 1-2 are the areas where there are more services: hammocks, beach clubs, kayak rentals, paddle surfing, etc. They are also the sectors where you can find the famous wooden walkways that you have surely seen in photos. Take the opportunity to take some postureo photos or just to jump into the water, it's super fun!


Best beach in Mallorca to go with children
The beach of Muro, is one of the most popular beaches among the families because it has all the necessary services and water covers very little It is ideal to go with the little ones. As for parking There is plenty of parking space in the surrounding area so that you can park your car in the free so you will just have to walk around a bit to find a place.
6. Agulla Cove
This cove of white sand and blue waters is located in the town of Cala Ratjada, northeast of the island. It is in the middle of a natural park Although it has all the services available (lifeguard, beach bar, etc.), it still has its own wild essence. Surrounded by a pine forest, it is one of the most important most beautiful beaches we have seen with the contrast of its turquoise waters when the sun shines overhead.
It is one of the most famous beaches in Mallorca and the paid parking is very close to the beach, which makes it one of the most visited beaches in this area of the island. Even so, the area of the sand and the cove itself is quite large so do not hesitate to visit it.
The price of parking is 3€ for motorcycles and 6€ for cars for the whole day. Another option if you want to save this is to park in the area of Cala Ratjada where the hotels are. Here the parking is free You will have to walk a bit to the beach (10 minutes) and go around a few times to find a spot.


7. Gat Cove
Small cove located in Cala Ratjada, in the north of the island of Mallorca. It is one of the most beautiful coves and less known of Mallorca and for us it is one of the essential places to see on the island.
Its waters have incredible turquoise blue tones and it is surrounded by cliffs with a dense pine forest, creating a unique magical landscape. Thanks to this, it is one of the best coves to make snorkel in Mallorca, as you can go along the rocks and see a lot of marine fauna.
The sand area is quite small It is possibly one of the coves in Mallorca where we have seen the highest concentration of people per square meter. We didn't mind too much since we usually leave our things on the sand and jump into the water, but if you don't like to be crowded in the sand this is not your place.
This cove has free parking right at the entrance, and if there is no space, you can always try to park in the surrounding streets, even if you have to walk a bit.


8. Na Clara Cove
Small cove of crystal clear waters located to the north of the island in the urbanization of Betlem. It is a very small beach and totally virgin being one of our favorite coves in Mallorca and one of the more beautiful with a very special charm.
The best way to get there is by car and park anywhere in the urbanization, ideally at the end of the road Avenida de Colón The path down to the cove begins. The access is not for all audiences as the end of the route descends down the rock and has quite a steep slope, but we assure you that it is totally worth it (about 15 minutes).
Before arriving at the cove you will find the Na Clara viewpoint from which there are breathtaking views of the cove and the sea Cape Formentor. We recommend you to go to the cove late in the afternoon to find less people there and to see the sunset, when the sun hides behind the Cap Formentor is a magical experience. Despite being a secluded cove, in the central hours of the day it is usually quite crowded.
Another of the things we loved about this beach is that it almost looks like a swimming pool clear waters in which you can get quite deep into without covering you. We don't know if it is usual but when we were there, there were biting fish! Don't worry because they don't do any harm, but they do give you a scare from time to time.



9. Mesquida Cove
This cove in the north of Mallorca is a large beach which has two distinct areas, the right side, more wild, surrounded by dunes and pine trees, and the left side, near a residential area. It has some turquoise waters impressive and quite a lot of amplitude So, although it is usually quite crowded in summer, you will always be able to find a corner away from the people.
Cala Mesquida is a beach with all the necessary services (hammocks, beach bars, etc.) and easy access through stairs. We leave you here is the link to the stairs as we had a little trouble finding them. It also has free parking We recommend you to arrive early because it fills up quite soon.
This beautiful cove is one of the best places to practice snorkel of Mallorca, since it is surrounded by cliffs, it has some rocks at the bottom full of minnows and posidonia. We found it a very cool and fun place to spend the morning. Cala Mesquida is also very famous among the lovers of the surfing or windsurfing It receives winds from the north that cause good waves for the practice of these sports.
