A beach in Mallorca for every type of traveler
Discover the island’s coastal charm according to your travel style
If Mallorca has one thing — besides its delicious gastronomy — it’s beaches for every taste.
The kind that make you sigh, take a hundred photos and promise yourself you’ll come back. But let’s be honest: not everyone looks for the same thing when traveling. Some people think of vacations as pure relaxation; others dream about routes, adventures or lively days by the sea.
Here’s a Mallorca beach for every type of traveler.
The relaxation traveler
You like to live slowly, read under a beach umbrella and listen to the sound of the sea as if it were your favorite playlist. You look for calm, fine sand and turquoise waters, far from crowds and rows of sunbeds.
Beaches you’ll love:
-Sant Elm, at the foot of Universal Hotel Aquamarin, with views of the Sa Dragonera Natural Park and surrounded by an extraordinary landscape.Calm, sea views and mountains all in one place
-Es Carbó:in the south of the island , requires a short walk from the port of Colònia de Sant Jordi. The best part? The peace and quiet more than make up for the effort.
-Caló des Monjo, just steps from Cala Fornells, surrounded by pine trees and with an incredible seabed.
