Majorca, Spain

Top 5 of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca

05 June 2021

Majorca is renowned for its paradisiacal fine-sand beaches and its wild rocky coves. Beneath its crystal-clear waters lies an underwater world that offers beautiful encounters during freediving moments. To help you a little, here is our top 5 of must-see beaches in Majorca!

Calo del Moro, the dream beach

To get to Calo del Moro, you take a small path through the pines that gradually reveals this cove, love at first sight is immediate! Its turquoise water, white sand, wild and preserved side make this place one of the most beautiful beaches in Majorca. Following a landslide, the beach is covered in rocks, which gives a secluded feel to the very popular spot! Watch your feet to avoid getting hurt while trying to swim 😉

Practical information

We parked for free at this large car park, located a 15-minute walk from Calo del Moro. Bring trainers, as the path is slightly steep, but it will offer beautiful views of the cove.

Sa Calobra & Torrent de Pareis, a paradise between the millennia-old cliffs

After descending the impressive Ma-2141, both for its winding roads and breathtaking views, we arrive at the small village of Sa Calobra by the sea.

To get to Torrent de Pareis, we must cross a small tunnel carved into the rock. Several windows have been created to give us a foretaste of this completely unique beach.

Emerging from the tunnel, we couldn't have anticipated such a sight: we found ourselves in the middle of a canyon with its reddish rocks. The Sa Calobra beach marks the point where the Torrent de Pareis flows into the sea between two majestic cliffs. The Torrent de Pareis is the result of the confluence of the Torrent de Lluc and the Torrent de Gorg Blau. Flowing towards the sea, this river has created a very impressive canyon, almost dry in summer. We were here mid-May and it was practically dry, only a few remaining water sources confirming their existence.

The location is also ideal for hiking. The most famous trail, starting from the ma-10 near the village of Escorca, allows you to descend the riverbed on foot for 7 km. However, descending into the canyon is reserved for experienced hikers who are not afraid of climbing the limestone rock or doing canyoning to reach the end of the path! It is strongly recommended to be accompanied by a guide if you plan to take this walk, which is reportedly one of the most beautiful in the Balearic Islands.

After descending the entire mountain, at the end of the road, you will find this small car park. Here, it is paid (really not free) and spaces are precious. It costs €3 per hour for parking.

Cala s’Almunia and its small fishermen's houses

On the other side of Calo des Moro, is Cala s'Almunia, a small cove with equally paradisiacal water. Between the rocks and steep cliffs, a few small fishermen's houses have been built, giving the place a magical air. We just passed by, but it seems to be a renowned spot for snorkeling.

We parked for free on a large car park, located a 15-minute walk from Calo del Moro. From there, we took the path that indicated Almunia.

Cala Mondrago, Platja de s'Amarador, and Calo des Borgit: 3 coves in the heart of the Mondrago Natural Park

10 minutes from Santanyi, these 3 paradisiacal beaches are located in the Southeast of the island. All composed of white sand, surrounded by pine trees and turquoise water, they are the perfect place to spend a lazy day: beach rackets with your feet in the water, refreshing swims, snorkeling, reading a novel on the sand and short walks through the pine trees to discover the Nature Park.

Platja de s’Amarado: the largest of the 3 coves, you can see the boats that have anchored for the day.
Calo des Borgit: the most intimate, perfect for a nap.

Sant Pere Beach & Sa Font Joan Beach, the least touristy

After a day in the sun on the Formentor Cape, we wanted to cool off without a horde of tourists and an expensive parking lot. After some research on google maps and about twenty minutes from the Port of Pollença we find ourselves facing the Sant Pere Beach, a very little-visited wild beach with turquoise water and views of the Formentor Cape's hills. The water, still a little cool for the season, doesn't stop us and we dive straight into the sea to enjoy this afternoon.


Right next to it is Platja de Sa Font Joan, its longer sister. During our visit, it was more exposed to the wind and seaweed, which is why we chose to walk a few more meters to put our towels on the Sant Pere Beach.
