Cala Mitjana 

Cala Mitjana is a small unspoilt cove in the south of Menorca. With its blue waters and its central location on the island next to Cala Gardana, it is accessible and recommendable for everyone.
It has nothing to envy to the most beautiful beaches of the Caribbean. Its location is idyllic.
A mixture of forests and spectacular cliffs. It is also ideal for swimming and snorkelling. This beautiful sandy beach is about 140 metres long and 90 metres wide.
This small, pristine cove with turquoise waters will enchant you from the moment you set foot on its white sandy beach.

Cala Deià 

Cala Deià is a small paradisiacal bay in the northwest of Mallorca, 10 km from Sóller and surrounded by the Tramuntana mountain range, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
A refuge and source of inspiration for artists of all kinds, Deià is one of the most charming villages in Mallorca, thanks to its pleasant character, its tranquillity and its ideal location in front of the Mediterranean Sea.
The bay of Deia is a paradise on earth, the village itself. The water is clear with pebbles and fine sand. There is a large bar with magnificent views, ideal for relaxing and sunbathing.

Cala Esmeralda

The beach of Cala Esmeralda, located in the east of Mallorca, next to Cala d'Or and the Mondragó Natural Park, offers crystal clear waters like a paradise on earth.
The turquoise waters, the fine white sand, the endless seabed and the small cove of Cala Esmeralda, just outside the centre of Cala d'Or, are perhaps the least known destinations in the region. The east coast combines unspoilt bays with some of the most beautiful beaches on the island.
A magical place to forget the worries of everyday life in a tranquil atmosphere.

Cala Ratjada

Cala Ratjada is located in the northeast of Mallorca, 1 hour and 15 minutes from Palma de Mallorca.
Cala Ratjada has two large beaches, the beach of Son Moor and the beach of Cala Agulla. Cala Agulla is a beautiful beach with crystal clear blue waters and an excellent location next to the mountains.
On the other side is the beach of Son Moll, a little more commercial but easily accessible, with many restaurants and snack bars right next to it. The latter is also suitable for families as it is located within the resort. Golden sands as far as the eye can see, crystal clear turquoise waters and pristine surroundings are the hallmarks of Cala Agula.

Cala Varques 

Cala Varques is a paradisiacal beach of white sand and crystal clear waters on the east coast of Mallorca. Situated between Porto Cristo and Porto Colom, the bay is characterised by its calm atmosphere and idyllic surroundings.
The Mallorcan beach of Cala Varques, classified as a natural space without tourist activity (ANEI), is an excellent alternative to the tourist beaches of Palma.
It also has numerous caves and underwater galleries, and is very popular for caving, diving, climbing and other water sports.
You won't be able to resist its crystal clear waters and lush vegetation.

Playa De Sant Elm

Sant Elm is an old fishing village located in the west of Mallorca, opposite the island of Dragonera.
Ravaged by bandits and pirates, Sant Ellum was one of the main gateways during the various invasions that took place on the island.
Sant Elm beach is divided into two sections: a large white sandy beach and a small pebble beach.
The water is clear, clean and safe for swimming. The beach is also popular with families. Its strength lies in its quiet and unchanging character, despite having become a major tourist destination.

Playa Ses Illetes 

Located on the southwest coast of the island, Illetas beach is one of the most popular beaches in Mallorca.
Its calm waters stretch along a quiet 200-metre-long bay covered with white sand and surrounded by hotels, restaurants and facilities of all kinds.
Located in the municipality of Calvià, but very close to the city of Palma (2 km), Ses Illetes is not very long and is a rocky and sandy beach frequented mainly by locals.
The beach of Illetas is magnificent, with its crystal clear waters and soft white sand.

Playa De Muro

A real postcard motif, the Mallorcan beach of Muro will not leave you indifferent. With fine sand and crystal-clear waters, it is one of the largest and most beautiful beaches on the island.
The beach of Muro stretches uninterruptedly for several kilometres between two adjacent coastal towns. A paradisiacal spot facing the bay of Alcudia, with spectacular views of the mountains to the north.
The beach of Muro is a favourite with families thanks to its facilities, which include a children's area, restaurants, parasol and sun lounger hire, showers and facilities for all kinds of water sports.

Sa Calobra beach

Sa Calobra, also known as Torrent de Pareis, is a small cove in the north of Mallorca, in the shadow of Mallorca's highest peak, Puig Mayor, 38 km from Sóller.
Access to the village was difficult until 1932, when a road was built in 1933 to allow tourists to discover this natural gem.
Sa Calobra means "snake" in Catalan, a reference to the road that leads here: nicknamed the "tie knot" for its winding and dangerous nature, this route is an adventure in itself, with breathtaking views. As we descend, we begin to see the blue colours of the Mediterranean Sea. The sea awaits you at the end of the road.
Unmissable, breathtaking, incredible: there are many superlatives to describe the unique and mythical place of Sa Calobra.

Es Trenç

Considered one of the best beaches in Mallorca thanks to its spectacular natural setting, Es Trenc is an unspoilt beach that forms a small corner of paradise surrounded by the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Isolated, with no hotels or buildings nearby, just vegetation and sand dunes. The water is calm, there are no waves and the sea is clear and blue. The sand is white, very white and very fine.
Here you can also visit the famous salt pans that are part of the region's tradition. The turquoise waters, the golden sand, the dunes, the salt pans, the flora and fauna are wonderful activities that only Es Trenc can offer.
