Sa Calobra

A quaint beach located at the edge of Port de sa Calobre offers limited space for lounging and sunbathing, but boasts stunning azure waters perfect for swimming and a breathtaking view up the valley. We visited this beach after exploring Torrent de Pareis.

Torrent de Pareis

This beach’s uniqueness lies in its location at the end of Canyon de la Calobre, surrounded by cliffs. The journey from Port de sa Calobre involves walking through narrow tunnels, with breathtaking sea views through cliff openings. As you emerge into the canyon’s expanse, the vista of the azure sea through a small cliff opening is truly stunning. The beach isn’t sandy but features smooth, round rocks that are easy to walk on and fun for building little formations. Visit early to avoid crowds, and consider the sun’s position for shade or sun. A hike up the canyon is highly recommended—more details can be found in our hiking section.

Platja des Coll Baix

We never quite reached the beach while hiking, as the final stretch involved climbing over large rocks with a steep drop. Considering the kids, we decided it wasn’t worth the risk. The view was stunning, but with children, I’d suggest visiting by boat instead.

Playa S’Illot

A delightful location on the Alcudia peninsula! We savored a delicious paella lunch at the cozy restaurant just above. Afterwards, instead of swimming at Playa S’Illot, we actually chose the secluded beach to the other side of the restaurant as this was desserted and we felt so privileged to have it to ourselves. The water was stunningly clear—the clearest we found in Mallorca—and we had a fun jumping from the cliffs. The beach featured a mix of sand and rocks. One of my favorite spots from this trip!

Platja de Sant Pere

This beach is near Playa S’Illot, and still we might not have discovered this gem had it not been recommended to us. Being within walking distance from Alcudia Old Town and Mal Pas – Bonaire, it’s likely somewhat touristy, though it was not crowded when we were there around noon.

We walked from Marina Bonaire, passing charming little beaches nestled between cliffs before reaching this beautiful, pristine white sand beach.

Playa de Muro

Soft sand and shallow water make this beach ideal for kids, complete with a lifeguard on duty. We enjoyed building sandcastles and splashing in the water. Despite the windy day, the dunes provided shelter, allowing us to have a wonderful time—something we hadn’t expected given the strong inland winds. While this picturesque beach is very family-friendly, it also has the typical tourist amenities like sun loungers, umbrellas, and restaurants, lacking a sense of untouched nature. Personally, I prefer the smaller coves for a swim and a brief visit, but for a full day of lounging and playing, this beach is perfect.

Cala Figuera

Another stunning cove. We arrived early on a chilly, windy morning and chose to wait for a swim until reaching Cala Boquer later, though the water was tempting. The hike to the cove was short and fairly easy, and it was pleasantly quiet during our visit. However, keep in mind this spot is just off the road to Cap de Formentor, a very popular route, so I assume it can get crowded – especially in summer. Note: the road is closed to cars in the summer.

Cala Boquer

After a moderately easy hike, this stunning cove offers a breathtaking backdrop and a perfect opportunity for a refreshing swim in the beautiful water. However, it may not be ideal for children, as the rocky terrain can be slippery. Even if swimming isn’t on your agenda, it’s a worthwhile visit. The unique pancake-shaped rocks, azure water, and numerous goats wandering the beach and valley make this spot truly memorable.
