Beaches of Mallorca

Fine sand, open bays and clear-water coves: Mallorca's coastline is the heart of the Balearic Islands.

Mallorca brings together urban beaches by Palma, wild southern sands and cliff coves in the north. From IHM Mallorca, based in Lloseta, you are well placed to reach Playa de Palma, Es Trenc, Formentor and Cala Millor.

Playa de Palma

The great sand arc facing Palma: seafront promenade, seasonal services and a lively atmosphere. Ideal for swimming, sunset walks and a terrace facing the Mediterranean.

  • Best photo light: sunrise and late afternoon.
  • Long, flat promenade — perfect on foot or by bike.
  • Combine swimming, leisure and seaside dining.

Es Trenc

In the south, Es Trenc offers dunes, turquoise water and a more natural feel — the calmer counterpart to urban beaches.

  • Bring water and sun protection: little shade.
  • Great for families seeking space and calm.
  • Respect the dunes: a fragile ecosystem.

  • In high season arrive early: access fills up.
  • Comfortable shoes for the cape viewpoints.
  • Combine with a Serra de Tramuntana route.
