Beaches
With over 500km of coastline and more than 200 sun-soaked beaches, there’s no better way to spend the days during your Majorcan break, than by lazing beside the sea.
From the peaceful golden sands of the Blue Flag beach of Platja de Muro in the north of the island, to the soft white sands of Alcudia Beach, you’re sure to find a secluded spot where you can drift away.
Cala Portals Vells is another incredible beach, with golden sands, rocky cliffs and tranquil, turquoise waters. Surrounded by pine forest, the clear sea here offers excellent underwater conditions for diving.
