Mallorca is synonymous of the sea breeze, the port, and of course the beach. Choosing which the best beaches in Majorca is most definitely not an easy task, as there are so many of them and the great thing is, the majority are stunning. Crystal-clear water, dreamy coves and endless services. Make a note of our selection and enjoy!
Many of Mallorca’s beaches are dominated by secluded coves, which sometimes become genuine, private beaches. That’s the case with Cales de Betlem, next to Artà, as it’s made up of numerous small coves which are quiet and tranquil. So, if you’re looking for a peaceful spot to rest, this is the place for you.

Torrent de Pareis, in Sa Calobra
In addition to going for a dip, this Northern area of Mallorca also offers a spectacular landscape as it’s been declared a Natural Monument where we can lose ourselves exploring. You can go hiking (with specialist walkers) and take a dip in the two shingle coves (Sa Calobra and Torres de Pareis, a protected natural area). The part which stands out the most is the fact that the movement of the water has sculpted a valley.
This is one of the best-known coves and it simply cannot be missed out. This cove has been declared a Natural Area of Special Interest and its turquoise waters and stunning dunes make it a magical location.
If you stay at one of our Hotels VIVA, you’ll be right next to this beach, at the same time as enjoying all of our services: Balneum Spa for those who are looking for relaxation, sports facilities for lovers of triathlon, cycling or golf, or loads of activities for kids if you come as a family.

Playa de Formentor, in Pollença
Those who have visited this beach, always come back. This is one of Mallorca’s white sandy beaches with crystal-clear water, which offers one of the most unspoiled and spectacular landscapes on the island.

This cove is nestled between cliffs and draws attention as it’s a very narrow beach. Although it’s very busy during high season, there are many unspoiled coves which are definitely worth the visit. If you like to have everything nearby, this is the place for you as it’s equipped with all the services you could ask for: bar, sun loungers, showers…

Cala Gossalba in Pollença
Once in a while, we find some true, natural gems among the beaches in Mallorca. This cove is lesser-known, small, secluded and paradisiac. It’s surrounded by a native forest and tends to be quite hidden, so it’s not the easiest to find. However, if you enjoy a bit of adventure and discovering hidden treasures, this cove is 100% recommended.
