The 8 Mallorca beaches you’ll see on all social media this summer

If you close your eyes and think about a heavenly beach, you will probably be imagining something very similar to Es Trenc. White sand, clear blue waters, unspoiled environment and not a single building in the way. Beaches have rightly earned their reputation as one of the most iconic beaches in Mallorca. It is a trend every year on social media due to the fact that with its almost pristine environment and natural light, the hard thing is not to take a great photo.

Few people know it, but it’s also home to one of the few nudist areas in Mallorca, perfect for travelers who want to feel even freer. It is in the south of the island, between Sa Ràpita and Colonia de Sant Jordi, and within a protected area. And forget about beach bars: here will be only you, the sea and a peace that is difficult to find.

One of those beaches that everyone likes. Located in the north-east of Mallorca, it is surrounded by pine trees and plants, giving it a wild natural air, but also with all the services required to spend a day without any problems. It’s perfect if you visit with the family and want a nice, spacious place with everything you need nearby.

She shows up all over again on social media every summer, and that’s no surprise: Shallow turquoise waters, golden sand and mountains in the backdrop complete the picture-postcard image of one of the best beaches in Mallorca. The colors of the landscape are so bright that it’s hard not to take out your mobile phone and share a photo right away. And if you want to explore, there are plenty of paths that lead to spectacular coves such as Cala Mesquida or Cala Moltó.

Have you ever seen an image of a beautiful blue beach with a wooden walkway leading into the sea? This is Playa de Muro, famous for its beauty. Located in Alcudia Bay, it is one of the longest in Mallorca, with clear and fairly calm waters. What makes it special is not only how beautiful it is (almost like a paradise), but also how versatile it is. There’s room for everyone: families with children, couples looking to disconnect, people who love water sports or just a towel, sun and peace.

If you want to start the day with good vibes, enjoy watching the sunrise in Playa de Muro. A spectacular show of colors that not even the best Instagram filter could match. A stay in a hotel in Playa de Muro allows you to enjoy the beach at any time of day, in no rush and with all the comforts of home. Note down a visit on your agenda if you want to take the best photos of your holiday in Mallorca.

A small, quiet restaurant with all the charm of a place that doesn’t need much an introduction. Cala Llombards is in the south-east of the island and is a top destination for travelers who prefer quiet locations but also spectacular locations. This is a fairly unknown cove surrounded by cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation, making it the perfect place to enjoy the sea away from the hustle and bustle.

Although it’s not very big, it has a spacious swimming area and really transparent water. There are no hotels or large buildings in sight, which gives the beach a more wild and authentic air, like a virgin cove. And if you like to explore, just a few minutes’ walk away you’ll find another corner of the island worthy of Instagram: the natural stone arch of Es Pontàs.

To get to Sa Calobra you have to travel along a road with hairpin bends and stunning views. But every turn is worth it, as at the end of the route you arrive at a spectacular beach. Another option is to take a boat from Port de Sóller, a relaxing and different way to visit this hidden cove. If you prefer an adventure, you can hike the Torrent de Pareis, a path that crosses an impressive gorge and ends right on the beach. And if you prefer cycling, visit this beach following one of the most spectacular cycling routes in Mallorca: Alcudia - Pollença - Lluc-Sa Calobra.

When you get to Sa Calobra beach, you will see a small stone cove surrounded by high cliffs, a place with so much personality that every summer it becomes the star of social media.

A beautiful beach in Formentor, one of the most unspoilt and spectacular locations in Mallorca. It is surrounded by dense pine forest that provides natural shade, and also has perfect views of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains. For decades, it has been one of the top destinations for artists, writers and travelers seeking something more than just sun and beach. Today, it continues to enchant visitors with its mountainous scenery and serene waters.

The beach is long and with light sand and, although quite popular, it still retains a calm atmosphere. You can often see boats anchored near the coast and couples strolling around at sunset. Definitely an environment to admire ... and to take the perfect photo.

This is one of those beaches that is discovered almost by chance, but which is never forgotten. It is hidden away between Porto Cristo and Portocolom and you have to walk for a while through the pine trees to get to it. But that’s where the magic lies: when you arrive, you’ll know that the walk has been worth it. There are no bars, no sunbeds, or anything that sounds like mass tourism. Just nature in its purest form and a relaxed, almost hippie ambience where time passes more slowly. Perfect for spending the day without time, swimming, reading and enjoying the sun. I would say that Cala Varques is one of the quietest (and most photogenic) beaches in Mallorca.

If you prefer a beach with atmosphere, non-stop activities and a lively seafront promenade, Magaluf awaits you. This part of the southwest of the island is famous for its nightlife, but many people are surprised when they discover that the beach is one of the most beautiful in the island. At more than a kilometer long, with calm waters and a modern environment full of services, this beach makes it easy for you to enjoy yourself without any fuss.

Restaurants, beach clubs, shops, water sports. It's impossible to get bored here. And to make sure you don’t have to choose between fun and relaxation, stay in one of the hotels in Magaluf near the sea and with the perfect atmosphere to make the most of every moment.
