Mallorca has over 200 beaches – but the real gems are known only to locals. Here are our hidden beach picks.
Northeast
- Cala Mesquida: Large natural beach with dunes, less crowded
- Cala Torta: Dirt road access – almost deserted. Crystal clear water.
- Cala Varques: 20-minute walk from car park. Spectacular with caves.
Southeast
- Caló des Moro: Postcard-perfect but tiny – arrive early! Steep descent.
- Cala S’Almunia: Next to Caló des Moro, slightly larger. Old fishermen’s houses.
- Cala Màrmols: Only by boat or 3-hour hike. Completely untouched.
West / Tramuntana
- Cala Deià: Small rocky cove below the artists’ village. Great restaurant on the beach.
- Sa Calobra: Dramatic gorge meeting the sea. Spectacular road.
- Platja de Formentor: Fine sand with pine forests. Perfect in spring/autumn.
South
- Es Carbó: Walking access only (30 min). Long, deserted natural beach.
- Platja Es Caragol: No facilities at all. Naturist-friendly.
