Mallorca is home to some of the most diverse coastal landscapes in the Mediterranean. Its coastline features wide bays with light sands, sheltered coves, stretches of urban beachfront and areas that retain a distinctly natural character. In 2026, the island has 22 Blue Flag beaches, spread across the north, east, south and the Bay of Palma. Discover the 8 best Blue Flag beaches in Mallorca.
Cala Mondragó
Cala Mondragó is located within Mondragó Natural Park, on the coast of Santanyí. Its white sand, turquoise waters and pine forests that stretch almost to the shoreline create one of the most iconic landscapes in south-eastern Mallorca.
The area's appeal extends beyond swimming. The surrounding landscape is a major attraction, with walking trails leading to rocky outcrops, Mediterranean vegetation and scenic viewpoints overlooking the coast.
Formentor
At the northern tip of the island, Formentor offers a beach that differs from the typical Mallorcan cove. It is a long, narrow stretch of sand, shaded by pine trees and nestled between the mountains of the Formentor peninsula and the Bay of Pollença. The water is typically crystal clear.
The access road passes through some of Mallorca's most spectacular scenery, with winding bends, viewpoints and panoramic sea vistas. The beach lies close to the historic Formentor Hotel and offers a range of visitor facilities.

Cala Sa Nau
Cala Sa Nau is one of the most attractive coves on the island's eastern coast, between Felanitx and Santanyí. The sea flows between two pine-covered hillsides, creating a sheltered inlet with exceptionally clear waters that take on an intense turquoise hue in bright sunshine.
The seabed alternates between sandy and rocky areas, a common feature along this stretch of coastline that appeals to visitors with snorkelling gear as well as those who enjoy swimming along the edges of the cove. Road access ends above the beach, requiring a short walk down to the shore.
Cala Millor
Cala Millor is one of the largest sandy beaches on Mallorca's eastern coastline. Its extensive stretch of pale sand links Sant Llorenç des Cardassar and Son Servera. At the same time, a seafront promenade lined with hotels, restaurants, shops and walking areas runs alongside the beach.
The shoreline slopes gently into the sea, and on calm days the bay displays the vivid blue colours for which it is known. When the wind picks up, waves can add a different dynamic to the beach experience.

S'Amarador
S'Amarador retains a more unspoilt character than many beaches in southern Mallorca. Also located within Mondragó Natural Park, it sits beside a small system of wetlands and dunes, surrounded by a relatively undeveloped landscape.
The sandy beach is spacious by cove standards and maintains an open, natural feel, free from large-scale beachfront development. From here, visitors can walk to Cala Mondragó via the park's network of trails.
Cala Barques
In Cala Sant Vicenç, within the municipality of Pollença, Cala Barques combines sea, mountains and a collection of small coves close to the Serra de Tramuntana. The beach lies within a sheltered bay framed by rocky outcrops.
Its location in a small residential area means restaurants and services are within easy reach, while still preserving the feeling of being surrounded by rugged natural scenery. Several other small beaches can also be found nearby.
Es Port
Es Port is located beside Colònia de Sant Jordi in Ses Salines. Facing south, it offers clear, shallow waters close to the shore and a family-friendly atmosphere. The beach is also easily accessible from the town centre.
Its appeal is enhanced by its proximity to Es Trenc and the nearby jetties, where visitors can sometimes spot Cabrera on clear days. The surrounding area features rocky sections, coastal footpaths and other swimming areas.

Cala Marçal
Cala Marçal is one of the best-known beaches in Portocolom, on the coast of Felanitx. Set within a broad cove, sheltered by low hills and scattered houses, it offers a sizeable stretch of sand compared with many other coves in the area.
Its proximity to Portocolom harbour adds to its appeal. After a day at the beach, visitors can stroll along the harbour promenade, admire the traditional fishing boats and explore one of eastern Mallorca's most distinctive coastal towns.
