Beaches in the Palma area that you should visit

Several beaches around Palma, Mallorca's bustling capital, are ideal for bathing without having to go long distances. Read on and find out which are some of them.

Cala Mayor

Cala Mayor beach is about 12 kilometres from the centre of Palma and has beach umbrellas, sun loungers, showers and toilets, allowing tourists to fully enjoy their days of sunbathing and swimming in the sea.

Cala Mayor beach is 200 metres long and 80 metres wide. In summer, however, despite its large size, it quickly fills up with couples, families and groups of friends who are all eager to cool off in its turquoise waters. As a result, we urge that you arrive early in the morning to ensure that you get a good spot to spread your towel.

Illetas

Illetas is a tiny paradise less than 20 minutes by car from Palma, Mallorca's capital. The sheer beauty of the place entices visitors to stroll along the beach or go kayaking along the shore. The Illetas Tower, a landmark of military architecture erected between 1577 and 1597, welcomes all those who want to discover more about the island's history.

Those wondering what to see and do in Illetas will be delighted to know that the place also offers a wide selection of recreational activities. The Balneario Illetas is well worth a visit! This well-known beach club features an exclusive section with luxury sun loungers, a restaurant serving superb Mediterranean cuisine, and a wide range of hearty breakfasts and brunches to get you started on the right foot.


Ciudad Jardín

It is feasible to pedal from Palma's centre to Ciudad Jardín's beach by following the coastal cycle route. This beach is one of the liveliest on the island, with many bars, restaurants, and hotels just a few steps away.

It is, without a doubt, the ideal beach for people who want to take advantage of the pleasant weather without venturing too far from Palma's centre. In truth, the distance between Cort (the name given to the capital's town hall) and Ciudad Jardín is just four kilometres, and owing to its large size, finding a spot to lay your towel is typically uncomplicated.

Illetas is a popular destination for visitors and locals seeking the best beaches in the Palma area. Its fame is due, above all, to its crystalline waters and the numerous bars and restaurants that surround it, among which the Balneario Illetas stands out. After a long day of sunbathing, there's no better place to recharge your batteries than the area's number one beach club, where you can enjoy the tastiest Mediterranean cuisine and the most delectable traditional Mallorcan delicacies.
