Top Things to do in Palma de Mallorca
The 10 Best Beaches in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands
Palma, the economic and cultural hub of Majorca, is a delightful base for exploring the island's many gold and white beaches. A former Moorish casbah, or walled city, Palma's Old Town is an appealing maze of narrow streets that are a delight to explore on foot. Hop on the Soller Railway for a 17-mile scenic trip, visit 14th-century Bellver Castle and the museum of contemporary art, and check out the nightlife.

Absolutely gorgeous beach. You will find numerous reviews on how to get there. It does involve a walk, and then a mountainous walk (not very long). The path down is steep and requires some consideration and careful walking, but it is worth it. Watch the tides if you want to lie on the sand. If high tide you will be sitting on rocks which aren't particularly comfortable. It gets busy too. A popular spot, well worth the trouble of getting to. We read a few reviews about it being a nudist spot. Not when we were there.

Three clean beaches that can be a bit of a challenge to reach,but well worth it, one has a bar on it and quite small one much larger with facilities . The naturist beach in the centre is very lovely with great clear water for snorkelling,by far our favourite, returning this year

This small beach has the cleanest water I’ve seen near Palma. Compared to playa de Palma this is heavenly although smaller

A spectacular round walk down from Deia on two old paths, walking boots preferred. Rocky beach was very busy, the water is clear and it’s great for swimming or snorkelling. Difficult to walk on the rocks and even if you are driving down consider some comfy shoes. Parking is very busy and limited. 2 great beach restaurants service local food, great fish (sardines, langoustines, calamari) Really beautiful setting - definitely worth the hike if you can make it.

The water is warm and the beach isn't that deep. The town is full of restaurants with delicious food, wines, souvenirs, etc We had a great time. We went there after doing "The Camino de Santiago" You must visit!
