Things to do in Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands: The Best Beaches
The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

What a fantastic chilled beach. One of my all time favourites. The atmosphere is a real chilled vibe. The beach is an alcove with clear blue sea framed by a couple of bars and restaurants. Tucked away in the North East of the Island this is a great place.

This is an absolutely beautiful beach which is surrounded by pine forests and has crystal clear blue sea. The beach is also very clean and well-kept and it had a very calm and relaxed feel. It is advisable to drive to the beach and be warned that the carpark has a limited amount of space and once it's full, they don't let any more cars in, so to guarantee getting in it's best to aim to arrive by 9.15am (I know it's an early wake up but it's worth it). it is a 25 minute walk through pine forests from the carpark to Cala Macarella which is also beautiful but larger and less secluded. To get to Cala Macaraletta, it is a 5-10 minute walk up and down the adjacent cliff (there is a clear and relatively safe path) which has some amazing views of both beaches from the top. There is also a friendly and funny man who makes freshly-made mojitos (classic or with raspberries and blueberries) at the corner of the beach which are 7 euros each and were some of the most delicious mojitos I've ever had. They are well worth trying! All in all,if you want a day at a beautiful beach, this should definitely be on your itinerary.

€7 to rent a sun bed We had to wait in a line for 25 minutes in the scorching sun to enter the other side of the beach as they didn’t want everyone together the beach is very small for the amount of people there. However walk is very tiring up the hill to get to the other beach but many beautiful views

I went to Playa de Muro Beach looking for a calm beach with fine sand for my 2 year old to play. This beach is really perfect for this. It has nice fine sand, calm sea, life guards and umbrellas rental. There are no restaurants on the beach, but you will find many options to eat (restaurants and markets) 1 block away. If you want to rent an umbrella (& lounges) I recommend going to the beach early in order to do so. The umbrella will be reserved for you the entire day, so you can go back to your hotel and return later. There is also a safe on the umbrella! So dont be afraid of leaving your values while you go for a swim. The sea is clean and very calm. You will see small fishes swimming around your feet. Just wonderfull!

Cala del Pilar is a wonderful beach reached by a 45 minute walk through beautiful woodland. Car parking is in a designated park. We visited on a spring day in January, There were less than 10 cars in the car park but does get very busy mid summer.
