  • To celebrate 18 years of living in Mallorca, Spain, I have made this video - my Top 10 Beaches in Mallorca | An Insider's Guide. So join me and find out where my favourite beaches are in Mallorca (Majorca).
    These Mallorca beaches have been chosen not only for their sheer beauty, and quality of water but also because of (in most cases) their access to services such as cafes, restaurants and toilets.
    The majority of beaches here are well-serviced by public transport but I have chosen a couple which involve a short hike.
    I will also give advice about finding an empty beach in July and August.
    Don't forget you can book your Summer holiday here with Jet2: www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmi...
    If you would like to find out why I moved to Mallorca and what life has been like here over the past 18 years, then check out my book Living in Mallorca Under the Sun here: amzn.to/3VeGvVH

    We did Alcúdia cala D'or and palma nova and Magaluf....in june 2023. I have to agree Alcudia is the best and we love cala D'or as well. 2 small kids would not leave the sand for dinner. $13 for secure locks on umbrellas had the family all in the best water all day. Already planning on going back in 2024. We liked palma nova where we started but after Alcudia we knew where to go back to.

    Thank you for your invaluable island knowledge Alex, Totally agree with Formentor & Cala St V, sadly I saw in the local press Cala St V is losing their beach bar! I cannot fathom the absurdity of local councils!! Also you missed out Port de Pollenca, (obviously I'm biased as our apartment is near & its our go to local beach.) Personally love Alcanada in Alcudia. Not sure you can get the bus out there, Advise bring beach shoes as its completely pebbly. Picnic under ancient Pines. Equally gets packed in the high season. Lots of locals go there too. The water is amazingly clear deep and great for snorkelling. Enjoy

      Oh no, has that been confirmed. Is it the beach bar in this video? It has to be one of the prettiest bars too. How absolutely ridiculous - I wonder if they'll get rid of the huge hotel on on the other side right on the coastline? Thanks for the other tips!

      Hi, I made this video as a piece of evergreen content that could be viewed throughout the year and not just in May. It wouldn't have made financial sense to drive around the island to film each individual beach from Sant Elm to Cala d'Or to Formentor in real time when I had the footage over the past year that I could use. I did film the presenting bit and Illetas beaches in real time though as that was where I went to make the video.
