The Mediterranean in its most complete version: crystal clear coves, designer beach clubs among pine trees and limestone rock, luxury estates inland, Palma as a top-level cultural city and the most sophisticated summer in the Balearic Islands.
Mallorca needs no explanation to the European traveler—it's the most visited beach destination on the continent. What does need explaining is why this massive success hasn't destroyed what makes it special: the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range with its ochre-colored cliffside villages, the coves in the north and east with the clearest water in the western Mediterranean, Palma as a city of top-tier European design and gastronomy, and a beach club scene that has evolved to offer options that directly rival the best in Ibiza.
Mallorca Sandbeds This isn't the Mallorca of sun and beach packages. It's the Mallorca of Purobeach overlooking the Bay of Palma, the Mallorca of Shiva Beach Club in a northern cove with impossibly colored water, the Mallorca of inland estates with infinity pools and the Tramuntana Mountains as a horizon, the Mallorca of the signature restaurants in Palma's old town that have made the Balearic capital one of the most interesting gastronomically diverse cities in Spain.
The island has 550 kilometers of coastline, more than 200 beaches and coves, 3 Michelin stars concentrated in Palma and the southwest, and a beach lifestyle offering that in high season —from June to September— is unrivaled in the Spanish Mediterranean.
Cala Mallorquina — the Mediterranean in its purest form
“Mallorca is the only Mediterranean destination that has everything at once: the designer beach club, the pristine cove 20 minutes away, the estate with an infinity pool overlooking the Tramuntana mountains, the signature restaurant in the old town, and the superyacht in Puerto Portals. No other Mediterranean destination has that density of top-tier options.”
Editorial Team Sandbeds
The island offers four completely distinct destination profiles. Choosing the right area is the most important decision you'll make when traveling to Mallorca: the wrong area can turn a perfect holiday into a day stuck in traffic between your hotel and the beach.
Beach Clubs · Nightlife · Gastronomy · City

Deià, Valldemossa, Sóller, and Port de Sóller are the most photographed towns in Mallorca. The northern coves—Cala Deiyà, Cala Tuent, Sa Calobra—are inaccessible by wide road and boast the clearest water on the island. Luxury here lies in exclusive access and privacy.

Mallorca boasts the highest density of quality beach clubs in the Spanish Mediterranean. From Purobeach—the urban beach club model that has been exported worldwide—to Shiva in the northern cove with its pristine waters, each venue has its own personality and clientele. Here is our selection. Sandbeds.
Purobeach Illetas is the beach club that exported the concept of the Mediterranean designer beach club to the rest of the world: a philosophy of meticulously designed spaces, curated music, quality service, and cuisine that surpasses the industry average, all in a prime beachfront setting. Illetas boasts the clearest water in southwest Mallorca—a sheltered cove 8 kilometers from Palma that seems almost impossible at that distance from the city.
Purobeach Illetas' clientele blends high-end Palma residents with premium European tourists who choose it as their top beach club on the island. The combination of the cove's sheltered location—offering calm waters ideal for swimming even with a Levante wind—with the venue's design and its extensive cocktail and food menu makes Purobeach Illetas Mallorca's premier beach club.
The Original Over the Bay
The first Purobeach in history: the club that invented the concept of an urban beach club on the Bay of Palma in 2001. Direct views of La Seu Cathedral from the sunbeds and the combination of pool, bar and lounge music that exported the Mallorca model to the world.
The Global Brand in the Mediterranean
The world's most renowned beach club franchise is back in its Mallorcan location: Porto Portals, with superyachts moored 50 meters away. Sunday's party features a DJ and the international atmosphere that characterizes all Nikki Beach locations worldwide.
Mallorca's Best Kept Secret
Shiva Beach Club, nestled in a cove in northern Mallorca accessible by a mountain road, offers water of an impossible color, unique to the sheltered coves of the north, signature cuisine, and the tranquility of complete silence. The most exclusive and secret beach club on the island.
The Design Beach Club
UM Beach House Portals boasts the most refined design of any beach club in the Southwest: premium sunbeds, impeccable table service, and the most sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere of all the venues in the Portals area. It's the perfect choice for couples who prefer elegance to a party atmosphere.
Gastronomy on the Front Line
The beach club with the most ambitious culinary vision on Playa de Palma: a menu of contemporary Mallorcan cuisine featuring local produce, handcrafted cocktails, and the most sophisticated atmosphere in urban Playa de Palma. The alternative to Purobeach for those who value gastronomy more than the pool.
The Spa Tradition
The historic Illetas spa: over 60 years in the same cove, with the tradition of a Mediterranean spa transformed into a modern beach club. It boasts the most local clientele of all the venues in the southwest and the most family-friendly atmosphere in the Illetas area.
The Magaluf Pool Party
The Flamingos Pool Club is the most festive dayclub in Mallorca: swimming pool, DJs from midday, international atmosphere and the social energy of modern Magaluf that has evolved from drunken tourism to a beach lifestyle with a bit more discernment.
The Premium of Palma Nova
Palma Nova's premium beach club: a superior offering to the area's standard, featuring fine dining, premium sunbed service, and the sophisticated atmosphere that defines Palma Nova's beach scene compared to Magaluf. For those seeking the southwest without the noise.
The Design Bet
Numa Beach Club is the most editorially minded of the new generation of beach clubs in Mallorca: interior design with discernment, a creative cocktail menu and the atmosphere of the new Mallorcan beach lifestyle scene that doesn't want to be Ibiza but does want Ibiza's level.
Mallorca has over 200 beaches and coves. The problem isn't finding one—it's choosing which one, because the difference between a crowded tourist cove in August and a northern cove accessible only by boat or mountain path is, quite literally, a world of difference. Here's our selection. Sandbeds of the essential ones and those worth seeking out.
Cala Deiyà
The cove of the village of Deià, accessible by 300 steps from the village or by boat from Port de Sóller. Crystal-clear turquoise water, limestone cliffs, and the Serra de Tramuntana mountains plunging directly into the sea. No amenities, no beach bar, no sunbeds for rent. One of the 10 most spectacular coves in the Mediterranean.
Playa de Formentor
Mallorca's most photographed beach: fine white sand nestled among the pine trees of Cape Formentor, with the historic Barceló Formentor Hotel as a backdrop. Road access is restricted during peak season—a shuttle bus from Port de Pollensa is mandatory. Undeniably the best beach in the north of the island.
Es Trenc
The longest beach on the south coast, with almost 3 kilometers of white sand and turquoise water, not a single hotel on the beachfront. A Natural Park that protects access and ensures that overcrowding is physically limited. The image of a Caribbean beach in the Mediterranean that no one expects to find in Mallorca.
Cala Mondrago
The most beautiful cove in Mondragó Natural Park: two coves joined by a pine-lined path with crystal-clear water. The protected ecosystem keeps the vegetation pristine and limits car access. Perfect for families seeking nature and crystal-clear water without the difficult access of the northern coves.
Cala Tuent
The cove at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains is accessible via a mountain road that keeps most visitors away. The water boasts the most intense turquoise hue on the north coast, and solitude is guaranteed outside of the August weekends. It's Mallorca's secret cove, known only to locals but not to publicize.
Illetas & Portals Vells
The sheltered coves of the southwest, just 10-15 minutes from Palma: Illetas, with the infrastructure of the Purobeach and Balneario beach clubs; Portals Vells, with its three freely accessible coves and the most accessible underwater cave system on the island. The southwest is ideal for those who don't want to drive two hours to the north.
The Mallorcan finca is the most authentic luxury accommodation in the Balearic Islands: 17th and 18th-century stone farmhouses restored with contemporary taste, an infinity pool overlooking the valley, centuries-old olive trees, and the Tramuntana mountain range as a horizon. No resort in Palma, no matter how many stars it has, can compete with the privacy and beauty of a well-chosen Mallorcan finca.
The country estates in the Sóller Valley and the surrounding area of Deià boast the most spectacular views on the island: the Tramuntana mountains stretching down to the Mediterranean, the orange and lemon groves of the valley, and the tranquility of the mountains. These are the most expensive and most sought-after properties. Prices range from €2.000 per week for small groups to €20.000 per week for the largest estates.
The interior of Mallorca boasts properties of equal architectural quality at significantly lower prices than those in the Tramuntana mountains: the plains of Pla de Mallorca with their almond and carob trees, 360-degree views, and the tranquility of rural Mallorca that doesn't appear in Instagram photos. Just a 25–35 minute drive from any beach in the south or east.
The properties in the municipality of Calvià have the advantage of proximity: 15–20 minutes from Palma, easy access to the southwest beach clubs by car, and the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range in the background. They are the ideal option for those who want a country estate but don't want to be far from the amenities of the capital.
Not all properties in Mallorca are the same. These are the criteria that Sandbeds Use for selection:
The best rooftop bars in Mallorca are in Palma, and they all share the same visual appeal: the La Seu Cathedral and the Bay of Palma, viewed from a perspective simply not available from ground level. They offer the most complete evening plan in the Balearic capital.
The Cathedral and the Bay from the Best Angle
The rooftop bar at the Hotel Almudaina boasts the most direct view of La Seu Cathedral of any rooftop bar in Palma: the iconic Balearic Gothic cathedral 400 meters away, with the bay and the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop. The best sundowner in the Balearic capital.
The Pool above Palm
Hotel Nakar boasts the best contemporary rooftop design in Palma: a rooftop pool overlooking the bay, creative cocktails, and the ambiance of the most aesthetically pleasing boutique hotel in the center of Palma.
The Bay Area Classic
The Saratoga boasts one of Palma's most historic rooftops: directly overlooking the bay, with the Mediterranean waters at its feet and the ambiance of a classic hotel in the Balearic capital. It's a popular meeting place for Palma residents to enjoy an evening aperitif.
The Rooftop of the 5-Star GL
The Hotel El Llorenç Parc de la Mar is the only 5-star Grand Luxury hotel in Palma's old town. Its rooftop bar, Urbà, offers the perfect combination: a swimming pool, signature cocktails, and views of Parc de la Mar and the cathedral from the historic center.
The Rooftop of the Port
The rooftop of the Hotel Llaut Palace overlooking the port of Palma: the boats of the Club de Mar, the bay, and the Mediterranean in the background. The perfect spot for travelers arriving by boat or those seeking a view of the city from the marina.
Mallorca's best spas aren't in city hotels: they're in the restored historic estates of the island's interior and north. Cap Rocat, in a 19th-century military fortress overlooking the sea, Belmond La Residencia in Deià, nestled in the spectacular Tramuntana mountains, and Son Brull, in an 18th-century monastery, represent the gold standard of Mallorcan luxury spas.
In a 19th-century military fortress perched on the cliffs of southeastern Mallorca, with a private cove at the foot of its walls. The spa features a pool carved into the rock with direct views of the Mediterranean. The most cinematic hotel on the island.
The most famous hotel in northern Mallorca, located in the village of Deià: two historic estates joined by gardens of centuries-old olive trees, with the spa overlooking the valley and the Tramuntana mountains as a constant backdrop. A favorite among celebrities since the 90s.
An 18th-century monastery converted into a boutique hotel with a spa in Pollensa: treatments with local products from Mallorcan herbalism, an outdoor pool among the orange trees of the cloister and the most authentic historical setting in the north of the island.
The spa at Valldemossa's most stylish hotel: hydrotherapy treatments with water from the local spring, massages with almond oil from Mallorca, and views of the historic valley where Chopin and George Sand spent their famous winter of 1838.
Palma boasts the highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants in the Balearic Islands and is one of the cities with the highest density of quality dining options per capita in Spain. Mallorcan cuisine—including ensaimada, sobrasada, frit mallorquí, cocarrois, and tumbet—coexists with the signature restaurants that have made Palma one of the most exciting gastronomic destinations in the European Mediterranean.
Michelin-starred restaurants in Palma
Adrianus Hiel (formerly Adrianus), Aromata, Marc Fosh, and Zaranda (at the Son Net Hotel in Puigpunyent) lead Mallorca's high-end gastronomic scene. Signature Mallorcan cuisine featuring produce from the inland gardens, Mallorcan black pig, and Mediterranean seafood are the hallmarks of the island's finest gastronomy.
The La Lonja neighborhood
The La Lonja neighborhood in Palma is the epicenter of the capital's informal gastronomic life: vermouth bars with tapas of sobrasada and ensaimada, signature Mediterranean cuisine restaurants, the terraces of Paseo Born and the mix of resident and traveler that makes La Lonja the most authentic neighborhood in Palma in any season.
Mallorcan Cuisine
Don't leave Mallorca without: the ensaimada from Forn des Teatre (the most famous on the island), the sobrasada made with Mallorcan black sausage (available at any inland market), frit mallorquín (offal with vegetables), tumbet (Mallorcan ratatouille), and con blanc (rabbit with garlic and almonds). This is the cuisine that locals eat and tourists rarely try.
Cooking at Beach Clubs
Mallorca's best beach clubs offer culinary experiences that go beyond the standard of a typical beach bar: Assaona with its signature Mallorcan cuisine, Shiva with the most sophisticated menu in the north, and Purobeach with the most consistent cocktails and lounge dining experience on the island. Lunch at a Mallorca beach club can be a truly first-class gastronomic experience.
Wines from Mallorca
The Binissalem and Pla i Llevant Designations of Origin produce some of Spain's most interesting wines: Manto Negro—a native Mallorcan grape—yields reds with unique acidity and body characteristic of the insular Mediterranean. The wineries of Biniagual, An Negra, Miquel Gelabert, and 4 Kilos are the most internationally renowned.
Domestic Markets
The weekly markets in the interior of Mallorca offer the most authentic experience of the destination: Sineu (Wednesday), Inca (Thursday), Pollensa (Sunday), and Campos (Saturday). Discover sobrasada, Mallorcan cheese, almond blossoms in January and February, and a village atmosphere untouched by tourism.
Mallorca's nightlife offers two completely distinct experiences: Palma, with its old town bars, seafront clubs, and the La Lonja cocktail bar scene, which boasts the highest standards in the Spanish Mediterranean; and Magaluf, with its intense European mass tourism scene, which has transformed in recent years into a more sophisticated nightlife. The nightclubs at the airport and Son Sant Joan Airport complete the offerings.
The Ibiza franchise in Palma: Pacha Mallorca boasts the most renowned music lineup of clubs along the seafront, featuring international DJs and the signature Pacha aesthetic adapted to the Mallorcan style. Perfect for those coming from Ibiza and wanting to continue the party in Mallorca.
Palma's most historic club overlooking the bay: the terrace over the Mediterranean and the electronic music program that makes Titós the club with the best visual environment in the Balearic capital.
The biggest club in Mallorca and one of the biggest in Europe: capacity for 4.000 people, 7 floors, 3 stages, and the high-volume music that defines Magaluf's nightlife. For those who want to party without limits.
Palma's most distinctive club: organic electronic music, a bohemian atmosphere, and the most alternative crowd in the Balearic capital. Palma's equivalent of Scorpios: music as the selection criterion.
The most social club in the center of Palma: a varied events program, a diverse crowd, and the most accessible nightlife option in the old town. Perfect for those who combine dinner at La Lonja with a night out in the city center.
Palma's most underground techno club: a program of dark electronic music, an atmosphere of the capital's alternative scene, and the space where the local scene meets international DJs who don't go to BCM.
Mallorca is the most seasonal destination in our entire collection: in July and August the island receives over 15 million tourists, and overcrowding at the most popular coves can be a real problem. June and September are the team's favorite months. SandbedsJust as good weather, fewer people and prices between 20 and 40% lower than the August peak.
26–28°C · The favorite
Everything is open, prices haven't yet reached their August peak, and Palma's streets are not congested. The perfect month for visiting the northern coves without the queues.
26–29°C · Post-season
The residents' favorite month: peak heat but without the crowds of August. The water reaches its highest temperature of the year (25°C).
29–33°C · High season
The island at its peak: peak prices, packed coves, and the most festive atmosphere. For those who don't mind crowds and want the liveliest entertainment.
15–22°C · Low season
The island without tourists: many beach clubs closed, but nature, gastronomy, and cycling are in optimal condition. The almond trees in bloom in February are unique.

What is the best time to visit Mallorca?
June and September are the team's favorite months SandbedsThe weather is identical to August (26–29°C), all beach clubs and venues are open, and there are noticeably fewer crowds. Prices are between 20 and 40% lower than in August. Access to the northern coves (Cala Deiyà, Cala Tuent) is much easier in June than in August. July and August are the liveliest but also the most crowded.
Where to stay in Mallorca according to the traveler's profile?
Palma and the southwest (Portals, Illetas): for those who combine beach and city life, lively beach clubs and nightlife. Serra de Tramuntana (Deià, Sóller): for nature, architecture and the understated luxury of country estates. North (Pollensa, Formentor): for families and cyclists. East and southeast (Cala Mondragó, Es Trenc): for nature and uncrowded, protected coves.
How to get around Mallorca?
Rental car: essential for exploring the north and its hidden coves. Without a car, access to most of the island's most spectacular spots is impossible or extremely difficult. Alternatives: the historic Palma-Sóller train (a must-do experience) and public buses to Formentor (essential during peak season when the road is restricted). Taxis and ride-hailing services in Palma are available for getting around town.
What shouldn't you miss in Mallorca?
The historic Palma-Sóller train (operating since 1912, crossing the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range through tunnels and over bridges). The Sa Calobra road (27 curves, the most spectacular mountain pass in the Balearic Islands). The sunset from Cap de Formentor. A stroll through Palma's old town at night. The Sineu market on Wednesdays.
Are there fees for visiting the beaches in Mallorca?
No. Public beaches in Mallorca are free to access. Beach clubs charge for sunbed and parasol rentals (between €15 and €50 per sunbed depending on the venue and season). Coves within the Mondragó Natural Park and those with restricted access have paid parking during peak season. Sunbed reservations at the best beach clubs (Purobeach, Nikki Beach) in July and August must be made in advance.
What are the best beach clubs in Mallorca?
Purobeach Illetas is the benchmark for quality and consistency. Shiva Beach Club is the most exclusive and the most secluded. Nikki Beach Mallorca in Portals has the most international atmosphere and the most festive Sunday Brunch. UM Beach House Portals is the choice for couples who want elegance without the crowds of Nikki. Assaona Gastrobeach has the best gastronomic menu of all the beach clubs on the island.
Mallorca vs Ibiza: Which one to choose?
They are complementary, not alternative, destinations: Ibiza boasts the best electronic music beach club scene in the Mediterranean and the most vibrant nightlife in Europe. Mallorca offers greater variety (secret coves, inland estates, and Palma itself), the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, superior urban cuisine, and more options for families and travelers seeking a quieter beach experience. For a first-time visit: Mallorca offers more variety. For the pure beach lifestyle: Ibiza.
Is it possible to visit Mallorca and Formentera or Ibiza on the same trip?
Yes. The Balearia ferry between Palma and Ibiza takes 2,5 hours (fast) or 4 hours (standard). The journey from Mallorca to Formentera requires a stop in Ibiza (35-minute ferry from Ibiza). For a week-long trip, 4 nights in Mallorca and 3 nights in Ibiza is the most popular combination in the Balearic Islands.
When do the beach clubs in Mallorca open?
Most beach clubs in Mallorca are open from May to October, with peak season concentrated in June-September. Purobeach Palma has longer opening hours as it's an urban venue. Beach clubs in the north (Shiva) are open exclusively during peak season. Check each venue's website for opening dates before planning your visit—some years they may open earlier or later.
Which property should I rent in Mallorca?
For the highest level of luxury: the estates in the Sóller Valley or the Deià area (from €2.000/week for groups of 4-6 people). For better value: the inland estates (Sineu, Randa) at prices 30-50% lower than those in the Tramuntana mountains, with the same architecture and pool. Always verify tourist licenses and local professional management.
In our collection of destinations, there are places that are most exciting on the first visit: the spectacular Arch of Los Cabos, the barefoot luxury of Tulum, the drama of the Uluwatu cliffs in Bali. Mallorca doesn't work that way. Mallorca is amazing on the second visit, and the third, and the tenth.
The visitor who returns to Mallorca knows what he comes looking for and finds it exactly where he left it: the northern cove accessible only on foot, the Michelin-starred restaurant in Palma's old town, the estate with an infinity pool and the Tramuntana mountains in the background, the beach club in Illetas with water that seems impossible eight kilometers from the center of a capital city.
That reliability—that ability to deliver exactly what it promises visit after visit—is Mallorca's most valuable asset, one that no other Mediterranean island has yet managed to replicate. The island you always return to is the best possible destination.
Mallorca 2026 — the Mediterranean to which you always return
Reservations at Purobeach Illetas, Nikki Beach, and Shiva Beach Club. Selection and booking of villas in the Sóller Valley and Deià. Spa at Cap Rocat and Belmond La Residencia. Yacht charter from Puerto Portals to the northern coves. Transfers and luxury cars. Michelin-starred restaurants.
