Among the many beaches on Mallorca, the traditional and well-established naturist beaches are not to be missed. It is possible to find several of these on Mallorca, some are close to Palma and some are further away. Palma Beach is one of the best known beaches on Mallorca. Just a short distance away from the centre of Palma, this is one of the best cared for and easiest to access beaches on the island. A large slice of Mallorca’s tourism heads for different zones of Palma Beach (Ca'n Pastilla, El Arenal, Cala Estancia,...). If what you are looking for are beaches further from the city, you could head for areas like Calas de Mallorca, with its large variety of beaches, Santa Ponça, Alcudia, Pollença, Formentor - from where on very clear days it is possible to see the island of Menorca - and many others. They have all been recognised by the European Union for being clean and safe beaches. The area of Magaluf, in Calvià, is the recreation zone par excellence for British summer holidaymakers and it has an ample range of restaurants, bars, hotels and discos.

Palma Beach
S´Arenal Beach, or Palma Beach is shared between the municipalities of Palma de Mallorca and Llucmajor and has a length of 4,600 m and a breadth of 50 m. One of the most extensive sand dune systems of Mallorca was located here before the construction of the El Arenal tourism centre, and some traces of these dunes can still be seen. Their destruction has provoked serious problems with the natural regeneration of the sand, like with many other Mallorcan beaches, up to the point where sand, washed away by storms, has to be regularly dredged from the sea floor. During the summer the beach is very well populated by thousands of tourists, many of them German, who enjoy their holidays in the area’s hotels. There is a footpath running along the length of the beach where the popular spa and some open air bars, on the footpath, can be found. The most popular of these is located at number 6. Services: Bars and restaurants, shops, showers, lounge chairs, umbrellas, pedal-boat and windsurf rental, water-ski, volleyball nets, etc.
Cala Major
Cala Major is a beach that is located in a densely populated urban area. It is 250m long and 30 wide. To get there, take Gavina Street where there is a bus stop nearby. This place is very well protected from the wind and from the cold that comes from the north, which makes it an ideal spot for swimming in the cooler months. The Marivent Palace, residence of the Spanish monarchs during their summer holidays is found on one of the beach’s shores. Due to this, for security reasons, no boats can be anchored here. Services: All sorts of bars, restaurants, shops, lounge chairs, umbrellas and pedal-boats for hire.

Es Trenc
Four kilometres of coastline showcase more than 170 species of bird that glide over the beauty of this beach. It is the reigning stretch of virgin sand in Mallorca and created controversy in terms of economic interests, which were aroused by the beach’s potential as a source for unprecedented wealth. A system of dunes separates the beach from the area of cultivated land. As nature flourishes everywhere in Es Trenc, two subterranean springs of different temperatures meet. This peculiarity has been the product of investigations and myths since 1827, which is where its original Catalan name comes from, which means crack or rupture.
