BEACHES
Mallorca, the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands, is a Mediterranean paradise known for its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and exquisite cuisine. From crystal-clear waters and dramatic coastal cliffs to charming villages and bustling markets, Mallorca offers a diverse array of experiences for every traveler. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a taste of local flavors, this island gem has something special for everyone.
Starting with Platja Estanys, my favorite spot upon arriving on this beautiful island, you'll find a serene and tranquil environment perfect for unwinding away from the crowds. Its shallow waters are ideal for a relaxing swim and it's a great spot to enjoy the stunning sunsets.
Next to Estanys you will also find Es Trenc Beach which is renowned for its pristine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, often likened to the Caribbean. Nature lovers will appreciate the surrounding dunes and the protected natural park, perfect for scenic walks and birdwatching.
Among the plethora of beautiful beaches dotting Menorca's coastline, my ultimate must-visit recommendation is Caló del Moro. Renowned for its dramatic rocky outcrops and awe-inspiring vistas, it's the epitome of an Instagram-worthy setting. Adventurers will relish the rewarding hike to this secluded gem, promising a more intimate and unforgettable experience.
