Coll Baix beach

It is not very easy to reach Coll Baix beach on the northern coast of the island of Majorca, but it is definitely worth the effort.
To access the beach and enjoy the spectacle of turquoise waters surrounded by unspoilt nature, you will have to follow a path of about one kilometre.
By car or scooter, from Camí de la Muntanya, continue to a hut and then follow the footpath to the beach.
Cala Varques 
Cala Varques
Surrounded by hills and pine forests, Cala Varques is the place where white sand gives way to a turquoise sea so beautiful it looks fake.

Mondrago Cove 
Mondrago Cove
This beach is located in the south of the island of Majorca. Here, rocks alternate with stretches of sand, creating a snorkelling paradise.

Playa es Trenc 
Playa es Trenc
Playa es Trenc is one of Mallorca's most photogenic beaches: an expanse of white sand and turquoise waters make it look like a Caribbean beach.
